Survey results

Survey results

I produced a survey to find out what my target audience expect from my dance music magazine. I found that the most popular name for my masthead was "Live Beat" so I plan to use that name. I am also going to use the colour scheme Purple/orange/black as this was the most popular choice. A lot of the ideas for content and images were popular. The two most popular ideas for my double page spread are an interview with a DJ and real life stories about festivals. I intend to take this information and apply it to my magazine.

The process of creating my contents page mock up

I first added the mast head that will be the name of the magazine with the same position and font as on the front cover. I decided to do this to give it house style. I positioned "contents.." bellow the mast head in a different font to introduce the page.

I then added a box for an image to go below the masthead and i gave the "contents" a background to draw attention to it

I next positioned the content on the right hand side and highlighted the text pink to draw attention to it and attract the young audience.

I then added another box for an image and a box for the web address for the magazine.

The process of creating my front cover mock up

I first made a box for my central image.

I then added the mast head and positioned it at the top center of the page as most magazines do this to draw attention to it. I used a font which I think would suit a dance music magazine as it is large and eye catching. I also slanted the mast head slightly to give it edge.

I added my cover lines and main cover line. My main cover line is a different font to the others and it is positioned under the masthead; this will draw the eye to it. the other cover lines are spread out around the page so the audience will read each one.

To finish off I added a date line and the box for a bar code
