MG Double Page Spread Final Product

This is my double page spread at the start. I have found a union jack to give the magazine that bit of britishness again.

I have now turned the union jack green because the background is supposed to be green but at the same time can have the union jack. I have added a title to it with some informal mistakes again with “da” and “av” instead of “the” and “have”. I have also added an interview with the DJ and used red for the questions and white for his responses; this relates to the front cover when it says “I am English” by using white and red.

I have now added an image of the DJ and put a little advertisement above which relates to him; I have seen this in other magazines so I have also done it. It also relates to the start when it says “Nottingham is da city” because it mentions a chance to see him live at Nottingham.

MG Contents Page Final Product

This is my contents page. I have mixed a green and black background because after playing around I found this background to be good. I have put Contents as normal in green and put a drop shadow on it.

I have now added my contents in red and put on an image of the DJ to relate it to the front cover.

I have now added another image of the DJ as well putting a red glow around both of the images to make the look better. I have also added a competition on the bottom to see him live and added the page number to it.

MG Front Cover Final Product

For my final front cover I have put a bright green background with it having a white glow in the centre; this makes the image stand out more. I have put my masthead as normal but now I have put the images head overlapping some of the masthead; this is because I see this a lot in other magazines and also makes the image stand out more. I have used a medium shot because this is the most common shot in music magazines. I have put “Nottingham is da city” because the front cover often says things like this that will appear later in the magazine. I have wrote “da” instead of “the” because it’s informal and it relates the target audience; listeners to techno music.

Now I have added my barcode and put on the issue number and the date. I have added more text now showing more of what will be inside. Where it says “stokes #1 club” I have seen this before in other magazines and used it because it stands out a lot. I have also put a page number to it. I have put on the front “Propa’ British Techno” because I my target audience will be British and I want them to feel that this is the magazine for them.

To finish my final product I have put on the slogan at the top because I think it looks good between T and h. I have added the DJ’s name which is the image of on the front and also put “I am English” to relate the DJ to the audience again and it give it a bit of Britishness.

MG 3rd Double Page Spread Mock-up

The background is a mix of green and brown because these 2 colours go well together. I have put 2 images in these places because later the text will come in

I have added the page numbers and some of the text which I have putting in the same colours again; orange, green and red.

I have added the last of the text.

MG 2nd Double Page Spread Mock-up

This is my second double page spread. This time my background goes form a darker green on the left side to a brighter green on the right. Instead of having a green title I have gone for a red 1 with an orange outline just because a lot of my mock-ups are almost the same. The image I have used is a medium shot and I have erased the background.

I have now added the page numbers and added a background to the text and also put some text to the left side to take up some of the space.

To finish with I have put in an interview in green to take up the last of the empty space on the left side.
