Final Magazine - Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread






I feel that my magazine was successful as I have all of the regular conventions of a magazine.
My magazine has the same colour scheme throughout, which also links to the article as there was a photo shoot based around being outside, with natural colours and themes.
I have a recognisable 'left third' so that when my magazine is on the shelves it can be noticed by the masthead especially.
The masthead stands out on the page, and is big. bold and clear. The contents page title also follows on and copies the style and positioning of the masthead.
My model is in the centre of the page and is maintaining direct address so that it feels more personal to the reader as it looks like she is looking directly at them.
The coverlines are framing the model, so that they do not distract attention away from the main focus.
My main headline is big and bold and is clearly linked to the model, showing the main article in the magazine.
I have the typical conventions such as a barcode, dateline, url and price on the front cover.
I have also included a chance to win ticked to see Melody live, which will encourage fans to buy the magazine.

I have kept the contents page as simple as possible but have continued the theme, and made it very clear and included a subscription as this is what you would expect to find on the contents page of a magazine.
I have included 3 pictures of artists included in the magazine to give insight into the features of the magazine, the main one being the main star and the cover model.

My double page spread is also kept fairly simple. It features a framed image of the artist which stands out with the thick black border. There are also two pictures included from the photoshoot.
