Double Page Spread

Double Page Spread

This is my Double Page Spread I used a beige background to mirror the 80s style and put the 'SYNTH&SONs' logo on the headline. The 'SYNTH&SONs' logo mirrors the computer screens of old 80s PCs.

Contents Page

Contents Page

This is my contents page it also had a colour scheme of black white and pale green to suit that of the front cover.

Front Cover

Front Page

This is my front cover, i made it black white and pale green to attract an older clientele, filling a gap in the market whereby people aged 25-40 cannot buy magazines to suit their musical tastes.

Mock Shots

On this post are the original images taken for my magazine. This is before I have manipulated them on Photoshop and I intend to explain where and how I am going to use these images within my magazine.

 This image I have chosen to use on my Front Page, I believe that it has a good background and would be relatively simple to successfully manipulate.

This image I have chosen to use on my Double Page Spread, however I don't want to use it as a main image, I have chosen to cut out the background and just have the three models sitting on the benches.

I have chosen not to use this image, I intended for it to look like they were playing the instruments however it wasn't taken properly and instead I don't believe it was suitable for my magazine. 

This image was to replace the previous image the i decided not to use.  I believe it looks better as it gives the impression that they were performing when the picture was taken. I have decided to use this image as the main image for my double page spread.

This image I have chosen to use on my Contents Page as the main image, I believe that  with manipulation it could look professional and would create a focal point for the whole page.

Mood Board

This is my mood board, on this are the types of band that my magazine will focus on. I addition they are some of my personal favorite bands.I believe that 80s style music doesn't get the coverage it deserves considering how well like it still is. Therefore i believe that a magazine such as mine will successfully fill this gap in the market.
