Draft work:

This is the first version of my media product. As you can see the lures aren't currently following the house style in terms of 'typography'. This will be a feature that i will edit for the second version. To me the picture of the 'artist' doesn't convey the bands name. To create an iconic look that will reflect the band's name 'Lunar association' I need to edit the photo in photo manipulating software such as 'Photoshop'.

This is the second version of my media product. As you can see the lures have been edited so that they follow the house style.  As well as this I have included a pun on the main articles lure for 'Lunar Association'. This will allow for the audience to get a brief idea of what the article is about as well as attracting their attention. The main image has been edited to reflect on the bands name 'Lunar association' ( The use of smoke behind the artist and the artist being cast in shadow allows for an iconic relation to 'Lunar' activity'. This compared to a white backdrop on the previous version allows for the magazine to stand out more.


Contents page:

This is the first and final version of my contents page. The reason  I have chosen not to adapt and edit any of the features on the page is because I feel that the page from the result given perfectly or 'near' perfectly represents and conveys the codes and conventions of a music magazines contents page. Features such as the 'mini' review have been transferred from Contents pages such as 'NME' and 'Kerrang'. Such imagery for the band 'Lunar association' allows me to reflect on iconic aspects of the bands name. The model is cast in shadow and yet again smoke is positioned behind the artist forming the shape of a moon.


Double page spread:

This is the first version of the double page spread.  In this version the article isn't completely finished but this will be finished by the final version. Looking at the image positioned in the box I feel that it doesn't work well with the background of the main image. In the next version i will edit it to make it blend in with the main image on the page. To me the title follows a consistent house style throughout the magazine and works perfectly.

This is the second version of the double page spread. As you can see I have edited the image in the box to allow for it to blend in and match the background of the main image. I feel that this wasn't an effective choice. In the final version I am going to edit this image to help make the bands iconic feature stand out ( add smoke to reflect on 'Lunar' activity). I feel that the text nearest to the artist on the first page is too centralized. In the final version I will transfer  a conventional feature of existing media products, text wrap.
