Front cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread Practice

 Here are my four practice attempts at making a cover page, contents page an double page spread.

Cover Page 

As you can see on the front of the cover page there is an image of Liam Gallagher and his band Beady Eye. For my actual cover I will not be able to use this image as of copyright reasons, so I will be taking my own photos. But I decided to use this band for my practice work as the genre of their music fits in well with mine. I created this by using Microsoft PowerPoint. Firstly I selected an image, of good quality, from Google, I also chose a barcode to use. I then added the title TMM (The Music Magazine), I had to create my own title and like this because it is short yet effective, I will probably use this title for my actual piece of work.

Contents Page

The contents page, again was created by using Microsoft PowerPoint. I have included what the readers will see and what type of bands/artists there are inside. One thing that I will have to improve on for actual work is the amount of dead space there is, I don't think that there has been a good amount of information added, this then may bring my final grade down, so it is important that I take in to account what is wrong with this page, in order for me to make it better.

Double Page Spread

The double page spread contains an interview with Beady Eye. Again, I chose to use this band because I researched and found out that they are extremely liked by my target audience, therefore I believed that this would attract the TA and make them want to buy the magazine. This has also gave me a lot of ideas for my own magazine. For example my magazine double page spread will be an interview with a famous musician, I have decided to do this as when I asked my peers what they prefer to read when they buy a magazine the most popular answer was of course an interview.

I will also ensure that I include a few more pictures, to keep the TA interested.

Teachers Feedback

Overall I recieved fair comments back from my teacher.

For example the cover page, I did not add the date, which I now realise will bring my grades down.

I have thoroughly read through the feedback and I now know what is good and can be included into my work and anything bad I will not add.
