My Music Magazine Contents Draft 1

This is the first draft of my contents page of my music magazine, I tried to adhere to my drawn drafts however the title on my drawing is different to the one I have created here as this one looks less childish and more modern, this style also matches the red lining in the masthead and the dark background along the sides on the cover as both colours are used to line the word contents. This creates synergy. There is a space between each letter which means the word will cross the centre line and cover both pages which will break convention as this will make the page memorable and unique as other products do not have this.

The contents is split into different sections as to separate the different types of articles in the magazine as some people will want to read the magazine for certain reasons. Blumler and Katz's theory is applied here as we buy magazines and media texts to diverse and for diversion, to escape into different places. This is why I separated the articles, to make the things people know they want easier to find amongst the many features in the magazine.

The blank boxes are where the photographs I am going to take will go. One photo is going to be a group shot of three girls in modern and affordable clothing that would appeal to my target audience. One will be an image of the artist featured in my double page spread. Another will be a photo of a male on a stage (maybe an image from the Bring Me The Horizon concert I am going to which is mentioned in the contents page). Finally, the last image will show a group of males in an outdoor shoot posing as an upcoming indie rock band. I came across these images online and I like the style of posing and I will take influence from these images for the last photograph on my contents. From the first one I like the background and the simplicity of the idea, I also like the way they are dressed as they look quite rock but I would want darker colours in mine. From the second image I like the way they are stood as it looks more natural and more indie and unique.
