This is my final double page spread. As you can see ive added a factfile to my interview giving the reader an insight into the like and dislikes of Sam Calvert. This allows readers to have their own opinion of him. I have images running down the right hand side of the interview that show him being relaxed holding his guitar in ordinary places. I did this because i want my readers to relate to him and know what hes like.

My latest double page spread looks more like a real magazines one. It has a tag line underneath the title of the magazine and the image has been smudged to make the background look hazy like hes in a dream ...which he sorts of thinks he is as hes living the dream he always wanted. on the right hand side of the page we have his interview and its set out in a structured way with the interviewers questions bigger and in blue to show the difference of speakers.

This is my first ideas on how to lay out my double page spread. I want my star of the interview on a page of his own in an image taking up half the page and on the other half i wanted my interview with him to own that side. Once again i have the title at the top of the page catching the readers eye but the main focus image takes over thisd time. I will add a tag line from the interview under the image giving a preview of what is it to be spoken about in the interview.

This is the final contents page for my magazine and is much more structured than my half finished version due to its columns and the way in which the list is spaced out around the image. it looks like there is nothing on the oage really but in fact there are quite a lot of things ive advertised in my magazine. ive added an issue number into the page as well showing it is an on-going magazine which comes out monthly to its target audience. there is a smaller image in the bottom left hand corner adding a bit of variety to the images and you gain an insight into what will be shown on the double page spread.
The blue box is there as an incentive for my readers to buy the magazine in the hope of winnig a prize from inside the mag.

This is my half finished contents page. As you can see the word ' Contents' is set in a stylised way one on top of another at the top left just under the title of the magazine. This draws the readers attention and shows them what is on that page. Around the image i have a list of information concerning what can be read in this weeks edition of the magazine. I needed to add more choice to the final piece and did so. The yellow rectangle boxes highlight what are the top news stories in my magazine and the less important news showing a structure to the contents page which is quite professional.

This is the first attempt at choosing a central image for my contents page to work around. It is this picture that is used in my final piece. I chose this image because i can fit plenty of text around the page advertising what is to be shown in the magazine. I have brought the titile from the front cover as well to show a constant theme.

This is my front cover halfway through when i had finally decided what it was i wanted the front page to look like. You can see i have my title which is the same as the final one and the image is the same as well. I have added more tag lines to show there is more in my magazine than previously and the barcode has been changed around. The black banner at the bottom of the page has less writing in the final one to make it short and dnappy and grab the reader.

This is another magazine front cover i was thinking of using for my magazine. it is bright and eye catching but i think the colours would of made my text hard to read and it looked a little bit like a poster.

This is the front cover for my magazine. My masthead is at the top of the page controlling most of the front cover. It is in bold colours using white with red and blue to stand out against the background and so people can notice it when its on the shelf. The blue and the red are colours that i will use throughout the magazine becoming a constant theme. I have used blue and red for my coverlines as well. My main central image is of my doublepage spread star Sam Calvert. He is holding a guitar and directly addressing the camera with his face so portray the genre of the magazine which is Indie type and to show that he is a confident up and coming star.
I have a price and barcode on the front cover as well which makes it look more proffesional because these are standard on front covers.
The black banner on the bottom of the page draws the attention of my readers because it stand out against the light background.
