Front Cover and Contents Page - Article Ideas

Contents Page:

On the contents page, there will be three columns of four articles (12 altogether). The Four articles from the front page will be included in these as four of the twelve. 

Drafting my Music Magazine

Drafting:

Using Photoshop, I decided to try and bring my design into life from the designs on the paper that I drew in the other post to photoshop on the computer, when I will eventually make my final and completed magazine. These are my drafts: (The photographs used are from GOOGLE IMAGES - I have used them to see what my magazine may look like).

Draft of the Front Cover

On the Front Cover, I will have a String Duo, consisting of a white female violinist and a black male cellist. They will either be on a stage with a light on them playing their instruments or they will be in a room with other instruments behind them.

Draft of the Contents Page

On the Contents Page, I will have three groups. The first group will be the portrait photograph on the left. Their group will consist of two males playing the flute and the clarinet.

On the Contents Page, I will have three groups. The second group will be the first landscape photograph on the right. Their group will consist of two males and two females, who are all singers.

On the Contents Page, I will have three groups. The third group will be the second landscape photograph on the right.Their group will consist of two male musicians, who play the flute and clarinet and two females, who are singers.

Draft of the Double Page Spread

On the Double Page Spread, I will have a String Duo from the Front Cover.

Before I can draft my Music Magazine, I have to design it. Below are my designs of the Front Cover, Contents Page and the Double Page Spread.

Music Magazine Name

Name:

I decided in my pitch, that the name of my music magazine would be Classic Ensemble. Using Microsoft Powerpoint, I created a text box with Cataneo BT font, which has a classic look. The font size used was 54 and Enlarged the 'E' of Ensemble to the font size of 100. I then took away the 'C' of Classic and the 'S' in Ensemble and replaced them with a Bass Clef and a Treble Clef. I made sure that the 'E', the bass clef and the treble clef were all the same size. I placed the Bass Clef and the Treble Clef in their places and turned round the Bass Clef to look like a 'C'. These are the Bass Clef and the Treble Clef.

I grouped the words and copied them into PAINT, saving them as a JPEG. This is what the Name of my magazine looks like:

Music Magazine Pitch
