Mock-up Contents

This is the mock-up of my contents page; I took inspiration from an ELLE magazine contents page I researched at the start of the course, this gave me the idea to create a border of images around the text. The text is not visible on the page as it's a mock-up however the blank white box in the centre of the page would be filled with a list of pages with page numbers and a brief description of what you should expect to find on each page.
I like my idea of having one repeated image around the outside of the text in black and white and then other images over-lapping these to represent other band members, in colour. The instrument props used in my test shots came in very handy for this contents page as I used the drummer with her sticks and the guitarist holding her pick. I like my mock-up a lot and think I will produce something similar for my final magazine. The title font is the same font as used on the cover of my magazine for the small text, this shows continuity through the pages and creates a themed font for the magazine.

Double Page Spread - Mock-Up

I produced this double page spread mock-up to show the style of layout I would like my magazine to look like, there will be a lot more writing on my final copy and I will shortly produce a mock-up article as well. I will include what is listed on the second page within my double page spread;

- Where the band are from

- The band's genre of music

- Examples of their songs

- The band's inspirations

Followed by an individual breakdown of each band member somewhere else on the page, this shows a well thought-out layout of a spread.

I think the images work really well together and they all tie in because each member is wearing denim, on the real version I will use a similar theme to this as it creates a unique signature dress sense of the band.

Mock-up Magazine Cover

This is the mock-up of magazine cover, my real magazine may be completely different to this depending on my final colour palette and photoshoot shots. I like the layout of my mock-up with the picture holding most of the colour on the page, the name of the band will be in a bright colour to stand out against the neutral title and 'what's inside' text. I produced this on Photoshop, and will do the same for my final magazine cover; my double page spread and contents page mock-ups will be posted shortly.
