♫ Music Magazine Double Page Spread: Ideas

My ideas for the Music magazine double page spread is that, the first side of the page I will write an article about a Bhangra Dhol band It will be an article that will almost tell a story about how their careers started and information about them. Also I will upload a photo of the band onto it too, that will show who they are. On the second side of the page I will make an interview article about a Bhangra singer/song writer. It will not be a long interview as I recorded from my survey that, they did not want to see a lot of information on the double page spread, which might bore them out from reading it, so it will be short and not long, so the reader will want to read it. I will also upload a photo of the person that being interviewed too.

♫ Masthead Design

This is the Masthead for the front cover of my music magazine. I created this by using Adobe Photoshop. From my survey I concluded that my theme for my magazine was Bhangra, so I decided to make that the name of my magazine. The color of the masthead is orange, this is because my survey showed that orange was the most popular color and is the representation of the Bhangra music. The logo on the side of the masthead is a person dancing in a Bhangra style, which I thought went really well with the writing as they both relate to each other, as the character is doing a Bhangra dance. Orange is also a very highly popular colour in the Indian culture, which is why I decided to make the title cover orange.
