This is my final piece here is my music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread.

This is my magazine front cover. I think that the front cover links back to my research especially the NME examples and Billboard. I think that it links to NME because I have used a similar colour scheme and I have also positioned the model on one side of the page which links back to my examples. I think that it links to Billboard because the image is a mid shot of the model similar to the ones taken for Billboard. The model also uses eye contact which is included in all of the researched billboard examples.

This is my magazine contents page. I think that the contents page links back to my research especially Billboard and Rolling stones contents page. I think that it links to Billboard because it uses three images in separate boxes like how billboard arranges their images. I also think that it links to Billboard because my magazine uses a UK Top 25 singles on the left side of this page and so does Billboard. I have incorporated these boxes to show how the magazine has helped to influence my choices when designing my media product. I think that it links to Rolling Stone contents page because it uses only three images on the page and this links because I have used three images on my page. I think that my page shows another link because I have organized my exclusives on the right hand side similarly to the Rolling Stone because they have listed their stories to the right of the page. Looking closely at the Rolling Stone page I noticed that they have used different lines around the main feature to separate this from the others. I have incorporated this into my work around my main feature to make this stand out to my audience.

This is my double page spread. I think that these pages link to NME and Q magazine. I think that my pages link to my Lana Del Ray NME example because the two pages are completely split so that one page has an image of the artist and the other is filled with text. I think that my pages also link with my NME example because in NME they use a large title which I found to be interesting and eye catching. I then incorporated this into my work to make by magazine page look more inviting to the audience. I think that my magazine links to Q magazine because they have also used the same layout of having one page with one image and the other age full of text. I tried to incorporate the Q magazine column layout into my work by using columns when the interview starts. I think that this shows how Q has influenced my work. I also think that my double page spread links to Q because I have used a large title which is also used in Q, the example differs because they have used the title to start off the feature whereas my magazine just uses the large font as a title.
