Today i continued my music magazine and managed to complete the double page spread. The contents page still needs some adjustments to get it up to scratch to a standard of a real music magazine. i continued to add all the pages to one document and will start working on issuu.com to make the magazine stand out and look like a virtual magazine.

Today i started to analyse contents pages of different magazines such as NME, Kerrang and Rock Sound. This was a task given to illustrate how magazine companies keep their readers occupied throughout the magazine. There are many elements of a magazine contents page which attract customers. For example a colour scheme to fit in with the masthead, or pictures that are relavent to the music genre.

Today i started producing the analysis of cover pages of the NME magazine. We were asked to talk about the main features of the pages and decode what things attract readers. I picked covers of NME which included bands which i particularly like. I found it difficult to find ways of explaining what was going on in the covers.
