Double Page Spread Mock Up


Double Page Spread Photoshoot Plan


Table of Contents Draft With Commentary


This contents page has a different vibe to the front cover because of its differentiation in colour. I used the Hue and Saturation tool to colorize the canvas into a purple colour to contrast the colours of the magazine. Also, I have chosen a range of fonts from the Comic, Sci Fi, Graffiti and Curly sections on http://www.1001freefonts.com/ to embellish the contents page with something different. Also, I wanted the contents page to be clear and organised, with a neat eye flow so that it is not confusing for the reader to find the page. I have included the masthead again, just to continue the advertising of the name.

Front Cover Draft With Commentary and Mood Board





For my front cover, I chose Pierre as my model, for many reasons. Firstly, he studies Drama and Music Technology at AS level, so is familiar with the codes and conventions of the music world. Also, because he is a fan of Grime music, it fits in the set criteria for my magazine Fast Forward.




I chose a medium shot angle, with Pierre's head slightly tilted so that it gives off the laid-back and relaxed look that I want Pierre to have.
I chose to airbrush the background black, to focus all the attention on the artist/model. Also, I have chosen an LCD font called "Digital Dream" for my masthead, to emphasise the title's meaning and the way it is always seen on the stereo.



I have included a specific type of mode of address for my target audience, boys and girls aged 16-29, using kickers such as " Win Kid Cudi Tickets" which is inclusive to all Grime music fans.

Front Cover Photo Shoot Plan, Mock Up, Masthead Research







My masthead research was quick and easy due to the number of people that wanted the famous and well known DS-Digital font that stereos and radios use to indicate the sign "Fast Forward". The LCD theme was popular amongst the young people opposed to Fashion Victim, which probably would have not suited the style of this magazine.
