Here is the finished product for my contents page of my music magazine. I have placed the contents title at the top left of the page aswell as the date after it so it is clear to my readership what they are reader and what issue it is. I've also small printed 'Bare Noize magazine' above the magazine so it is clear in the minds of the reader and they remember what magazine has presented them with this. My main features are my first part of text on the page and it goes down in chronological page order for  my readers to simply understand where they can find the articles they are interested in and a small headline about what they are. The less important articles are in a completely different box to the main features, this allows my audience to see what other things are in the magazine as not all of my readers will be interested in just the mainstream products. My main image is of my main article artist, this is to emphasize how important the article is and how interesting it is as i have allowed it to be the only image on my contents page. I am happy with the way my contents page has turned out.

This is the completed version of my double page spread. I am very happy with the way that it has turned out. I made the page colourful as i tried to present my rapper as from a dark past but coming through to be a really colourful character. By using pink on some of the letters it emphasizes the artists choice/use of colour also. I changed the word 'big' into capital letters as another form of emphasizing how much success that this artist has suddenly had and therefore want to read about him as this could happen to any average guy. By aligning all my texts to the left i have presented a simple layout which would be easy for my target audience to understand as they do not want to be wasting their time decoding a double page spread they are only interested in the content. I started the interview with an introduction and ended it with some websites about the artist. So when my readers begins to read they start to get an insight into his life and what he has been through, by the end of the interview hopefully they will want to read more and look for some extra content.

This is the finished product of my front cover. I am very happy with the way it has turned out. I began my front cover by using one of the images of my model as the background of the page. This is used in almost every music magazine and its purpose is that the person on the cover will be the main feature in the magazine. So using my model as the main feature and the main picture made sense. I began experimenting with colours that i would use on the front cover.  At first i used a light blue similar to what i had used on my contents page, seeing as my image is quite dull i thought it looked out of place so i decided to replace it with a plain black instead. Once i had completed my title i continued to write my coverlines. My cover lines are based on the left as people read from left to right so it made sense that way. I placed a plug at the bottom of page suggesting that the competition was the 'BIGGEST' ever. This was to attract the attention of the audience by using capital letters to emphasis how big the competition actually is. I wrote coverline of my dps in pink as that represents the artist it is about and will catch peoples eye when they walk past it. I also colored in the words 'Sex Scandal' in red as sex scandals are normally associated with the colour red for lust/love.

I have decided to go with the title 'BARE NOISE' for my music magazine. Using colloquial language such as the slang term 'Bare' helps represent my magazine as with the times and 'hip'. Using these terms will help me attract my target audience as they can relate to the language that has been used. Using the word noise was an obvious choice as with the slang term bare it refers to 'alot of noise' which is was my magazine will be covering.

Here are a few of the images i have taken whilst creating my magazine. I decided i wanted to capture my model in several different poses so i was not stuck for choice in which images i would use. I had a few close up images so that i could capture the models expression through the picture but i will most likely be using full body shot images in my magazine, so that i can capture the way that he dresses and styles that he represents through the image.

Since i last edited my double page spread i began to place my imagine into the page. I began by opening my image into photoshop and magnetic lassoing the image so that i did not have the brick outline around my model. Once i had completed that i saved the image and placed it into in design. I also tried using multiple images to see how they looked on the page but in the end decided i would use my first idea.

Since my last post i have altered my double page spread in various different ways in which i hope to attract my target audience. I have finally taken away the picture i had in the back round and replaced it with a completely coloured background. I liked the colour of the sky in my previous picture so i used the 'Eyedropper Tool' to replicate the shade. After i completed my background i used the pencil tool to remove some of the blue in order for me to place an image inside. I have made my pencil outline messy and uneven as i think that if it was perfect it would look boring. Therefore it wouldnt look attractive to my audience. I have finally finished my interview with the rapper and i have chosen to have the questions in Bold. This is so its easier for the reader to transition between the questions and answers without being confused. Where i have placed the messy pencil outline will be where i am going to have my main image of the rapper. I am hoping to place the image of the rapper inside the art, i know this may be difficult because of the shape.
