Flatplan...

 Music magazine cover: For my magazine cover I was inspired by NME music magazines. I'm planning on taking the main image in black and white. The places where there are boxes is where I am going to write the text on the cover. I plan on writing the texts in red and yellow as my colour scheme is yellow, red, white and black.

 Contents page: For my contents page, I was once again inspired by the layout of NME music magazines. Once again, the colours are going to be yellow, black, red and white as this is the colour scheme of my cover. I also want to include an image on the page and on the bottom have the start of the article as I want the reader to be intrigued to turn to that page and read the full article.

Double-page spread: For my double page spread, I want to have one main image on the right of the artist. I couldn't draw the pose that I was going for, but I want the artist to be looking at the text on the left so that the reader feel like the artist is telling the reader to look to the left as if something is there. The text that I have included on the double-page spread is not what will actually be on my double-page spread; I just wanted to show what the text would look like.

FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE: 

• Sophia: I think that what worked well was the colour scheme as the black and white at the front really make the yellow and red stand out. 
• Maneet: Good use of red on white and yellow on white but what concerns me is the clash of two competing colours. I cannot understand which colour is more iconic. 
• Sana: A good use of colours, they stand out. the layout is clear, I also liked the font used on the double page spread. Improvement- use bleed to make it more creative. 
• Marwa: Clear layout on all of the pages, and clear colour scheme of white, black, yellow and red. I especially liked the contents page as i can see that you have thought thoroughly of what text will go where. 
• Jhineil: I liked the colour scheme, it is bright and fun. The contents page has a lot on it so maybe less would be better. The double page spread is laid out nicely, it has a nice balance of images and text. The colour is nice, not too much on it so you can appreciate the artist on the cover. 
• Lois: The double page spread stood out for me the most because I liked the wording. Good use of colours. The only thing I would change is the contents page because I don't like the layout. 
• Paula: The title is a nice choice and I can straight away tell it has a 'Q' kind of feel. I like how you have filled out all the space without blocking the main image. The contents page links to your front cover. All colours have been used. I like the quote and where it is positioned. 

I have read the feedback that some students have given me and have taken them into account. The only issue that I have is that a few people dislike my contents page as it is quite busy, but when you look at an Indie music magazine the contents are generally quite busy.
