Welcome to my foundation portfolio blog. Here I have blogged all of the work that I have completed whilst completing my music magazine. I have displayed the coursework and projects that I have produced. Also I have blogged all of my research and development that I have done throughout the project and an evaluation of my work at the end.

Contents

I have now put a picture of the front cover inside the cover because it gives it a sense on continuity and branding. I have also included the 'Featuring Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West & Tinie Tempah Tour'. This is to tell the audience that these are also articles in the magazine but isn't a main article. I have put an image with the main articles. Where there are areas on the page with nothing on them, I am going to fill them up with things about the magazine and a competition to win something.

Continuing my Contents

I have included images of the featuring artists throughout the magazine and what the articles will include about them. This is to let the audience have an idea of what they are to expect throughout the magazine.

I have my flat plan up when I am creating my contents so I can have an idea of what I wanted to do. I have completely changed what I wanted to do with my contents page but I am still wanting to use the same artists that I originally chose to use in the contents.

Making my Contents Page

I have decided to change my contents page because I thought that this was better then the original one that I did. I have created a separate part in my contents page for my band to make it obvious that this is the main article in my magazine. I have included images of the band to show the audience who they are. I have included a sentence about that 'The JACS' have said in the interview, making the audience eager to look at the rest of the interview. I have kept to the colour scheme of black and red because they are both bright and bold colours and will stand out. I have also included a bit about what to expect in the interview.

Final Double Page Spread

This is my final double page spread. I have included lots of images of my band to show that I have taken them in different locations. By including my CD cover it also promotes it so when it is released people will know what to look for. The double page spread contains an interview that I have come up with and produced.

Final Front Cover

I changed my front cover because I thought with the big green writing it wouldn't really appeal to my target audience and looked a bit tacky. I have changed it to these fonts because I have used them for my double page spread and on my CD cover and they look more professional and are more appealing to my target audience.
