Change to double page spread

Here is my double page spread now with a change to the colour scheme. I have used red as the colour scheme now as I have realised that all magazines wont have the same colour scheme on every page. So because my front cover and contents has a black scheme to it, I have now changed my double page spread to red. The red also looks appealing and eye catching, and it also links to danger which is a part of the personality of rapper 'King Hale'

Final Contents Page Decision

Here is a picture of some members of my target audience looking at 3 different contents page drafts I made. They all agreed that they liked the one shown above the most and therefore I think I will be using that certain content page as my final one. They said that the contents page looked professional and they also really liked the idea of the collaboration between the two artists.

Album cover for front cover

Here is an album cover that I have created for a small section on my front cover. It is an album cover for the rapper Drake and I have called it 'Views from the 6' as that refers to the city of Toronto which is where Drake is from. I made the original image a black and white effect and applied a parental advisory sign and worshipping hands which is the symbol for Drake. The picture however is original as I took it.

Picture for album cover

Here is a simple photo I have took for a small section on my front cover. The photo is going to be used for an album cover. I can either say that the album is from an iconic rapper already out there or make up a whole new character around it. But as it is a small section on my front cover only, I will just use it as an iconic rappers album. I will post the album cover in an upcoming post.

Double Page Spread Final

Here is my double page spread I have created around the 'King Hale' character. I will ask my target audience about what they think and maybe do a focus group on it and if changes are needed I can make them. However this is what I have at the moment and I am happy with it. It includes the album cover I created, a track list, an interview with King Hale and a story about him.

Mid Shot Front Cover

I received some feedback from my target audience that I should try using a mid shot and crop the rest of my body out and use that as the main image instead. I have now tried this and have decided I don't really like it and I prefer using the long shot instead, so this is what I am going to do. I have showed my target audience and they have said to use the long shot as well.

Interview For Double Page Spread

Here is the interview I have made for my 'King Hale' character which will feature on my double page spread along with the article.
