Planning Production

For my front cover I will try to re-create an image similar to this, however I will be using a model with blonde hair. I have decided to try and re-create this image as my music magazine is of the same genre of music as NME. Like this image, I will also use direct mode of address for my front cover.

 For my contents page I will need another image of the model I use on the front cover, I will also use a large image of the band/artist I am interviewing for my double page spread. To represent the feature about Ellie Gouldings album I will use an image of her signed drumstick (owned by one of my friends).

 

The coverlines I will use on my magazine front cover:
- BOYCE AVENUE HIT THE UK!
- LEAH KENT, A RISING STAR?
- ON TOUR, WITH FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
- 100 BEST MUSIC MOMENTS
- ELIZA'S MUSICAL ADDICTION
- A WEEKEND WITH THE STARS, T4 STARS OF 2010 HIGHLIGHTS
- PLUS BRUNO MARS, KINGS OF LEON, LADY GAGA
- ELLIE GOULDING, THE ALBUM TRACK BY TRACK
- FREE CD


The text I will use on my contents page:

10 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE KINGS OF LEON
22 ARCTIC MONKEYS: COULD THIS BE THEIR LAST ALBUM?

To represent the article about Eliza Doolittle I will try to use an image similar to this image used on her album cover.

The feature for my double page spread is going to be an interview with Boyce Avenue- an American band currently touring the UK. I will need to take a full length image for the double page spread and an image for the contents page.

I may also use an image similar to this on my contents page to represent an article called 'The Girl With The Poker Face: Lady GaGa Exclusive'.
