the page.
For my front cover I made sure it was simple as from my research that’s what draws people to buy a
magazine. My female cover image is simple and ‘indie looking’ to relate to my genre. The artists featured
on my cover all correspond with what genre my magazine is trying to portray. The colour scheme is simple
and consistent throughout my cover and through to my contents page. The title and tag line are simple and
memorable with a bold font so my page does not look to packed and messy. The date, price, issue date and

throughout.
I wanted to create a contents page that shares all the same conventions as a
regular indie magazine. It is very simplistic to match my cover and uses the same
colour scheme also. The layout is the way it is due to the accessibility of the
information of the pages. The pictures to the left correspond to one of the articles
down the opposite side. There is an e-mail address to show the realist aspect of my
magazine as many magazines I have read ask for e-mails.

article.
For my double page spread, I tried to replicate a real magazine. The article itself is very
informative and achieved its goal on trying to give the insight of a new artist. The picture is
relevant to what is being said. I tried to keep the font readable and not to fancy as it would not
look as effective and appealing.
