Here is my final contents page, I used a photo that I took at a live event and the same font as on my front cover so as to remain consistent.

How did you attract/address your audience?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

My magazine would be distributed by Team Rock or Bauer Media as they are responsible for the publishing of the main magazines I studied and analysed during my research these being MetalHanmmer and Kerrang. They may chose to publish my magazine in a similar style to Kerrang which would be to a younger audience as they ultimately have control at how and who it is distributed to. Also the TeamRock which produces predominantly guitar orientated magazines focusing solely on Guitars in america to and a more wide spread audience and so may be able to use that for mine to increase sales.

Magazine Double Page Spread Progression



I decided to edit the photo so that it looked like the model was controlling lightning again looking powerful, I also put a grey box which I made slightly transparent where I was planning to put my article
This is the double page spread image I have chosen. I wanted to get across the image of power and so showed him creating a ball of energy. I also edited out the background to make it cleaner.

However I didnt like the box and so edited it out and just out the article ontop of the image. I also added the article title using the same font and a quote from the article to catch the readers eye.
However I didnt like the lightning or the grass as it didnt go with my over all style. So I removed the grass and background completely and made the background white to match my front cover. I also then replaced the lightning with fire and had it curve around my article so that the text became an element of the image
I felt the white was too plain so added a white brick wall background and a concrete floor as well as a shadow to give the image depth.

I added a lighting effect to the model as it had a blueish tinge to show the warmth of light
