Here i did drafts for what my music magazine may potentially look like. There are two front covers, of different layouts and with different mastheads so I could see what ones worked better, and their contents pages. I used Indie Magazines from my research for reference on designing these drafts so that they would look more appropriate, and it has helped me to decide on what masthead and layout I prefer.

masthead

here i did the chosen masthead font (Agency FB) and tried it out with colours that are normally associated with my chosen genre. I got the colour scheme ideas from magazines within the same genre, and just ones I thought were appropriate and would be more compatible for my target audience.

TEMPLATE IDEAS FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

among the template designs are three front covers, three contents pages, and three double page spreads. All of these ideas will help me to design my final magazine, as a layout is crucial for a magazine as it can either make the magazine look messy and unprofessional, or it can make it look neat and intriguing for the target audience.
