entry 8: added information - progress

I started off making my magazine by starting with the Front Cover as this is the most important part of a magazine in which to grab the readers attention and make them want to purchase the magazine. I chose a black background as I thought it would look effective and goes with the genre of hip-hop as most hip-hop artists are from a black background. I then wanted a font to fit the genre aswell so I went onto the website www.dafont.com where there was plenty of fonts for me to choose from. I then added information to the front cover e.g. artists and storylines featured in the magazine. After this I decided to start on my contents page as I didnt want to get too into the front page and rush the contents and 2-page-spread. I placed to title and added a few page ideas on the page. After this I then started on the 2-page-spread which required around 800 words so I thought to take time on this as I had to make it all up and make it seem as though it was a real interview with the real artist. Once I had finished the 2-page-spread I went back to the front cover and finished off any extra bits that needed to be added, then the same with the contents page. Once all the pages were finished I selected my chosen pictures for the magazine and inserted them onto the pages.
