Composition and Layout

The fourth and final task, I was thinking up ideas about what the page layouts of the magazine would be. I did some sketches first of different layouts that I could possibly do and then transferred them digitally.

I used the collages from the previous task to show where the pictures would go and just played around with background colours. I didn't want the page to look too garish but I didn't want it to be too dark. I still wanted some black in there because that's the colour that stereotypically associated with rock music.

I played around with different font sizes and also played around with where the text would go. I didn't want it to be in a big bock, so I made it fit round the images. When I'm developing these ideas in the future, I will start to incorporate my articles in so it looks more professional.
