Double Page Spread for Twang

This is my double page spread, it has got a very cheesey title, with the name of the magazine inbedded into it. There is a small space for text, that is in the far left of the double page. The picture of the rock group is large, and it takes up approximately 1/3rd of the page, streached accross the bottom, grasping the reader's eyes and willing them to read about them in the text. I have also included a small space in the bottom right corner for advert use.

Contents page for Peng

This attempt at drawing a contents page went down better than the last, i think this suits a rock magazine better,

Contents page for Twang

After looking at exising contents pages i have recieved inspiration from their work. So after gaining all the information I can, from other magazines i have come up with a couple of examples of what i think looks good, mixed with what i think the readers of a rock magazine will look for in a contents page.

Front Cover for Peng

Again i have forgotten to add sub headdings to this magazine front cover. 'Peng' is an attractive front cover, but i have used the wrong image for the target audience I want to attract. This picture would look good perhaps on a pop magazine, but not a rock magaizne, it would attract the wrong target audience.

Front Cover for Twang

This magazine front cover, has been laid out fairly simply, with the front cover artists, 'The Louds' posing for the camera, rather than at a live performance. They are looking into the camera, which could simulate looking into the readers eyes. Although there are not many subheadings, i will include some eyecatching ones in my real front cover, i had forgotten to include some, before i scanned it in. I think 'Twang' is a better front cover then 'Peng' magazine, simpley because it looks more like a front cover off a rock magazine.
