This presentation is my progress report for my media coursework of making a magazine cover, contents page, and double-page spread. I am doing a Rock magazine because this is my favourite genre of music to read about and research and listen to.

1. Progress report
By Cerys Mee

2. Ideas - Cover
●
Rock magazine.
●
Abstract font for master-head.
●
Buff texts with a wobbly effect with a colour that won’t contrast too
much with the main image.
●
The main photo – plain background, direct address, mid-shot,
clothes not completely different to background colour, dark/plain
colours, classic rock style clothes – simple, not all that revealing,
natural looking (for facial expression and position), make-up (if any) is
plain and simple, maybe just some dark eye-shadow.
●
Contact strips – Facebook, Twitter.

3. Ideas - Contents
●
Have a dark background with white text.
●
Have the cover page at the top right hand corner.
●
Have sub-headings for each section with page numbers with a
sentence explaining what’s in each section.
●
I will have another photo of the artist on this page but one that will
only cover half of the page and not too much of it.
●
I will include the details of the photographer for their credit. I will
include things like their Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

4. Ideas – Double Page Spread
●
I will have the artist with direct address and looking comfortable
●
The background is going to be the same as the cover photo
background because it will be the same photo shoot to give it a
good effect.
●
The quote will be abstract and quite large and it will slightly
overlap the artist's picture.
●
It will have the brief description of the artist underneath the quote.
Also there will be the photographer credit underneath the photo.
●
The text will be in a couple of columns depending on how much
there is to write.
