Student Contents Page (Rough)

Here is my draft student contents page although it's only a draft it highlights all the factors of a normal contents page and what I would be looking to include in my contents page the backround color and text resembles my front cover so certain themes can be seen throughout the magazine.

Music Magazine (analysis)

This magazine NME is one of the most recognisable music magazine out to date. They cover a wide range of music genres, they aren't like more unconventional music magazines that only focus on one genre of music, such as Kerrang. They cover a wide range of artists and bands so the target audience for this magazine is not specific but tailored to the needs of many different genres of music apart from the extremely unconventional such as Death Metal Rock for example.
The Conventions of this magazine include
The Title- The NME title is the same for every single magazine it is a running trate through all their magazines, however he way the name is displayed can change for special editions etc
Cover Lines-  Cover lines always relative to the issue and image on front cover the text size varies as dose the positioning .
Main Image- The main image on the front cover is usually a musician, singer or band member. The person displayed on the front will have a article inside the magazine. Eye contact with the reader is generic too, makes the reader feel like there looking at you.
Secondary Images- Displayed usually with a caption, they show key people or themes that are wrote about in this magazine.
Colors- NME magazines usually consist of Red, Yellow and Black colors. The title usually being red the  text yellow and borders black. However like the title, the colors can change for special editions etc.
Other- magazines such as this will use clever wording to draw the reader in also, for example "DAVE GROHL I'M NOT DEAD". This will make the reader more interested and want to read the article that the text on the front cover is talking about. Magazines such as this one also produce competitions allowing their readers to potentially win prizes another convention that attracts more readers. In my music magazine i will try to use all these conventions in my own style to produce a music magazine to the genre which I have chosen to use, which is basically the same genre as NME.

Student Magazine (Completed)

This is my finished magazine cover for a student magazine, it includes four cover lines a title a picture and a logo in the bottom left corner. The main colors used in this front cover were orange, purple and yellow this theme runs throughout my front cover so it does not look too busy with lots going on. The yellow glow around the text and picture were done in photo shop and so was the logo, this logo will be used in all of my pages for the magazine as a running theme. The magazine was finally put together using In Design.
