front cover mock up

final front cover

I have stuck the two main colours of blue and yellow, to make it seem like its dark.
I have added the other features that are going to be inside the magazine, including the offer of winning tickets for leeds fest, which i also put in my contents page but then realised it is more appropriate for being on the front cover. I have added the essentials of barcode, price, issue number and its weekly date.

final contents page

I have decided that this is going to be my final contents page, i have stuck to the same colours as the front cover, to show its in the same magazine. I have made the writing clear and easy to see. I have also clearly listed the main features in the magazine. On the black banner i would include my publishing details for example web adress, telephone number etc. It also looks good because band member Dana looks like he is looking at the contents sign.

front cover

I decided to use a 3rd colour onto the front cover of my magazine, because then it brings it away from all the bue and white, it also makes the magazine looks less dark.

front cover progress

I have gradually added the essentials to the front cover of the magazine, such as the barcode, price, date and issue number, aswell as the other features in the magazine, keeping it real with the two main colours, blue and white.
