On my front page i used the simplicity of alternative music and the featured artist to create the simple look of the magazine, i did this by using 3 main colours that all worked well with each other they were black, white and grey which also made my featured artist stand out on the front page of the magazine and linked in with the clothing that my artist was wearing which was a white top and she has dark brown hair with orange highlights at the bottom that linked in with the alternative genre.
On the contents page i have continued the colour scheme and fonts so that there is some constancy through the the magazine but kept the contents simple so that the genre is still there throughout the magazine. The layout of the contents page was taken from a similar alternative magazine 'spin' because they made their contents page look good with how it was laid out and how the genre fitted the layout also.
On the double page spread i have tried to attract the audience by focusing more on the featured artist as a person and giving lots of information about her i have also used the same colour schemes but changed the font so that the audience has a change through the magazine and doesn't get bored of the same font and layout. Where i have started the tex from the bottom left will give the audience more verity instead of looking left to right they will be ale to jump around the page which will also stop them from getting bored.
what about the feeling of belonging to something that reading a magazine can engender. the reader identifies with certain aspects of the mag.
