Main task: FC, CP, DPS mock ups

This is my mock up for my music magazine front cover. This was my very first idea, although i will change a few things for my final front page. In this i discuss the masthead, barcode, cover lines, date, main image and how my text should be a certain colour so it does not interfere with the background colour. I also talk about how i included a QR scanner seeing as it is getting quite popular these days and i thought it was a unique touch for my magazine.

This is my first mock up for my double page spread. I had the idea from the start to take a picture of the person looking to their left. This would give the effect that they are looking towards the text on the next page. I also mention the colour scheme which i say i want to keep to a minimum, although i didn't want it to look boring, so i will add only a small amount of colour, which will be yellow and blue which keeps in with the rest of the magazine.

This is my mock up for my contents page. I made my main image quite large because i thought if there was too much text, people would not want to read it. I also talked about how i added a "Dubstyle special" which is where readers might find some additional info and recieve some posters. In the editors note, i scaled my front cover page down and the text will say a quick thank you to all the readers.

Main task: Case study of a publishing house

The publishing house that i think would be most likely to publish my magazine would be MusicMags.net. There are a few reasons for this, which are, when i searched on their websight, i started to scroll through the different types of magazines that they publish. It ranged from indie's to rock, to acoustic. However, i only saw 1 dj magaine that they publish which is dj times. This got me thinking that if they are so popular with all the rock and roll mags that they publish, thats all well and good, but if they had a few more magazines with different genres, they would attract more people and get even more business. They said on their websight that they publish music magazines because not only does it inform people about artists and equipment. But it also educates the social group that the magazine was intended for. Because of these facts, i think that if they agreed to publish my music magazine "Dubstyle" then they would attract a lot more readers from the drum and bass/ dubstep genre of music. Therefore, they will widen their audience and keep expanding their business to not only publish a handfull of music magazine, but consider to publish as many magazines as possible! At first it might be slow seeing as people do not know this websight to be about drum and bass, but after a bit of time, word of mouth will spread and people will get to hear about it.
