Contrasting colours for the logo, this makes it stand out a lot more and makes it much more eye-catching.

This basically just shows any news at a glance.

This is placed across the centre to catch peoples attention. Also, it is in a large yellow font to stand out.

4 - Quick news.

6 - Main Front Image.

This has been thought out, and has allowed space above, to the left and below for any text.

This provides you with a lot of information in just a glance.

Overall, I think this is a very effective front cover.

Naming my magazine

I have been researching throughout the indie genre magazines and have came up with a few names.

The name I have came up with is RockWorld.

Audience

The audience I am aiming at is between the ages of 14-30. Also the audience I am aiming at is mostly male because of the sort of magazine I am making.

I am using these ages and this gender because it is the appropriate ages and this gender for the magazine I am producing.

Double page spread layout ideas

The layout ideas for my magazine are also the genre of indie, an idea for the layout is shown above. I am using these ideas because of the text arrangement and the uses of colour and I want my double page spread to look something like these have turned out.

Another idea is a Q magazine sort of layout such as this one.

Contents Ideas for my magazine

The types of contents I am going to be using are contents in magazines such as Q and Kerrang and other contents in this genre for Ideas and analysis.

These contents pages are what I want my contents page to look like in the way of pictures surrounding the text. This helps the reader to know what the text is about by showing pictures of what is in magazine.
