Double Page Spread Guidelines

On my double page spread, I have applied guidelines which give me a indication on where the page will be cut during printing, this is important because I do not want the contents of my page to be damaged. By applying these guidelines, I have also slightly revamped the position of some text including the HG logo.

Music Magazine : Revision

I have revised my Cover Page, Contents Page and my Double-Page Spread and referred their designs very closely to a specific example model, taken from the magazine I have chose 'Vibe'. For example,
Contents Page
My whole contents page no. list, has been completely reworked, giving it a style more similar to that of my style models. I gave it varying text style (bold, regular, thin etc), I also aligned the text to the left side of the screen rather than having it centred. As well as adding other minor changes which reflect I have been referring to my style model.
Double-page spread
My double page spread has suffered the least amount of changes, as when designing it, I already referred closely to my style model. However, I did clean up the work, making the HG logo larger to fill empty wasted space and change several text effects to make the writing more clear.
Front Page
As for my front page, there are several conventions I need to change, such as the waste of space. To get rid of it, I will make my text larger. Overall, I am relatively pleased with the outcome of my front page and will continue to add minor updates to make sure it has as many of the conventions I require.

Music Magazine: DPS Draft

Here is a comparison of the work I made, and the work I based it off. At the same time, I applied my house style of the shades of blue and my logo "HG" which I believe came out very well.

Music Magazine DPS

Here is a style model of a double page spread that I intend to base mine of. I think this could work well as I could use my 'HG' logo in place where the 'WK'.

Music Magazine - Contents Page

Here is a scrap edit of my contents page. I have applied some style model conventions such as;

• The messy display of text found in Vibe Magazine's contents
• The varying style of text, some smaller, some bold.
• Logo in the background behind page's actor. 

Frontpage Futher Drafting

Here is the extended draft result of my magazine's front page. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome and believe I have stuck to conventions reasonably. For example;

• The sub headings along the side of the magazine alternate in colour
• A large heading 'Giforen' to catch a readers eye for fans of the 'artist'
• I have applied a appropriate price 
• I have applied a appropriate barcode
• I have established a logo that I intend to use for the other pages.

Though this is the final result, I may make other subtle changes to the magazine's front page for various reasons.

I must remember to change the sizes of the masthead and actor name. As well as look further into getting a new actor for this cover

Music Magazine Front Page & Models

This is the scrap front page I have made. I now intend to apply some of the concepts found from my style model onto the front page. This is so that I can hope the cover page will be able to resemble some sort of professionalism, which is inspired by the Vibe Magazine Style Models I have chose.
