Evaluation of planning

Style sheet:I used colours such as orange and red is they represent angry and heavy metal music is quite angry and powerful music. I also used them because they are bright and will catch customers eyes. I involved colours such as black, white and grey. These colours will be used inside the magazine for text because its more of an less harsh colour to the eye and we are also used to reading in black and white as I will demonstrate why we prefer to read in black and white.

Red is mainly for outlining images and headlines. Orange is used for advertising and additional cover lines on the front of the front of the magazine. Black, white and grey are used for writing inside of the magazine.

The reason for my masthead called bash is because it looks like its been bashed. The word bash describes heavy metal and rock. I chose red to give it a evil look about it and white and so it can stand out from the black background I'm going to apply to my image on front page. Most magazine font sizes are 14pt between 11pt. I've decided to use Arial fonts through out my magazine because they are bold fonts.

Evaluation of planning

Flat plan:

My flat plan involves loads of information in it. This information will be reviews of albums and single. Also includes charts in there. Will also include gig information. My magazine is going to be aimed at young people such as people in the teen years. I’ve added many posters in my flat plan because young people tend to relate to images more than older people because they find them more interesting. I've included stories about celebrities e.g. rock and heavy metal bands.

Evaluation of planning

Plan of front cover:

I will have a picture of a band on my front cover because most rock/ heavy metal magazines tend to always have a band on the front cover of their pages, usually the image is quite dark so I decided that I will make my image dark by applying a black background to my front cover. This is why I have a magazine logo that is white because white stands out from the dark background. All my cover lines will be orange to stand out from the dark background and to make it eye catching for customers.

Evaluation of planning

Plan of contents page:

I will have a picture or lead band signer on the right hand side of the contents page that will have a dark background behind him. My contents title will be Arial Black font and the colour will be white against the dark grey background. My contents will be inside this trapezium shape that's red. I used red to make it stand out.

Evaluation of planning

Plan of double page spread:

I will have a story about are main band and on the left i will have another group photo of the band with a dark background behind them. I use a grey background and black writing because non of these colours are harsh and bright to make the eye strain. I will also add an other picture in the story of the band again. The title on the double page spread will be ‘THIS IS ARE STORY’ in Arial Black font black.
