This is the front cover of my dance magazine asw you can see I have used alot of bright colours so it drags people in and makes it look exciting. The background I made on photoeshop using the brushes tool, the reason why I used the funky shapes is because dance music is fast and crazy and to get that effect I used the shapes to make the magazine look crazy. The font I used is called 'Terminator' the reason I chose this font is because its bold and when I filtered it with colours it stood out and contrasted well with the background. I chose the name 'Chunes' as it's a play on words with the tunes it also is slang so it realates to my target audience which is teenagers, the slogan 'dance through your ears' I chose this because its cheesy it gives the magazine have a slighly different edge to it and slightly going with my orignal idea of having a pop magazine. The reason why I chose this specific photoe is becasue its fun, it looks like they are a real band and as they are young I think people will look up to them for inspiration. the one thing I would possibly change is put more sub-headings into the magzine as I only have the two about 'Ravey Davey and the TA-DAH posters' I dont think its enough for people to want to read more.

This is my contents page for my dance magazine, the background was ispiried from the game space invaders I thought seeing as I like colour and doing a dance magazine alot of my influences will be from old school games like space invaders, pac man etc the background I made myself by looking at pictures from google and re-creating them on paint then converting them to photoeshop to edit the colours and make slightly fade it otherwise you wouldn't of been able to see the writing and pictures. I chose the 'Terminator' font again as I thought to save complications changing font just to stick to one I also wanted my readers to be able to read it thats why it's fairly big, I chose the font to be green as green is the colour of aliens and seeing this page is space invaders I thought it could realate to that. I really like how simple this page is and because it's simple it stands out the writing I feel draws you down to the pictures which I really like as the pictures really stand out against the background. I feel this will attract my audience as its fun I have used rather simple but bright colours I have also tried not to sterotype it so all people can enjoy it rather than stick with the rockers or the R&B fans.
This is my double page spread
This is my double page spread for my dance magazine I chose again to have the background all crazy colours and have the weird shapes. I really like the layout of the page as its starts with the name of the band in the blue triangle I made it like this as I feel its like the band are trying to make a statement. I chose again the font type 'Terminator' as it's bold and when you add colour to it, its clear, this time though I decided to cut lines out of the word as if i kept it the same the repetativness would of got slightly boring. I chose to give each band member a different colour that there Bio would go in I did this for their iduveduality also the colours go well with the shapes in the background. The font I chose for the Bio's was 'Will & Grace' I really liked this font I thought it was simple the readers would be able to read it and it brakes up all the crazy colours and pictures and adds some normality to it. I'd like to say that I have tried to stick to a normal magazine functions by having the title at the front the text going down the page and the pictures placed where nessacerry.
