Double page spread production

 

Note, this was my photoshop design of the double page spread, my Quark version was similar but had three colums rather than two, I am unable to post the Quark one as I did not screenshot during production of it.

Plans for my college magazine front cover

Magazine name

My college magazine is going to be called "The CAN'TEEN'"

Mis-en-scene of my front cover

The mis-en-scene of my front cover will be the LRC in the college. I have chosen this as it is a familiar location in the college and therefore people will be able to relate to my magazine and will be more likely to carry on reading the magazine.

Planning production

 

The front cover image will be a four piece band stood against a brick wall, the band will be dressed all similar and will look serious in order to make the photo seem more professional. The coverlines for my cover will be

• Arctic Monkeys: we're already working on our new album
• Kodaline are splitting?
• A day in the life of tyler the creator
• Beyond Belief: we're ready to take on the world
• Win tickets to see the 1975
• We discuss the most overrated and underrated bands in history

My contents page will have different sections, in music news, festival news and reviews, my music news will be:

• Arctic Monkeys: our next album is different to anything we've ever done!
• The Rolling Stones: our final tour before we call it a day!
• All Time Low: we're so excited to come to the UK!
• Sly Digs: exclusive interview with the biggest rising band in the UK!

The festival news will be:

• We discuss who the final acts for Leeds could be!
• We decide which the best festivals are this summer!
• Win tickets to go to tomorrowland!

The reviews will be:

• We review Crystal Fighters' new smash album: Rave Cave!
• Warpaint: we review their brilliant new self entitled album!

I will need a close up of one artist and a band for my contents page, I have decided to use the same band twice to cement a familiarity.

The article I am going to write for my double page spread will be a question and answer with a band about their music and opinions on the industry.
