For my contents page i kept my colour scheme but i used something out of the NME contents page which was the sub headings down the right hand side which shows whats in the magazine.

for my front cover i used red,black,yellow for my main colour scheme. The NME front cover i researched earlier in the project used the same kind of colour scheme but they used gold instead of yellow. Think these colours fit in well with this genre music.

one of the things i liked about this double page spread was the big picture on one side which i put into my magazine but i didn't make the picture the whole size on my double page spread. I also kept my black colour scheme which i think is the right colour for a indie magazine.

I think my magazine is very like some other the other magazines on sale today. My colour scheme i think fits the genre i am doing and all the magazines that you can buy on this genre have the same kind of colour schemes. Also i think my images on my magazine show how the magazine is aimed at a certain social group. The band are wearing the kind of clothes that would be worn by someone who like indie music. I also think the darker colours used also show how the magazine is mainly aimed at the indie music genre.
The audience i choose for my media project where aged 15-26 mainly aimed at men. I covered this information in blog 2

i think i appealed to my target audience by my images of the band i used with the clothes they where wearing. Also this band being in the age group of the target audience i think it helps for people this age to get connected with the magazine.
i also think my font for my mast head is very appealing to the target audience because of its rock theme to it.
I think most new agents would stock my magazine including places like tesco, asda, waitrose and specialist record shop that specialise in indie music.
I learnt a lot from photoshop and i think it helped me to make my magazine what it. The thing it helped me the most was to change the photos to the right colours i wanted and to add effects that i couldn't of done without photoshop. Indesign helped me a lot and really helped me realise what was possible. It really helped me to work out what i could fit onto the page with out overloading it and making it look to busy.
