EVIDENCE PICTURE WHICH I TOOK
FRONT COVER
The date, price and the issue number of the magazine appear s under the masthead and are discreetly positioned amongst the magazine’s name. They are the smallest font on the cover so they are the last things which the audience will notice. This is done purposely as their notice is captured by the main image, headline and cover lines and the price is the final piece of information which they have to search for but by now they are too interested in the contents of the magazine and willing to pay a higher amount The barcode is positioned in the right corner in a vertical fashion so it does not block or
steal focus away from the main image. The barcode is often necessary for the sale of the magazine and therefore it is a requirement which shows authenticity.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
DOUBLE SPREAD
For my magazine I had to create a Double page spread. This had to include a title, interview and some supporting images which you can see on my Magazine.
I used, in design CS4 to create the templates for my magazine and then i added text and background and images. But just looking at the the double page spread you can see who the target audience are which are hip hop/R&B.they are probably aged 15-25.i think this is show through the images as the dress sense of the models can suggest the genre. ARTICLE TITLE: this stands out the most as it is the biggest text in the article. This gives the high importance of the titile and is clear for readers to notice. Using the codes and conventions of articles that I analyzed, I added the following elements to my double page article.
Text colour - The use of text colour was used to highlight the questions and answers made by the interviewer (myself) and interviewee. The questions where in white response which was white and not in bold. This created the simple effect of understanding to the target-audience to whom was talking at the time.
Text I found in many articles in both music and other magazines the use of bracketing certain actions the interviewee made. I found this to create an engaging connection between interview and target-audience for it made the reader seem more involved in the interview, almost as if he/she was present at the time.
I noticed at the end of the interview of Q magazine, the use of a simple black box signified the end of the interview. Using this idea I wrote BLITZ.in bold at the end of my interview to signify the end of that interview.
I decided to choose this topic because it was related to the music magazine i think it included the theme of a music artist and human interest and so appeal to the target audience. I also used subtle colours so the article was easy to read and did not pose as busy in the sense that there was too much factors included that would make the reader confused.After taking the photos of the model for the double page i editit that in Photoshop, then i opened up INDESIGN CS4 with a new document in A4 size layout with three columns.When i was using photo shop I created a gradient background in (white&black) and dragged it over into the double page spread. It was re-sized and arranged so that the background was behind all the other elements of the double page spread. Using the tool box picked the shape square tool and sized as desired on the first column were the photos would be.

Preliminary Exercise
We had to produce a front cover and a content page for Stanmore college a Preliminary Exercise with the Software adobe in DesignCS4 which I never used.
so what I did I took a picture of a student from my media class in a medium shot because I just wanted the viewers to focus on their faces rather than their full length body as it is not important. Also we had to create a content page with college information or other varies of information. by doing this exercise I learnt so many things which i didn’t know, for example how to work with in design. Since the making of my preliminary exercise my skills have improved.
