First drafts of front cover and contents page

                        

                

 Evaluation

Using the questionnaire I conducted, with the results I began to produce my initial drafts for my music magazine. The masthead name I decided to use is Platinum, in each draft I have tried to manipulate it so that it stands out and is eye catching which was one of the results from my questionnaire. The images I have used on the drafts have been considered carefully such as in each image their facial expression displays anger and arrogance, I chose to do this as my research into hip hop and rap represented them to have a gangster and arrogant approach as they want to appear fearless. I considered my target audience by making the rappers in the drawings to appear as wearing chains, hoodies and caps therefore it could be easily identified this is a rap magazine. From my research one of the main things that I identified was creating emphasis on the main image and masthead. Therefore in all three drafts I ensured that the main focus is the image and the masthead. I will use the drafts to help me create my first digital version as well as using my analysis and questionnaire results. This is my contents page drafts, on each one I manipulate it by rotating the layout between the image and the masthead. This is because in my research from my target audience, I found that they wanted the most emphasis mainly placed on the image and masthead. Therefore on all three drafts I follow the conventions of real music magazine contents pages from my genre as well as considering my target audience. This would make sure my magazine is close as possible to a real rap magazine. This will allowe me to create my first digital drafts for my music magazine contents page.
