With this draft I want to fill the page and make the contents page full of content. In my last attempt I had the idea to keep it simple, light and not full so the buyer doesn't have to search for long to find what theyre looking for. But with further research into music magazine I discovered people want more instead of less in terms of content and how to find it. In draft 1, I focused on the big story's but in this draft I wanted to get everything in here. I find this visually more gratifying and logically better for the user to find more content if they're confused.
The fonts I decided to use are still in the house style of the front cover and the double page spread. I wanted to keep everything consistent throughout the magazine to establish a brand for the magazine. The fonts used are called 'Bebas' ( This font is used for the title and numbers), 'Letter Gothic STD' (Fotnt used for subtitles) and 'Vijaya' (Used under the subtitle to expand on that). The fonts are simple, smart and sophisticated and stay within the house style. This is a conscience decision I made to try and establish the magazine as a brand. The most successful mainstream magazines use the same font over and over and coin that font as theirs. I am hoping to get this status with these three fonts and tie them in with LAME magazine.
The colours used in this is black & white. I didn't want to use any other colours because that would go against the house style and look I am trying to achieve. The only colour on the piece is the three photos on the bottom. I kept them in colour because when I edited them black & white it didnt look aesthetically pleasing and I wasn't happy with it.
In this piece I decided to add links and information regarding the magazines social media sites. I personally think if someone wants to follow us on social media that they will find us on there own accord and companies should'nt force it down our necks. But in case people do want to follow us them the information is there.
