Final Contents Page

Final Double Page Spread

Mock Up - Contents Page Editted

After changing my mock up of my contents page I decided to place my real images that I would use into my contents page, however once I did this I referred back to my original research and planning and found out that out of all of the magazines I had looked at not one of them used a whole page image for the contents page, so for my final production I will be changing this to two images that are spread across the page.

Focus Group- Choosing Bokeh

After editing my image I wanted to go away to my focus group in order to make sure that I was making the right decisions about what my front cover for my production would look like, so I asked my focus group, what type of bokeh(Glowing Dots) do you prefer? Small/Large

After receiving my results back from 10 of my focus group I had gained the results that 7 out of 10 people had preferred the large bokeh instead of the small bokeh and therefore I will be using this final image in the Production.

Deciding Images For Final Documents

Below I have shortlisted Images that I may use for my pages,the way I have shortlisted these are by asking myself-

Are they suitable for the magazine?
Are they taken correctly and are not blurry or over exposed,without having a reason for doing so?
Will they fit nicely on my page around my mock up design?
Do they abide by direct mode of address when they need to be?

Focus Group- Artist Titles

For my magazine I will need a vareity of different Indie Artists to go on the front page, on the contents page and to be the name of my model on the double page spread, so I went away and researched on the Internet the Top 50 Indie Acoustic Artists of all time so I can get a rough idea on the sorts of names of artists and bands that are out there at the moment so I can use them and also make up some new ones with the help of my focus group. From the original list of 50 artists/bands these are the ones that have been selected by my focus group.

Mock Up-Contents Page Editted

A while ago when I was reviewing my mock up of my contents page I had decided to re-do the mock up as it did not match the rest of the mock ups I had created and did not look as good as I think I could create with my current understanding of photoshop, for this reason I have completly re-designed the contents page, incorporating the use of circles that are also featured on the double page spread and making it look less 'Blocky' and more like the other two pages created.
