Rationale

Colour usage: the colours I will use are going to be a white background with an image using a vector image of a person so the background is still white, I will have black text for titles and the main writing. I will have red and grey effects around the outside, it will be modern looking and have, a look which stands out compared to other magazines.

Image use: the image i will be using will have been taken in a studio so it looks more professional, it will have a white background and and be high key. The model will be dressed like a singer and be posing, i will edit in other effects to the image so it looks better. I will retouch the skin and enhance features to make it look like a magazine. It will be a full body shot and be straight pointing at the model.

Text usage: the text will be whats inside the magazine and pull quotes not much because the main focus will be the main image and the masthead.

Layout and font: The layout will be as shown on the image and the font will be something that looks smart.

Colour Usage: The colours will follow the colour scheme of red, white and black. It gives a good, simple but effective look and is appealing to the eye, it will have grey outline, with black text, he black text is easier to read. The masthead, will have a red rectangle background behind it, this will make the text stand out more.

Image use: The images will be references to pages, and have smaller images of what will be on each page, the images will have descriptions in the features, to tell people what the pages are about. I will use previously edited photos, to get a professional look.

Text usage & font: The text will be information on what is later in the magazine as it is a contents page, the fonts will be as listed on the fonts page

Layout: the layout will be as in the picture it will look clear and flow better.

Colour usage: the colours will fit the colour scheme of the magazine, with red, black and white.

Image use: The main image will take up the whole 1st page of the double page spread, and fade into the 2nd one giving a smooth look.

Text usage & font: The text is an interview with the artist featured on the double page spread, it talks about the artist and related things to do with them. The font is the same as the rest of the magazine to continue with the theme.

Layout: The layout of the double page spread is as shown in the image, it will also have text which fades into the background and has shadowed effects on to show contrast to the main body text.
