Final Versions:

Front cover:

This is the final version of my front cover. Compared to the draft versions It has moved on drastically in terms of 'layout' and 'different' but more conventional elements to help convey a realistic media product. The text on the page follows a consistent font style allowing for consistency in 'house style'. The title of the magazine is large allowing for the audience to be attracted more easily. As well as this I decided to have the models head and guitar cover a slight partion of the title. This was a conventional feature that I have transfered. To make sure that I hadn't included pictures that were obtained from the web I changed the corner image to a picture that I have taken interdependently. This feature states that the magazine will have a poster of the band 'Lunar association'. This is another conventional feature that I have transferred from existing products. In the bottom right corner of the page I have included a 'turned' up page. This feature is a convention that I have developed from existing media products, It allows for the audience to get a 'slight' glimpse at the contents of the magazine acting as a lure.




Contents Page:

This is the final version of my contents page. Compared to the draft versions It has moved on drastically in terms of 'layout' and 'different' but more conventional elements to help convey a realistic media product. This was the first and final version of my contents page so no changes have been made to it as personally I felt it portrayed a near resemblance to an existing music magazines contents page. I haven't stated the words 'Contents' in bold letters, or in a large font for a particular reason even though the stating of 'contents' is a typical convention of a contents page. The purpose of stating 'contents' in a smaller text is because i felt that the purpose is conveyed instantly through the use of a 'catchy' pun 'B.E.a.T This week'. The readers eyes will scan from 'B.E.a.T' to 'week' and then the actual content of articles will be instantly cast upon. The feature of using a subscribe box is a conventional element that I have transferred from existing media products. This feature includes a brief article on 'why the audience should subscribe' as well as an overview of the front cover.




Double page spread:

This is the final version of my double page spread. Compared to the draft versions It has moved on drastically in terms of 'layout' and 'different' but more conventional elements to help convey a realistic media product. Changes in the smaller 'boxed' image really help to make it 'stand out' as well as representing the iconic bands name. Such conventional features as 'text wrap' have been applied, this allows for text to flow smoothly and seamlessly on the left page. This feature has been transferred as a typical convention of a magazines 'double page spread' and 'articles'.
