Introduction

I created a front cover, contents page and double page spread for a music magazine targeted at people that are interested in the genre of Indie. There were many ways in which I improved my knowledge of the Indie Genre and what people would most likely want to see on a magazine. These ways include questionnaires, a mood board, textual analysis's and mind maps.
  I found all types of research helpful. The primary research helped me know what additional codes and conventions to add the magazine and what people in the age target audience would want to see, e.g. price wise, colours, models. The secondary research helped me the most (in my opinion) as it helped me gain a better knowledge of Indie itself and I found out more about the people, the lifestyle, colours and models. This is why I found by doing a mood board, I could create magazine pieces that related to the genre more.

Cover page

I chose this image to use as my main image for my cover page. I chose to use this image as I liked the clothing, pose, position and the overal look of the girl.

I enhanced the colours of the image to strengthen some parts of it.

I began making my logo by using a simple but bold font. The name of my magazine is 'Indie Unique' but I thought that it'd be more eye-catching and bold if I only used the letters IU. I put a thick black outline around the letters to make it stand out.

I put a blue box behind the letters to make the letters stand out. I chose a blue by using the colour grabber tool. I made it the same colour as one of the blues in which were in some of the clothing of the models shirt. I wanted to use a dark colour to make the white writing stand out.

I put the name underneath the letters to show what the magazine is actually called. I think the letters being bigger attracts more attention which is what I wanted. I put the star in the middle also to make it more individual. 

I added cover lines to the cover page.
