Double Page Spread Design

This is a design of what my double page spread will look like. My questionnaire results have influenced the double page spread, as I had to make a design that the target audience would like (such as big pictures), therefore I took this into account and used a big picture. Also, I found out using my questionnaire that readers don't tend to like to read lots of text. So I decided to split the text up, and make it more interesting for the reader, such as there will be a paragraph about the music artist, questions for the artist and also questions from the fans about what they want to find about him/her. Therefore even though there is still text, it is not all about the same thing, which should hopefully make it more interesting.

Contents Page Design

This is a sketch of what my contents page will look like. Like my front cover, this is very useful because it will take less time to design the contents page as I have done a plan. From looking at the plan, I can tell that I will use a big picture for the contents page. This is because when I evaluated my questionnaire results I found out that readers like to see big pictures in the magazines that they read. Therefore I took this into account. I have also created fairly big sub-headings with page numbers relating to the sub-heading below. This means that it is easier for the reader to navigate around.

Front Cover Design

This is a sketch of what my front cover will roughly look like. Therefore when i come to designing my front cover I will know where to place what, and the order things are (such pictures and text). This is very useful because I will not need to worry when it comes do designing it because I will already know the design I'm going for.

Photo-shoot Storyboard

I have needed to plan my photo-shoot, in order to get some ideas of what looks best and what I prefer, so when the time comes to actually take the photos I will be able to use this storyboard.
I will be taking more than six pictures, however I just drew six in order to get a rough idea of what background I like, what type of shot looks best and what props I should use (such as guitars, microphones e.t.c).
Shot 1, 2 and 3 are all shot at a music studio. I feel that a music studio would be a good place to take photos as my music magazine is all about new metal bands, so if they are in a studio then it looks as if they are just starting out as a new band.
Shot 4 is shot outside, possibly next to woods, in order to get a variety of pictures and see if it will look good or not.
Shot 5 and 6 are based on a stage. I also feel that this is a good place for my pictures to be taken because if the character/characters are on a stage then the picture may look a lot more appealing for the audience, and if the room is dark with the stage lights on then it will fit in with the type of music I am doing.
