This is my front cover I designed, I got my inspiration from music magazines such as Q and NME. I chose to photograph someone who would look like a conventional Indie-pop musician to make the theme of my magazine tie-in properly. I used sans-serif font for all of the text I wrote because I wanted the same text type throughout. But I alternated all of the text by using a variety of different font sizes, colours, outlines, gradients, to make the magazine conventional and attractive.
This is my final contents page, I wanted to use another photograph of the girl who was featured on the front cover so there was a recurring theme, and I added a quote she said to help promote the interview that was featured inside. I chose the colour yellow for the outline of the quote to match her glasses and I changed the font of her name 'Alice xo' to make it look like it had been hand-written.I wanted the word 'CONTENTS' to be big and bold so it was noticeable and be a big focus point. I number a few pages to show what would of been in the magazine and named a load of indie-pop bands and artists that were featured in the magazine, so if the artist on the front page wasn't what someone liked, a band featured within the magazine could interest them into buying the magazine.
This is my final double page spread, I worked around the magazine Q which inspiried me in some aspects of my double page spread. I used the line tool on InDesign to give the double page spread a layout, by using the lines it gives the page a definitive layout, and enables the viewers eyes tofollow the lines across the page. All the photographs were taken by me and I made all of the album covers in photoshop using a text tool and a crop tool. I made up websites to make it look more real and like other conventional magazines, I also added a date and page numbers to give a better effect of it seeming real.
