Rough Draft/Developmental stage, Magazine

Above are my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Interview rough draft. I intend to use these as my final product, however I am yet to hear feedback on the three pages so I will definitely be improving them, for example, fonts and backgrounds could be altered.

Main Article (Draft)

For my main article i wrote an interview with a brief summary of the DJ at the beginning, I intend to put this on a double page spread in my magazine alongside a picture, if it needs improving, for example, spelling and grammar mistakes I will correct it.

Photos for article

Recently, i visited a nightclub where I was able to take pictures for my magazine front cover/article. I managed to get a good fourteen shots which could possibly be worth using, here is a taster of some of the photographs (Edited/Cropped on Photoshop)

Mood Board

This is my moodboard, i created this as the fonts, colours, photographs and layout are all ideas that i like and that i could possibly use or take inspiration from.
The vibrant colours are very eye catching and the photographs included are quite artistic and well composed, i intend to create a similar layout and possibly use a font like this.

Questionnaire Evaluation

After reading the results from the questionnaire it is clear to me that the audience are all quite interested in music and would be keen to see a magazine featuring different aspects of dance/electro genres of music on the shelves.
I have found that four out of five people already purchase magazines which focus on new music, this is a good indication as i know that my magazine possibly could do well.

Pete,well done on the evaluation and completing the prelim task. You now need to get on with producing your own magazine. Upload your mood board and sketches when complete and (if you haven't already) take all your photos this week. You need to get onto the page design and layout of your own mag now - only 4 weeks left!
