The Main Article

My task is to complete a musical magazine, with a front page plus a contents page and a two page spread. This will all be fully detailed and also have images on my focused band. The music choice that I have chosen is Indie, primarily this is due to:

1. It's the music I listen to - therefore it being easiest to relate to.
2. I also read Indie magazines such as (NME) and I could use this as a template or a base of my ideas.

Also I must mention that the task that I completed as my preliminary work helped me as a kind of "starter" for this main coursework. Below is a full list of everything I did in the preliminary coursework and I also listed it with captions and a brief description of why I did this.

Flat plan contents

My contents page is just a brief overview of what my main one is going to be about - As my flat plan of my front page, I will introduce colour and images to give it an upbeat

Flat plan

This is my flat plan of the front cover of my magazine - Obviousley my main cover will be more colourful and vibrant. But this helps give me a quick overview of what I need to put in it.

On my front page I have made it colourful and also showed things such as "Price" etc. I gave a brief view on what my magazine is about and what will be included within it. I also gave a cheeky catchphrase saying "were counting on you!" just to help emphasise that we need the students vote to get Dom up in the ranks of President.

My contents is bright and vibrant. This drags the reader in. therefore resulting in profit, also I think that what I have within my magazine are interesting: such as "How he achieved his greatness?" This is all interesting and means they will enjoy it!

The man Himself!

The reason of me choosing this picture in my introcudtion is it gives a clear picture of the president himself, so the audience get a clear image of who they are voting! I also created the background to be yellow which is similair to his shirt. This, to me drags attention for the eye , and makes it intresting . He has an arogant swagger within this picture which could be precieved as confidence. An d that is what we want within our president !

The reason of me choosing this picture is due to it being a good shot of my model. And it gives a full facial shot and half body shot . This is good as it fills my page up and the image creates it to be eye catching. Which means that it will draw the reader in. Therefore resulting in more money!

Introduction

In my college magazine I am intending to introduce how Dominic Thomas can be student president and what he can introduce to you. My target audience are the students of Lewes community college, and due to the target audience they know that the president will effect there student life. So it's important! I will use presentational devices to help draw the reader in such as the use of colour's and pictures.

I also wanted to give it a test review, therefore I asked three people in the class what they thought of it. The results were positive - All three said that it was bright and eye catching. And that they would most likely want to buy the magazine when it is on offer. This helps me feel confident on my Magazine. They also liked the main article, as it was about Lewes College student President, therefore it relating to the "students" within the College. So it appeals to my main target.
