Screen shot Front Page.

This is a screen shot of my final front page. As you can see from my previous shots I have experimented and developed my ideas and they have been through a changing process.
I decided to use this photo as she is dressed in up to date clothes, and represents a positive image of teenagers.
I called my magazine VOICE because I wanted to keep it simple, and get straight to the point, so looking at my front cover you know straight away that it is going to be a music magazine.
I chose to use white writing on my front cover because the background is black and I think that the white writing contrasts well and is able to stand out and will be read easily for the audience.
I have placed two photographs underneath the title. One photo shows a guitar, so this again, shows the audience what my magazine is going to be about. The other photo shows a young teenager smiling, to give a positive feel to my magazine and make the audience aware that my magazine will be happy and entertaining.
When designing my layout for my front cover, I wasn't entirely sure which theme to take. After many development processes I knew I wanted a dark background. So when taking the photos of my model, I placed her in front of a black curtain to ensure I got the best layout possible. I believe that this has worked well because it enabled me to place anything over the top, as long as it linked in with the theme.
I also made sure my model wore suitable clothes, but especially clothes that stand out to ensure my audience would be hooked into my front cover, and make them want to open it to see what is inside.
I am pleased with my front cover and feel that it has worked well, and am proud of it.

Screen shots.

Here are two screen shots of my final pieces for my Double Page Spread, and my Contents Page. I like how these have turned out because you can see clear evidence of development and experimentation.

For my Double Page Spread, I knew the layout I wanted to achieve, so I made sure the photographs I took enabled me to succeed with this. I linked the colours together; red, black and white as I thought they contrasted well together and it is easy to read. I think it looks professional as it isn't too busy, but it is subtle.

For my contents page I still wanted to go with a similar theme of the red writing, but wanted to have an interesting background. I chose grey because it is a neutral colour, and it allows the red writing to stand out and be read easily. I added some photographs to make the page more enjoyable. The reason that I haven't gone over the top with my pages, is because I wanted my magazine to be up-market and although I was inspired by We Love Pop, my audience is of an older teenage age group.
