Contents page justification

This is my contents page:

I chose the Postinkantaja Job font because it looks very punk-like; it's messy, scratchy and fits in well with the style of magazine. the Stentinga font for the bigger volumes of text i.e. the small blurbs for the pages featured in the page is also kind of messy but also readable to give it more of a professional look. Punk has a very messy but somewhat attractive feel to it and I think the paint plats around the date add to that.

Checklist for the weeks goals (3rd - 7th march)

Get double page spread finished - Done, just adding final touches, as i am with the other pages.

justify pages and get them on blog - only got contents page and double page spread to do now.

Updated magazine pitch



I changed the title of the magazine so I updated the pitch.

Double page spread inspiration

I very much like the way that they kept the conventional model on one page and text on the other style to this. Despite this, Kerrang! still have a huge title and quote to the article taking up almost half a page to keep it looking very punk and rock and roll. My double page spread is a lot like this except the model and text has swapped sides.


Some inspiration for my front cover

For my front cover, I took a lot of inspiration from this Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) edition of Kerrang! I like the style and the way it's set out. Kerrang! left quite a bit of space between all the components making this cover up in this edition, which feels sort of refreshing seeing as there's barely any space on most other editions of Kerrang!


Front cover justification

Here's my front cover:

A lot of things are jumbled around and it's organized in a sort of messy way with all the fonts and especially the pain splatter to the left of the model's face. It also makes use of  most of the space on the page, I did this because a lot of other rock magazines do this, such as Kerrang! and Metal Hammer.
