Front Cover

I made my background black and added my masthead which was grime time this was chosen as the most popular name for my grime magazine.

I changed the colour of my masthead to purple because this was chosen by my audience as one of the colours in my the most popular colour scheme. I then added my main image this image was taken to go with my main article it would be my biggest picture.

When I added my picture I realised it made the purple look bland  so I decided to try and place my image before my text this worked.

I then added my left third which was made up of three articles chosen by my audience, I also added the name of my main article underneath each heading I added a little information on what each article would consist of I also added a date, an issue number and a bar code these are part of the codes and conventions of magazines

I then changed the colour of my left third headings to the same as my masthead to keep the house style, I kept the main heading an slogan white and  added pictures to go with my sub-articles.

I made my masthead and lft third headings have a white outline and my slogan and main headline a purple outline.

Contents

The first thing I did was make my background purple. This was because purple was the colour of my issue and also a major part of my colour scheme.

I then put different colour boxes on to show the different sections of my con tents page

 

I then added my text and logo, the text was determined by my audience feedback I let them choose what articles were featured as this would make certain that they were targeted for my target audience

 I then added my pictures and more text, the extra text I added was a lure I said that the readers would get 50% off their next issue of grime time this way they would be more likely to buy it and also it would keep them intrigued to find what other offers are inside. The picture I used was to go with my main article this would be the biggest picture I use.

To finish my contents a added a few smaller pictures and resized the one I already had so it would fill the space

Double Page Contents

I used a black background on my double page spread and the same on my front cover this kept the house style so that it was easily identified as the same magazine

My picture and text were added 

My picture was added next I made the text to fit around the picture jus like in real magazines 

I then added my text the masthead was larger than any of  the information so that it would stand out it also had a white outline so that it would keep with the colour scheme and style of many of my titles, I also added quotes from the text to it in large so that they stood out.
