Written Plans For Magazine Pages

Written Plans for My Music Magazine Pages

Cover Page – The cover page will include a main imagine of the main singer and have taglines related with the article related inside the magazine, possibly a quote from the double page spread. The cover image itself will involve the lead singer either playing the guitar or leaning against the wall with the camera from a lower level so it’s looking up to the person so they’re the main focus. It will also include information on what other articles are in the magazine which will be located on the left or right third of the page. The masthead will be large stretching across the whole of the top of the page and in a bolder font to the rest of the text.

Contents Page – The photographs I’ll shoot for the cover page are going to be of the singer leaning against a wall holding a guitar playing it looking unconventional because he’ll be looking in a reflective and creative manner which is unconventional as it shows the other side to music which is thinking for inspiration with the lyrics for the songs, rather than just performing and selling tracks and albums. The articles I will include on the contents page are:

• ·         Hot or not?
• ·         Ask an artist
• ·         Ones to watch (2013 special)
• ·         Album or track reviews
• ·         The reader’s bad festival experiences
• ·         Gig guide
• ·         The month in pictures
• ·         Upcoming albums (Green Day)
• ·         Album Reviews (MellowHype and Ellie Goulding)
• ·         Festival Review (iTunes)
• ·         The perfect musical present for Christmas
• ·         Posters
• ·         Competitions
• ·         Top 10’s

Double Page Spread – The photographs I’ll shoot for this are of the main subject of the article looking directly at the camera to connect with the readers, the subject of the article will be their life before and besides music so the photo won’t involve any instruments such as a guitar so that the image relates with the article. The double page spread itself will be set out so the image dominates the left or right third of the page or the top half so that it’s the main area of the page to look at so it will draw the reader’s attention. The photo will have a quote over it so it pulls the reader in and the start of the article will have a drop capital taking up 3 lines and there will be around 2 or 3 quotes scattered in between the text so at a glance the reader will see these and be interested to read the article.
