Colour Change on Double Page Spread

I changed the background colour of the double page spread because the shade of blue it was before I changed it was too vibrant for a double page spread. I didn't change the spread to a completely different colour but instead just made the blue more subdued. This lighter blue gives a more calmer feel to the spread instead of the bright, opposing blue it was.

Colour Change For Cover Page

I decided to change the colour of my contents page from black to a burgundy colour. I decided to change the colour because I thought that the black was too dark an opposing to be on the cover of a punk rock magazine. The new burgundy colour adds a different tone to the cover, and the blue and white text on the cover also work with the burgundy.

Advertisement for Contents Page

I created an advertisment to place at the bottom of my contents page. I did this because there are advertisements for the magazines inside the magazines themselves and they are primarily placed on the contents page. I placed yellow and white text on a black background so that the advertisement will stand out and be noticable to the reader.

First draft of double page spread

This is the first digital draft of the double page spread of my music magazine. I chose this font as it relates to already existing pop punk magazines. I decided to alternate the colours of the title text as I didn't think that black text would be visible for the reader. I chose this blue for the background colour as this colour is now a running theme throughout all of the pages. The bold areas of the text are to indicate to the reader where the questions are in the interview.

First Contents Page draft

I decided to make the background colour of my Contents page white because I thought that a black Cover and Contents page would be too dark for my chosen style of music and also because most pop punk magazines i.e Kerrang and NME have the cover page one colour and have typically have the contents page white with many boarded outlines overlaping it. I also think that the block of black colour and te white contrast well together and add a variety of tones to the pages.
