To start my magazine, I firstly must decide on a layout which fits both the main imagine, and most importantly, the masthead and slogan. I had decided to not completely cover my page with the main image as it was not the right size for me to fit, I had to crop the image to make the image fit the page, this was not a problem as nothing important was skipped or not included.
Because I saw that there was a lot of space on top and bottom of my page, and I didn’t think that I would put any highly important information on, I decided to fill it with additional information which the audience may be attracted to.
After I had decided the suitable background of my magazine, I then begun to add text/straplines to my page, I also decided to place the bar code and issue number and information near bottom right of page, this was influenced by other recognized music magazines such as NME and Kerrang!
Because there was limited space left, with not much left to add, I considered enlarging the masthead, however this made it unproportional to the area surrounding. Therefore I added an extra strapline.
To start my contents page, I had a layout from my draft where I would include a picture on the left of the page, I followed the layout and added the title of page at the top. This left room down the side to add the contents listing, and left space underneath for advertising, etc.
I added rectangle text boxes where the content would go, I labelled it to make the audience understand the layout of the magazine easier and where to find what they were looking for.
Because the full contents listing was written, I had an empty space at the bottom, I decided to add a advertising banner and a small page-over recommendation.
Before I entered any of my feature article text, I decided on a layout in where I would place my images and title.
Next I added all the text that fit around the layout of the images, I wanted to change the background colour, however I was not able to come to a answer, therefore I left it clear.
