Current Product

The following images are what my current products look like, and what they have progressed to. I am happy with how they look now, apart from the contents page, as I am going to add images of a concert I am going to on 13/02/2015. A poster is shown to the right describing the concert (support has been recently announced as 'Walk The Moon'). These images will increase the believability and verisimilitude of my overall product as a rock magazine, as it features images of real rock bands/artists.

My Contents Page Draft

My contents page is very nearly finished, I am only going to add a few more images of 'All Time Low', 'You Me At Six' and 'Walk The Moon' when I go to their concerts this week. If these images are low quality, I hope to write a short article about 'Cisterc' to put fill the space instead, which I have planned, but is the second choice after the images I hope to take. This is what it currently looks like:

I am very happy with how it looks, as it has a very professional feel to it, and it looks as though it could be an actual contents page in a mainstream magazine.

My Double Page Spread Article

I have written an article about "The Stories Behind The Lyrics" for my double page spread in my music magazine. For this article, I have to think of original song titles and lyrics that reflect the rock genre. I am going for a "Fall Out Boy" theme, as their song titles are ridiculously long and make no sense, such as the following:

I have reflected this in my own song titles, such as "My Big Mac Came But It Didn't Have Gherkins".. which I explain how it is a metaphor for life. This article is not serious at all, but I feel as though this reflects rock, as it's a "fun" genre, and isn't meant to be taken very seriously.
