My evaluation

Finished double page spread

My finished double page spread

Finished contents page

This is the flat plan for my double page spread, I know that it doesn't look like much but I think that once I have produced the final double page spread at the end I think it will be good. I haven't decided on a final background colour yet, I am going to wait until I've made the double page spread until I decide on a final colour.

I think having one picture of an individual taking up half the page is a good idea because then the reader can clearly see what the article is about and I think the simplicity will make the magazine look good.

I am going to stick with the gold writing because I think it looks good and it also stands out, so if it was on a shelf in a shop I think that people will definitely see it.

Draft of my contents page

For my contents page I was inspired by Empire magazine, on their contents page they have a picture in the centre of the page and then have the page numbers towards the bottom of the page. I think this is a good idea because it stands out and visually it is very good to look at.

My finished front cover

New picture for my front cover

I think that this picture would be a good front cover because I feel that it has en element of rebellious behaviour and that is what I associate with Rock. It is good because it has male and female people so that shows diversity, I think that it would be a good front cover because in my opinion this image stands out and in a shop you generally tend to buy the magazines that stand out. For a headline I was thinking of having a headline that tells you the band that these two people are in are on tour, I think this will be good because if people already like certain bands they will probably like them even more if they are going on tour to play live events.

Pictures that I am going to use for my magazine.

                                          I think this picture will be good because it shows a band performing and this could lead to me having a picture competition, the idea is that I could say that readers sent in their pictures from live events and then we can say why we picked this picture as the winner.

                                            Another picture from a live event

                                                    Because this is a close-up of someone famous I could write an exclusive interview.
