Reader Profile

Magazine Cover


This is my magazine cover for the project. I chose the background to show similarities with the models clothing to give the magazine a colour theme. I also took the colour from the models shirt and used that colour as my font colour. I chose this also to show similarities across my magazine. I will use the same colour and font throughout the project. Another reason why I chose a grey background is because lots of different colours show up well on it so I have no limit on other colours to use for advertising etc in the magazine.

Magazine Research

I have chosen this magazine cover as one to write about because the front cover is attractive and would entice people to read it. The title is a rhetorical question which is used to give the audience a reason to read on and in this case to read about the main article in the magazine. Also the colour choice is very similar to what people know about the planet mars which is the main story in the newspaper which is a nice similarity to use on the front cover.

I chose this picture also because it has an interesting image on the front cover. The picture will attract audience of all ages because its a picture lots of generations would be interested in looking at.

Contents Page


This is my contents page for my magazine. I chose to use the same background colour as my magazine cover to continue the colour trend at the beginning of the magazine. I also used the same font and colour which I used on the cover.I used a picture of the same model in the contents page and also pictures of some of the articles which are in the magazine to advertise them with a bit more of a impact.

CD Cover Work

This is my CD cover. I have used a space design background because the CD name is 'Party Time In Space' so I decided to make the background matches with the name and make all features about the same thing. The cover has all 4 members of the band, floating in space to go along with the space theme of the album cover. I faded out the band members faces to look more like they are floating.

 My CD back cover is also designed to look like space. I have placed some of the songs which feature on the album on planets and other space starforms to make it look more like a space theme.
The spine of my CD cover has all the necessary information. It has the bandname, album title and a logo of a star at the bottom, to keep in touch with the space theme of the album.
This is my moodboard of my space themed CD cover. It has ideas of what I wanted to put on my mood board. I chose the dance image because of the band style.
