The masthead will be kept in it ideal place, which is the left third of the front page. The selling line will be at the top of the magazine on top of a highlighted background to make it stand out. The cover lines will be aligned at both sides of the page, but the main cover line will be positioned across the chest of the artist in the main image. The main cover line will in red and black colors, outlined with a white stroke around it. The dateline will be placed on top of the main cover line but will be left in white font but will have an outer, dissolving glow of maybe white or red. Underneath the main cover line At the bottom right hand corner will be the position of the bar code and above that will be the price of the magazine. At the bottom of the magazine is the name of the website for the magazine, this will be in yellow or white colors so that it can still be spotted by readers.

Music Mag Draft: Contents

 

This is my draft for my contents page. A smaller version masthead appears again in the left-hand corner of the page slightly tilted. The title of the page "Contents" will be placed at the top right-hand side and adjacent to it will be the dateline. The background behind the title and the dateline will be dark red or black. The blank space below will be left blank so that the content will be easy to read. The content of the magazine will be categorized into 3 different parts; features, specials and extras. The extras will be positioned at the bottom right-hand corner of the page. I will add three photographs to the content page to give a sneak-peak to the rest of the magazine. a reminder of the selling-line will be shown at the bottom left-hand corner of the page.   .

Bowens Radio Trigger

This multifunctional device can be used to trigger flash units, film and digital cameras and light meters up to 100m. Because it uses radio transmission, rather than IR, it allows for triggering around corners, through walls and is not affected by high ambient light situations.

60cm Soft Box

60cm Softbox with white interior is the perfect solution for obtaining soft, diffused lighting. Its rigid body construction and colour-tested removable diffusion panel provide quality results. Rods are constructed from a high carbon stainless steel. The rounded fitted collar is made of heat resistant material and minimizes light loss. The white interior allows for a high light output but slightly softer than the silver version and the removable interior baffle allows for extra control and flexibility. Adapter Ring sold separately. For use with lights up to 1000w.

Type: Softbox
Use with: Most flash heads via Adapter Rings
