In order to produce a good double page spread for my music magazine I have completed a layout of it. This helps me to indicate where the sections are of what features etc. There are annotations below of my double page spread for my music magazine and the layout presentation of it:

I have made a layout of my contents page to indicate what sections of the contents are featured on it. It is a quick and easy way to know where to place my features and acknowledge what the conventions are in order to produce a good music magazine contents page. I have found this useful as it is annotated and has boxes over the features. Below shows my contents page and the layout of it:

I have decided to create a layout for my contents page in which I could use as a guide for my own. I could make minor or vast adjustments to my own layout of the contents page for my music magazine which I present later on. I have took an existing music magazine of ‘Q’ magazine.

This is the layout of the ‘Q’ magazine with annotations of what each section is.

 

I have saved a double-page spread image from one of MOJO’s magazine as part of our task. This would then help us to decide how we would want our desired layout to look like. We have labelled and drawn boxes around the conventions of what’s included in the layout in a typical music magazine i.e the main image and pull quotes.

This is a constructed file where I have drawn in the boxes around what the features are with labelled annotations so I know what to look for and include into my own music magazine double page spread.
