DRAFT ARTICLE

Here I have put together the interview for my draft article on my double page spread. I decided to do a question and answer interview as I related it to other magazines I have researched such as Q and Kerrang. For my final magazine I may add more text and change certain bits because I may even change the artist who I am interviewing.

Artist Profile...

Here I have put together my artist profile for my draft magazine. I will use this artist for my double page spread although for my final magazine, if I decide to change my artist, I may consider creating another artist profile. This is just basic information on my artist but the interview will include more detailed information on her.

Institution Profile/Research...

Institution profile

For this section I have researched one of my main influences, Kerrang magazine. I have found out key information which has helped me understand how selling a magazine works.

For this section I found that there are different ways of positioning the images on the magazine. Experimenting with composition improves the quality of the magazine. This link explains each technique and which sections are the main focussing point of the image.

Double Page Spread Mock Up...

Here is just a quick mock up of my double page spread. I may make some changes whilst in the process of making my draft but this is just to help me get an idea of where to locate the key features on both pages.

Contents Page Mock Up...

Here I have done the same and created a rough layout for my contents page. I am going to use this as a template for making my draft but I will make changes if improvements need to be made.

Front Cover Mock Up...

Now that I have produced most of my research, I have to develop ideas about creating my own magazine. I have put together a mockup of all of my pages to use as a rough template whilst making my draft magazine. This is the front cover mockup and I will refer to this when I am producing the page.
