Music Magazine

First Draft of Cover

The Front Cover

This is the front cover of my music magazine ‘Helter Skelter’. As this is the first initial draft(s) of my magazine I did not feel the need to use colour, as I wanted to use these drafts as more of a basic representation of my school magazine layout.

The Masthead

The mast head of my magazine is in a almost handwritten font like the magazine ‘rolling Stone’. Underneath the masthead there is a statement that says ‘The Complete Rock Magazine’ this is there to challenge a potential readers views on what is the most ‘Complete Rock Magazine’ . Next to that statement there is an issue number (119) to show what issue this magazine is.

The Main Image

The Main image on the cover of the magazine is the most famous or the most exclusive artist. The artist is the only image on the front cover as I wanted to highlight the importance of the artist.

The Sell Lines

The sell lines I have produced are there to try and make shopper’s more interested in the magazine; and it is an indication to what other artists and stories are available in the magazine.

The Splash & Pull Quote

The splash of the magazine is the name of the artist “Howell”. I wanted to only used the latter part of his name to signify the importance of the artist. Underneath the splash is a Pull Quote that says “How Music GCSE changed my life”. This is giving the reader a glimpse into a topic of discussion in the magazine.

The Footer

The purpose of the footer is to show further information that can be found in the magazine. In my footer I have incorporated the names of other famous artists to show that they are also in the magazine.

Further Information

Other information that is relevant to the magazine is the barcode that I have located on the right hand side of the magazine front page. I have also included a pug near the top right side of the magazine to indicate the price of the magazine in bigger detail.
