My double page spread so far.

My contents page so far.

Production Update

I have started to do my double page spread and started my contents page, I have also added and changed some things from my front cover hopefully to benefit my target audience.

Production Update

I have changed some fonts on my cover of the magazine and have added more text (cover stories) which all the colours used link together and match. However I have changed some of the stories more than once and still am not sure on what I think of them. 

Production Update

I have already made some changes to the front cover. The font I used for the word 'Download' didn't seem to go down well with my peers and therefore I have changed this to the font in which the magazines name is in.
'New Music Fast' has been changed and is now going diagonally downwards to add a different sort of affect. 
I also have added a picture to my background. My cover star is ideal for this magazine as she is a rock chic who loves the genre of music.

Production

So far in production I have started to do my front cover and put together different ideas. I have not yet got all my photos taken and therefore need to focus myself on completing this task. 

The next stage in my production will be to add my photo/s (when all complete) to my front cover and then start editing this in order for it to be a worthy magazine.

Locations

There will be many locations used to take pictures for my magazine. My idea for some of the shots are to be taken with landscapes behind them or at least with key features from these landscapes. The three main places I wish to take my photos are on Fort Royal Park, Worcester High Street and in a photography studio against a white or black background.

Audience Research 2

My audience were interested by the drafts and made some comments towards them. They did not think that the draft cover was as good as expected as it didn't have much to really draw you in to. However the use of a unique logo and the magazine name was a great hit with my audience focus group as they thought that 'pitch' summed up the style of the magazine and created a sort of atmosphere.
Charl thought that there needed to be more specific rock features aimed at females in order to make it look more successful.
Lotte had the idea of changing some of the topics and making it more unique and adding a female touch but making sure that there are a lot of rock topics.
Ceire liked the drafts however told me the sorts of colours she thought would be much better to use to really make the magazine more interesting.
