Music Magazine Contents Page

This is my contents page the programme I used to create this task was Photoshop.I brought many Music magazines and picked ideas from each one which I liked.I noticed on most magazines( not just music)that their was a little section for the editor to write their views on the months issue, I thought that would be a great experiement to try out and I believe it works and does make my Contents page look very professional.Also many music magazines name the sections of the page number articles, mine were Main features, News,Urock feedback,Album Feedback and gig guide.


I also added a subscribe box,this was because I had an empty gap during construction, so I looked through some music magazines and many had subscribe boxes not nessisarily on the contents page in the corner( like mine) but some had a whole advert on it.

Music Magazine Double page spread

This is my double page spread which I created on a programme called Indesign. At the beginning of construction I made a plan first.Also to save time during class, I wrote out half of my story line on word and then copy and pasted it into Indesign, I then continued to write the article on Indesign.
