This is my preliminary contents page, i have made it on fireworks and used all my own resources and skills to create it. the picture is of Nath Bromley from Biddulph high. i have used a range of effects and faded most of the images to make them all flow together. The master head, i chose from (www.dafont.com) there is loads of different fonts to choose from. I set the background colour gray because i think that it contrasts well with all of the other coloures on the page.

this is my preliminary front cover. I made it on fireworks and have used a range of different effects. I have faded the image in the background to make it look like it is all merged together, i think that it works well.
I have used fonts from DA font . com and used all me own images that i have took on a digital camera. The coloures that i have used contrast with the images well and all the fades.

This contents page of thrasher magazine is a bit different than the other ones on my blog, this one has one big picture that stands out and then lots of little pictures arranged in the order that they go in.
I think that the colours used are very simple because the colours used are that of he background in the photo, except from were the text is positioned, they have used a white background with black text and i think that it contrasts well
with the images

This contents page out of kerrang magazine hes quit a lot of text and pictures. The pictures used contrast and go well with the background used. the thing that you look at first, that draws your eye is the big picture in the middle.
then the highlighted text it makes you feel like you need to read it straight away.
I think that that way the whole page is laid out works very well, it kind of flows all together in a winding way.
All the pictures are at the the wright contrast and size for the page, I think that there is just the right amount of images on the page.

This front cover of NME magazine is laid out in such a way that the thing that you do first is look at jay-Zs sun glasses, the way that the light is reflected of them looks like it is his eyes. The second thing that you look at after the sun glasses is the other image of Ian brown who seems to be looking at jay-Z. How it is all laid out is like 1-2-3 it makes you look at one thing then a second thing then the third thing witch is the text in the middle, it is kind of like a zig zag.
The main colours used in the NME magazine that i have noticed are red and black this must be the colour coad for all the NME magazines

The thing that i like about this contents page is that there are two main images in the middle with all the text around them like a boarder or a frame, this makes the pictures stand out just that little bit more. The band index bit on the right hand side of the page is interesting and stands out because there is a red outline around it and i think that it links with the NME master head because that is red too, plus the main colours on the whole page are red and black.
I also think that the advertisement at the bottom is good because it has got big bold letters which stand out and pictures of the thing that they are advertising.

House Stile Of N M E Magazine

Check out this SlideShare Presentation:


This front cover of NME magazine looks to me that it is split into three, with three different pictures and two tears to separate the pictures. the master head is big and bold and always stands out. I think that it stands out so much because it reflects on how loud the music is. I think that the page is split into three because the person in the three sections has three different personalities.
also the big bold sub heading is bigger than the master head this tells you that it is an important subject, or an exiting one.
