4th december

I continued making my magazine front cover. I have part of my contents page completed now.

1st december

I have decided to use a selection of three fonts-

• Old Sans Black, from 'dafont.com'


• Courier


• and Tahoma.

13th november

I am going to start planning my magazine. I am using the magazine NME as a model which i'll take inspiration from, therefore my magazine is going to be an indie magazine. I am going to use the colour scheme of black, white, and orange. I am using orange, because it neither a feminine or masculine colour, therefore the magazine should be more sppealing to both men and women, and it will stand out. I will use fonts which is easy to read, and clear, and will use a maximum of three different fonts. A bold, hard font and a more curvey, relaxed one. I will use boxes and lines to emphasise any photographs on the front or words I want to stand out. I am using the band my boyfriend is in called "Losing Sight" -a hardcore band. They will feature on the front of the magazine and on the double page spread.

12th november

I continued analysing the double page spread, but moved onto the second page.

• The text is set out in columns.
• There are three images on this page, they all relate to the topic of the double page spread, because they are pictures of the band Oasis, and that is who the article is about.
• The clothes that the band are wearing, are the clothes "indie" bands wear, therefore it links to the genre of the magazine because NME is an indie magazine.
• The band look like a band in their photosgraphs, because the largest photograph on this page, shows the band playing a gig- therefore the band have guitars and speakers on stage with them.
• The colours used on the page are white, grey and brown. The use of brown makes the magazine more masculine, as women prefer brighter, lively colours in comparison to brown.
• The fonts used on this page are easy to read.
• A larger font has been used in the middle of the page "There is a new generation..." and the font type is different, to make it stand out more.
