First Drafts

First Drafts 

These are first drafts that lay out and display how i would like my music magazine to look. It is quite a complicated style for the contents and cover page as it built up of shapes that leave a lot of dead space in the angles. However i'm planning to fill the dead space with quotes or images with a contrasting colour which will stand out from the shape fill. If it works though it will have a modern and contemporary look which suites my genre which is electronic music.  

The Cover page will draft will be composed like this. It will feature a main image which dominates the majority of the page which is accompanied by sections with short paragraphs and images linking into other stories in the magazines. Any of the space which is too narrow for text or images will be filled with a colour that matches the surrounding images and text. The colour black will feature heavily as it is rather a blank canvas and can be accompanied by a range of different colours without looking tacky or basic. 

This contents page features a similar layout to that of the cover page. it is built up of many squares of two colours. they are angled and leave the contents page on a tangent. this will feature a range of images of either individual artists or equipment that are based on Dubstep and bass music. For instance a large stereo system with separate speakers. Again filling space will be quite hard but if it works it will loo modern and contemporary. 

This page features a conventional double page spread layout which features an interview with an artist or group. It has a large image on one page with a quote or small paragraph overlapping it. accompanied by a page with a large heading taking an extract of the interview and the whole interview in the text beneath it. It also has a separate space for the questions.
