Stage 1 - I decided that I wanted to use a plain white background as I knew that I could fill it with information and picture. I decided to use a very clear layout by splitting stories into 3 sections. News, features and reviews. This allows the viewer to see what bands will feature and what there section will involve. The font is the same as was used on the front page and the same colour scheme is used.





Stage 2 - I made my magazine look professional by adding an editors note as many magazine feature an editors note. The colour scheme is continued again by using a black background with white writing. The signature which also matches many other editor notes was drawn by using the paint brush. I also added a special offer to draw the viewers attention to buy the magazine. Had the magazine have had other front pages I would have used a past cover as many magazines do for their subscription offers.




Stage 3 - I added photos with page numbers along the bottom of the page. I arranged them so their were 2 colour photos in the middle and 2 back and white on the outsides. The colours from the photo also fit my colour scheme with the red hair and black and white colours. I rotated the photos to try to avoid the page becoming boring and used the smudge tool to give the photos a crinkled edge.
