I think that this front cover looks okay, but i really 

don't like the look of the contents page that i have 

made, when making my final design for the contents 

page I don't want my final peice to look quite like
that. Im hoping to create a page that is like one of the
mock ups. so will have to take some pictures to match it.

more contents

This double page spread of Mumford and the Sons was 

created using the image that spread across both of the 

pages so that the image is clearly visible when you open the

magazine. Because the image is consisting of a lot of dark colour

they have put the header in a very bold font in white. This will

help the font stand out. On this double page spread there doesn't 

seem to be that much writing whereas on my double page i think

that i'm going to try and get a lot more information.

contento

This double page has the image of lilly allen that takes up 

most of one of the sides attracts the eye but then the there 

is the quote that has been wrote in full caps, but has smaller 

and larger letters this makes it stand out to the reader, who 

will then read this and want to read more. At the bottom 

of the page there is 4 columns of font, this is the 

interview. These columns look quite smart so I may 

choose to use this sort of look. For my double page 

i'm going to have the band on one page then the article on

the other then will have to create a header that will attract 

the reader as well.

something a bit different

Here I have found a few contents pages from the Magazine Esquire, these are fairly unique there are not many magazines that have designed there contents page to look like this. They have a element of blandness though but i think that it looks good, plain white background with a image displaying the main focus of the magazine.

article

Deciding on what to write for my article is quite difficult, and time consuming.

I've started to write my article where It will be an Interview where the reader

 will have a short introduction on the band. This will include how the band

 began, I choose to say that they were a band who met when they were younger,

 so they've been around each other for many years. But there is a twist to the band

 after things were going well un till bass player Brendan was faced with a drinking

 problem that could challenge the group. This could be a good question how did

you manage cope with such a good friend and colleague becoming addicted to

drinking. I'm just trying to think of some ideas for the article, most magazines for

 the introduction then having question answer after which is what I have choose

 to go for.
