Here I’ve designed and sketched my initial ideas for my front, contents and double page spread of my music magazine. I’ve gone for a quite simplistic and minimalistic feel, as I think it’s more about the featured story rather than bombardment of confusing waffle.

 

Here is my audience feedback for these three sketches, interactively powered by Voki.

 

 

I’ve added some annotations to the front page of my magazine to show its effectiveness.

Here is the first production of my magazine.

Mock up layout of front page

September 26, 2011

I’ve designed what the front page of my magazine will look like. Here is a basic outline, or mock up, of what it will generally look like.

Seventeen magazine: the Selena Gomez issue

Here is another magazine cover which I have annotated to explain what point the editors of the magazine want to get across to the target audience and how they achieve this.

Harper’s Bazaar: the Lady Gaga issue

Here I annotated a front page of the magazine Harper’s Bazaar, featuring Lady Gaga. The text boxes around the image explain how the editors of Harper’s Bazaar informed readers.
