Final Product - Front Cover

Final Product - Contents page

Final Product - Double page spread

These are all photos i may use in my final product. They also may be edited and cropped also there will be other photos that i will use.

Mock-Up3

This is the third mock-up i have designed i used a very dark background photo but did not cover any of the artist on the photo to keep the focus on him as he will be better well known than a magazine name therefore widening my target audience. I also used a bright coloured text font and glow to attract the readers eye and make the magazine cover stick out more than what other magazines designs would. This is not only to attract the audiences eye but also to make the text more easier to read. I have also used a small Freebie of music download to also attract and broaden out my target audience.

Mock-Up2

This is the second mock-up i have designed. This design has a different more dark colour scheme. Also the layout is different by cropping the photo but also keeping it in the centre and bringing it to the front of that page it makes the well know artist the centre of attention. This will attract the correct target audience because people that like this artist will be attracted to buy this magazine. Also i have used a give away of a competition to win a prize to attract peoples attention towards the magazine and also tempt them to buy it.

Mock-Up1

This is my first mock-up i have created to help me design my final product. From my mock-ups i will take different elements that i like and think look professional and add them to my final product. In this mock-up i used a basic photo of a well know celebrity R&B singer to attract the wright target audience. I also played with the colour scheme until i found one that i liked and thought went well with the background picture. The reason in which i am designing these mock-ups is to give me more experience so then when i come to designing my final product i should be better and more improved.

From my research and planning i have decided to name my magazine R&B RAW. I think that this magazine name is suitable because it is catchy and i can also use it in elements of my magazine such as information etc. Ways in which i could use it would be to have lines to attract my target audience such as: ''R&B RAW brings you the new upcoming RAW talent in R&B''.

These are all the current big names in R&B magazines. I will use different elements that i like from these magazines to help me make a better more proffesional final design. Once i have made the first part of my final design (front cover) i will keep the same theme and colour scheme through the contents and the double page spread. This will also give my final design a more proffesional look.
