Plan Of Article


Using the examplar double page spreads that I found on the internet, I have created my own plan for my article. When I asked my audience what they would like to feature on an article, a 'Need To Know' section was mentioned as it was seen on a Kerrang article page, and so I will add this into the bottom of my article.

Results of Article Questionnaire


These are the three examples of articles from Q, NME and Kerrang! that I gave my target audience to pick from. It was a unanimous decision with all 20 people I asked choosing the Kerrang! article and so this is the style and layout I will model my article on. A few however commented on how they thought the 'Need To Know' section on the NME article was interesting and so I will use this as well on my article.

Article Research

Before I begin to construct my article for my magazine I need to decide on a layout. I have printed out 3 different styles of articles from Kerrang!, NME and Q and will ask 20 people which they prefer and which would be best suited to my front cover and contents page. From then I can build a layout for my article and begin piecing it together.

Features

Here is a list of the features I chose to include on my contents page:
04 LANA DEL REY - Born To Die: Behind The Scenes
09 CONNOR PENSON - Life On The Road
17 DEMI LOVATO - Breakdown, Rehab And Unbroken
21 SNAPSHOTS - The Fans And Their Idols
37 TOM FURNISS - The King Of Drum & Bass

Contents Page Progress

I forgot to upload this image on Wednesday but this is my contents page so far. The second image on the page is of me and Zach Phelps (solo artist). I decided to use this picture and create a feature on 'Fans With Their Idols' to make my magazine more fan orientated. The image also contrasts the other two on the page because its more casual and wasn't set up as a photoshoot.
