Media Coursework

This is my final design idea for the front cover of my magazine. I really love the simplicity of the layout because it allows the audience to see all the information they might need and has a slight similarity to Clash's magazine layout and style. Although I have decided to use a white background behind the photograph to compliment the title of my magazine and what the artist is wearing.  I ensured that my artist wore clothing that linked to the style of my magazine (alternative) which is why he is seen wearing a simple black top. My intentions here are to gain attention through my unique title and bold artist names. I also decided to put the duo 'Camellia' in a baby blue colour as this is their signature colour (which is seen later on within my double page spread). I also believe this might add elements of curiosity for my front cover.

Here is an image of my final contents page idea. I decided to choose this idea because I believed the colour scheme of the page was more fitting; its simplistic and all the information needed is accessible; I also decided to add a small image of the front cover to this page to illustrate the 'physical copy'. Despite the fact that the changes I made aren't very drastic, I believe this contents page comes across as more sophisticated-possibly due to its black and white colour scheme.
