Draft Layout Ideas
- 1. Screenshots of my working on layout design templates in QuarkXPress After some initial problems I found it quite easy to layout pages and move type and picture boxes around to get the look I wanted I had to save the Quark files as pdf’s so that I could use them for my presentation and put them onto my blog
- 2. The inside track on music and its makers - who they are and how they were... MMADE After choosing the final version of the name and the font that I thought would work best I decided to change the colour to a bright blue as I thought pink might alienate male readers. There will be an overall fully bled picture as the main cover shot which will feature the ‘main’ star article in the issue The masthead is in the traditional position across the top of the magazine and I want to have limited text on the cover to inform www.mademagazine.com readers of the basic concept but entice them to look inside for more information. I want to run the sub headings, website and issue number around the edge to frame the main photo MUSIC INDUSTRY NEWS, EVENTS LYRICS INTERVIEWS AND UPDATES
- 3. MMADE The inside track on music and its makers - who they are and how they were... www.mademagazine.com Keeping the colour I liked the idea of running the title vertically along the right hand edge as the eye is drawn to the right and it formas more of a subliminal frame around the cover picture The secondary text information will change colour to read correctly on my final version with the cover photo in place and the shot will be taken to suit this layout MUSIC INDUSTRY NEWS, EVENTS LYRICS INTERVIEWS AND UPDATES

On the double page spread I liked the concept of repeating the title using a colour change for the particular article as this is the main feature in the magazine and ideally would be the centre spread The left hand column is a text/facts list the rest of the left hand page is the editorial itself which is justified in narrow colums as I liked this in other magazines from my research The right hand page is a fully bled photo shot specifically for my magazine
