Construction Of Double Page Spread 1st Draft

This is my very first draft for my double page spread, i've began to experiment around with diffrent font styles and font sizes so that i can choose the right style that is suited to my music magazine genre that is "Metal". In my next draft, i'm going to choose between someof my photos that i've taken and then decide which one(s) will be suited best and will generally look the better for the double page spread.

Mrs D

Well done for meeting your contents deadline.
Your layout works well and the editor's letter is effective. Watch the capitals and make sure it is more original than some of your RMAs. You would benefit from tighter cropping of the main image and maybe changing the bottom image too. Keep up the good work.

More Original Images

 This is another set or original images that I've taken, so therefore I have a wide variety to choose from for some of my final images, this also given me the opportunity to go out and take some much better and/or clearer images fort my music magazine, resulting In these images shown.

Mrs D

This is a pretty good draft Harry. Well done. I like the creativity with challenging the codes and conventions of direct address. The banner at the top works well - however, all images need to be original so this will need to be changed. Make sure the bar code and cover lines don't bleed off the edge of the page.

Construction Of Front Cover 4th Draft

Construction Of Front Cover

These are two rough beignnings to my front cover of my music magazine, the one above is the in which people that asked (ages 16-18) for audience feeback said "it's a better and clearer shot" than the one below that's shown. I personally prefer the one above so therefore i will continue to construct along with it.

2nd Set Of Original Photos

Synergyhouse Style

Synergyhouse Style



There will be aspects of my magazine that will make it be diffrent and be more noticable than other magazines in the buiness. I will use some colours including red, yellow and white to make it more unique and because I feel that these colours represent the style of music magazine that i'm going for. My font that i will be using is also a unique one, it appears to be slightly rugged and battered giving it that more "rock" and "metal" feel to it therefore making it stand out to other music magazines.

Front Cover First Draft

This was an one of my original images that I liked and began to start some construction of my front cover, i like the style of it and the emotion that can be portayed, however I came across a problem in that I didnt give myself enough head room on the image so therefore i'm going to take some more images to tackle this problem.

Mrs D

Harry, you have missed your second deadline - you have not uploaded your construction schedule, mes ideas and how you will create synergy across all 3 pages. It is very important that you meet your deadlines for research and planning marks and to get important feedback from me.

MES Ideas

MES Ideas

• Location - Urban style, against a brick wall, anger and violence to be portrayed, this links to the more rock and metal genre that I'm focusing on for my magazine
• Clothing - Jeans (skinny), black or grey, band t-shirt to show the link and the interest there

Mrs D

Your mood board looks good and links to genre well. You need some comments/analysis on this too.
