'Tikit' Front Cover, Attempt 2, Version 4

Here, I added a subsidary image to the bottom of my page, acting as a poster that can be found inside the magazine. I also added a banner to the bottom to explain the image to the reader.

'Tikit' Front Cover, Attempt 2, Version 3.

Here, I added a banner to the top of my page to try and conform to the layouts of other magazines. I also added a competition reference to expand what could be inside the magazine, and to make the best of the avaliable space.

'Tikit' Front Cover, Attempt 2, Version 2

I decided the black background was too harsh for my cover, so decided to fade it, and lighten it up slightly. I also added another sell line and tried to decide where would be best to place other ones.

'Tikit' Front Cover, Second Version

After looking at my first attempt of my Music Magazine Cover, I decided to make it a more conventional piece by changing key elements to make it more like a traditional magazine. My masthead, I thought, was too outrageous in terms of its placement and delivery, so i used the design to make a more regular masthead, using the original image as the letter 'I', as not to waste it. I changed the main image to one where more of the band is visable, to give a clearer understanding of the purpose of the image. I changed the background colour to something I could more easily adapt to and change throughout the editing process, and I played around with ideas for the presentation of the sell lines.

Contents Pages I Love

I

I think this page works really well, even taking into consideration the lack of subsidary images. The amount of text on the page looks daunting at first, but then you look closer and see how much the magazine really has to offer within the covers. The band index is really helpful for people who are looking for a particular style or band.

Contents Pages I Love

 

I absolutely love this contents page! I think it includes everything a contents page should have, and it still looks so organised yet interesting. There are plenty of varied images which are relevant to the articles, and it includes clear page numbers to direct the reader. Im hoping my contents page will look as good as this one.
