Media Studies

My table of contents with the fonts and generalized positions of where everything will go.

I have decided on a title for my magazine and my fonts for the cover template. I also did a few edits to the general layout such as shifting the title and the featured article.

This is my cover template, I couldn't decide on a good font for my magazine or a name for my magazine but I have a few different ideas on what I think I want to name it. I have also limited my fonts to about two different ones. 

The main background color of the magazine is a light blue color, over top of that is a picture of the band Fall Out Boy their name is over top of the picture of them. along the left side is articles that are featured inside the magazine and the bands that are featured in the magazine. Just below Fall Out Boy's name is a Rock Sound CD in red that has the word free on it. Along the top of the cover is the posters that are included inside the magazine. The contents page is a two page spread along the left side has a little blurb of a short article below that is some information on the band in the photos below that. The main photo in this two page spread is a picture of the band of All Time Low. On the right page is the title "All your Favorite Bands" then gives the names of the bands and the pages the articles that they are on. To the right of that is a circle with the words 26 new bands your need to hear. below this is the rest of the table of contents and the page numbers....

The front cover of the Alternative press magazine is green with a picture of the band state camps.
