Contents update


This is my newly designed contents page which I have created to go into my magazine. I have updated the main image on the contents page so it isn't the same as the person on the front of the magazine. I like this photo at it fits well into my magazine and I really like the layout to my contents page.

I have now stretched the text downwards so its longer in length and matches the text on the front cover of my magazine. I have changed the text next to the page number to match the name of my magazine. Using another image on my contents shows that my magazine isn't all about one band in particular and also speaks about other bands which all music magazines do.

weekly plan

This week I am going to add improvements onto my final designs and also I am going to update my blog to make sure I have everything on my blog up to date

contents and double page spread updated



Sirens logo

Because all rock bands have a unique text to their band name I have decided to create a unique logo to my band name using the "bombing" font which I have downloaded and sued throughout my magazine. I have decided to change the main S letter so it has been flipped horizontally and is bigger than the rest of the text making the S stand out fully I have created this text because all rock bands have a unique style of text to their band name.

Cover update


I have received feedback on my designs and I have decided to change a few parts to my front cover. Firstly I have changed the name of magazine as other rock magazines use a longer magazine name I have decided to go for a longer magazine name of "megadeath" rather than "venom" which is too short. Also I like the longer title as you don't have to stretch the text for it to fit the whole width of the magazine.

I have also made my masthead a lot longer in length because on traditional rock magazines the masthead is usually quite thick in length so I have decided to go for that choice of masthead.

I have decided to use another text for the name of my band "The Sirens" which looks a lot better as most rock bands have a unique type of text for their name and I think the font I have used is very unique and looks like the font that a rock band would use.
