Decisions of what to put in my contents page, Double spread page and front cover page

Today I am going to think about what I need in to be in my magazine as in the contents.

Front cover
On my front cover I have to take a picture someone who is suitable for the music genre because I am doing a heavy metal rock magazine so I will need someone who dresses in the same way and looks similar like a rock artists.
The person that will be on my front cover will have to dress in a leather jacket and will have long or short hair and they might hold a symbolic symbol for example: a guitar or bass guitar or maybe the person make a rock symbol to show that they like heavy metal.
The costume should be a leather coat jacket or a trench coat and they should have sunglasses on maybe.
The facial expression of the person should be them with there tongue sticking out or have a serious face or maybe with their mouth open as like they are shouting perhaps.

The masthead should be at the top so the audience can see it also they will know the name of it when its on the top also in my research I found out that, magazines don't put their mastheads at the bottom or middle of the magazine it's usually at the top.
I will put lots of contents and teasers at the front of the magazine because this will attract younger audiences too also it promotes the magazine too.

Content Page
In my contents page I am going to mention about a music chart up-date because everyone wants to know about rock musics.

Also I should mention articles about bands/artists also have pictures of the artists or the bands that might be on my magazine so the audiences knows who the magazine is going to talk about.
 Pictures then the text next to it and it will be a picture of who the contents page is talking about.

In my content I am going to mention a about the reviews and articles that are going to happen on the double spread page.
Then on the right box on the right side of the page will be text that talks about who made the magazine.


Double page spread 
In my double  page spread I am going to put Promotions of Up-coming events(Concerts and Festivals) because from my research majority of the respondents say that this is important feature to them also I am going to put Articles about Artists/bands.

On one page of my double spread page I am going to put pictures that I am going to take and put them on my double spread page so the text will be above then a picture below of a concert or a festival that will soon come and that will part of the other picture as well.

Then on the other double page spread I am going to have articles about a band/artists because it from my research majority of the respondents say that they "always" see articles about a bands/artists so that's what I am going to put also next the text there will be pictures of the band/artists that the article is talking about so the audience will know who they are also the festivals is the band/artists that the article is about.

Also they will be a music chart update on this page too, I think this is important to have in my magazine because it helps to audience to know what band and music is at the top and that is very popular and what is not also it gets the audience to know more about heavy metal/rock bands and songs that they haven't heard of and this will be set on the bottom page
Black and white images of the bands/artists maybe.

My magazine layout final

My music magazine layout final draft

Front cover
This first image is what my front cover is going to be.

The masthead is going to be over the main image not behind as all the heavy metal/rock magazines have.

In my magazine there.

As you can see here, the main image will take most of the space on the front cover so the band or a artists will be on a front cover and then and the boxes that are on the sides are teasers to promote the magazine to get the audience to want to buy the magazine I don't know yet what the teasers will be but it will be good though.
There are lot of teasers and contents on the front cover because in my research I saw this with kerrang and I am doing the same type of music as kerrang heavy rock.
Also there is a coverline will be at bottom of the page.







Content page
The second image is what my contents page is going to be.

The headline is a the top of the page and then on the right side of the page its going to be picture of whats on a certain page, and on the left side there are two boxes with has crossheads to make it easier for the audience to read and then a the bottom there is another crosshead.


.













Double spreadpage

The third image is what my double spread is going to be.This is the left page of my double spread page, on this page there is
6 boxes, 6 boxes are text.

The box on the top is article about band/artist and the box next to it is going to be pictures of the band/artist so the audience will know who the article is talking about.

Then below is a another article about a new album that the band/artist has released and other facts maybe about the album then on the box next to it, is the history of the band/artist so the audience can know more about how the band/artist became what they are today.

This the right page of my double spread page, on this page the top part will be a image that will be informing the audience about a new band/artists.

Then the box at the bottom is music chart so the audience can know who what is the newest popular music that month also it aloud them to know more bands and other artists that they never heard of.

Magazine name, logo and housestyle

Magazine

Magazine name

My magazine name will be now called fullmetal because it states what the magazine is going to be about also it goes with my music genre as I stated before also it makes more sense also it "full" and "metal" together and this makes sense because my music genre is heavy metal/rock and fullmetal could mean to the audience a pure heavy metal type of music.The dark red colour is what the audience will associated a heavy metal magazine to have on it.

This is what the masthead will look like on the magazine or I might change the colour to silver.

Logo of magazine

I think the logo should be this because its a ball that looks metal and it has a red centre and at the sides it silver also the pattern in the circle makes it look a like a rock that is metal, the problem with this logo is that rocks are not perfectly around like a ball.

The logo is a ball that shows it completed because for something to be full it has to be at its limit also inside the ball it’s full of metal and I show this though the design of the ball and the design shows its metal that is full in a ball also the colour is gradually becoming red inside the ball and this links with the colour of the title because the title is also is red.

I have created my logo by using Photoshop, Photoshop allowed me to find the right colour and shading for logo that I couldn't use on Microsoft word or PowerPoint.

House style
The colour scheme that I am going use it black, silver/white and red so the text that the magazine is going to be in will be in white/silver or black or red depending on the background of the page and the font size is going to be 20-30 depending on what happening on the page this is for the normal size font but for headlines it is going to be 40-50 depending on how its going to fit the page the way I want it to.

The type of the language I am going to use is formal and informal at some parts of the magazine and font style is going to be "Franklin Gothic Heavy" because that font will suit my music magazine.

I choose the font style to be franklin gothic heavy because it’s a darker colour of the font colour black also it makes the text easier for the audience to read also the font style is similar like the font being set on bold when it’s not and this makes the audience think that the text must be important if it looks like it’s in bold because when text is in bold it must mean that it is important to read and that it should stand out and this is why I chose it.

Deciding on the name of the magazine

I have to come up with a name for my music magazine

HARD: I think I might call it hard because its a heavy rock/metal type of music magazine and that name kind of suits the heavy rock/metal genre.

When its manufacture I ideally want the title to be embossed to represent the name of the magazine – hard. The connatation of this is solid, metal like material, bold, unbreakable and this is the advantages of using hard as the title of my magazine.

This what the masthead looks

The word hard stands out and the way of the logo presents hardness and it goes with the type of music genre because the sounds are loud and heavy metal/rock music is hard because metal and rocks are hard so it makes sense for the name hard.

The disadvantage of using the word hard for my magazine name is that its too common or basic that it wouldn't really attract people

HETAL: A name I made up is Hetal because heavy rock and metal it's technically the same thing its the first letter of heavy and its "etal" in Metal.
Hetal is a made up word and people might to attract to this because its different and unusual and when they look or read the magazine and they found out its a heavy metal/rock music magazine they get the idea of why its called hetal also that is the advantages of using hetal for a title for my music magazine.
The disadvantages of using hetal as a title for my music magazine is that some people might get confused and think its an odd name and this could make them not want to read the magazine, they will be judging a book by its cover and if they don't like it they won't read it.

This is what the masthead looks like below and it has a red outline and the colour of the "hetal is grey and  black as you can see the bottom of the word is black and the top bit of the words is a kindof grey colour. this is what I have so far it's an basic idea of what the logo would look like for hetal.

GRIND: The name "grind" goes with heavy metal/rock names because grind is a loud and this type of music is loud also the this logo looks like suitable for the cover of the magazine

This what I have so far with this masthead.

Grind is a onomatapia for the sound that metal makes and in this case metal is associated with heavy rock/metal it makes sense to call it "grind".

FULLMETAL: The name "fullmetal" goes with my music genre heavy metal/rock because its stating that the magazine is fully because of the word full.
This is what I have so far with this masthead.

I will call my magazine full metal because it makes sense and it links with my music genre because my music genre is heavy metal and the name full metal will make sense because for something to be full means it at its point also it means that the song is full and completed.

I think I will go with the name fullmetal because its states what the magazine is going to be about also it goes with my music genre as I stated before also it makes more sense than the other names I put for my music magazine.

Second draft questionnaire responds from respondents

The questionnaire helps me now to know what to do for my music magazine, in my music magazine I am going to use the colour red as my colour scheme of the magazine and this is going to affect the house style of the magazine and its a draw of what rock genre I should do so I think I am going with heavy rock because I know heavy rock (metal) type of music more than the others, in the my music magazine I could put the Promotes of upcoming events because its the most important feature for people to see and what they are expect to see is Band/Artists reviews so I will have this also in my music magazine also what the people "always" in a rock genre magazine is Articles about Artists/Bands and what attracts people within the front cover of a magazine is an Artists/bands.
