LO1, Task 2: Sample materials (Masthead designs/ visualization materials)

 

Theses are my visualisation materials  for my music magazine. 

This is my front cover for my magazine I have you a lager title font across the top of the page in a traditional style of font. I used this to Make sure that my magazine can be noticed on a coffee table or on a shelf. I will use a a photo from a music event, this makes it clear what the magazine is about and it genre. I also added the brands name and logo to the bottom of the cover this always.  there are two puffs on each side of the photo that will draw the reader in a to to pick the magazine up and read it, and by there being titles from the inside been on the front cover it will intrigue people who might pick it up. I will also use bright eye catching colours to hope that it will stand out from other magazines of the shelf. I will added an issue number to the the side of the front cover so people are able to know which issue they are reading. I will incorporate it  this the ticket sub that will be a running theme though all issues of the magazine. I have chosen this as a piece of iconography from the music seance as manly poeple save their tickets. The ticket on the front of the magazine ill serve the purpose of a puff, a barcode and the issue number. 

For the design of the contents page I have chosen to use a photograph of the sign where the front cover was taken. I did this so that there is a connection between the two pages. I have then over laid the picture this what the contents of the magazine will be, I have added a large heading to the top of the page asking a rhetorical question to engage the reader and have added the magazine name into the question to show why the magazine is called in the know. Then under the heading I have listed the contents each page. I am going to use a traditional serif to contradict the colonial and informal language that I will use through out the the magazine, I will give the magazine a layer back and casual vibe to reflect the genre of the magazine as music, gigs and consets do not need to be a serious thing. I will use black for the main text but for the page numbers and the heading in use a deep red colour that is similar but the not the same (so you are still able to read the text) as the one that appears in the Sydney and Matilda sign. 

This is the design for my double page spread, down the lefthand side of the page there is a time table of acts/events/club nights for the Leadmill. I will use class typewriter style font that has been used through out my magazine for the heading and a less stylised font for the dates and names for that its easier to read. Across the top of the page will be that main titles for the page that will provide an over view for the page I what to use a different font for with that isn't present anywhere else in the magazine to allow it to stand out and use a toned down colour to make sure that it won't take over the page. Below That will be the heading for my article this will be in the same font as all other headings to continue house styles. The main article will be in two colums to fit in with conventions. Down the left side of my page will be cut out of each band member and there logo so the reader knows who the articles is talking about.
