Contents page and double page spread ideas (sub photos)

In this task I have taken some pictures that may be included on my double page spread and contents page. I took some pictures of people playing instruments and some of fashionable shoes, this shows that the magazine is a mixture of everything not just one aspect of music. 

Below I have attached the feedback from my target audience regarding the pictures for the contents page and double page spread.
 From recieving this feedback it is clear that the idea of having people playing musical instruments in the pictures is a very good idea as it reinforces the fact that it is a pop music magazine.

The pictures that include the instruments clearly aren't of a very good quality this is due to the fact that I knew they wouldn't be my final images and I was aware of the fact that they would need amendments so I will be taking them again in a different setting, outfits etc and of a better quality which is what my target audience also said that they think I should do.

My target audience said that they like the fact I have included fashionable shoes that typically the artists featured in my magazine and the target audience would wear and have knowledge of. This emphasises the fact that the content of my magazine will include a mixture of everything, not just one aspect of music as that would limit the possibilities that I could explore within my magazine.

Layouts of magazine pages

In this task I have drawn out rough drafts for my front cover, contents page and double page spread so that I have some type of guidance and idea when creating my magazine. I used ruler, pencil and colours when doing these in the images shown below.
