I have picked three colours as this is what the most popular magazines use. I have decided to use black and white as well as red is to be shown as a popular colours on any type of magazine. By only having three colours it also keeps the page simple and eye catching.
Pictures:
All of my pictures are of my friends and they show different types of emotions that will link to the topics that I am covering in my preliminary music magazine. I wil also make the pictures black and white with a red background as this allows the colours of the magazine to stand out on the page. I have also used the idea of books and folders to link it back to the school theme.
Layouts:
I have gathered ideas for layouts from Q and NME- music magazines- and linked them together and also changed them around so they would appear to be totally different to the magazines which I gained my ideas from.
The NME magazine cover was full of words and pictures to show what was in that issue, but i found that although it was packed with news about different artists the front of the magazine was too busy so I knew that my magazine cover would have to be less busy and more simple.
The front of Q magazine is more how I would expect a magazine to appear, busy but not overly busy. It would mean that more people are likely to look at this editipon and it is also more asthetically pleasing. The three colour scheme also works on this cover but not on NMe as that includes too much colour. The picture in the middle of the page is simple yet effective it shows of the simplicity of the photo but the editing ont the picture adds a level of finesse to the picture and the magazine cover as whole.
The contents page is simple and easy to understand. I really like the idea of the boxes and the numbers inside the boxes and the simple headings to show a new topic to the reader. The idea as a whole is something that I would like to use on my magazine contents.
