Would my magazine be priced or Free?

I would like my magazine to be priced but not for to much money because I wouldn't have thought people would be very interested as they can see whats happening with artists on the internet , but because it is priced it would include free codes to upload music to there ITunes. Also there would be digital subscriptions so iPad editions, interactive magazines and codes published in physical title that unlock extra content online.

My Double Page Spread Layout

 

Here is my ideal layout for my double page spread obviously the pages are going to be next to eachother and this is what it would look like, the smaller images will be black and white while the big image will be in colour, all the images will be the same person just doing different poses with the same clothes on. The red lines mean 5 thin lines next too eachother like in one of the NOW double page spread ones. I'm hoping that it would look like the Now double page spread because I quite like it, it looks quite fun and st ylish!

Double Page spread Research

I have researched on different types of Double Page spreads, there are some which I really like and hope to do something like and there are some which I really don't like maybe because of the image, the way its laid out or the colours used.

Here is one which I dont no whether i like it or not. I really like the font of the title, because its bold, stands out and looks like the letters have been cut out from a newspaper or magzine. The image is Ok but its not very exciting, doesn't look like a good quality image and the colours are quite boring, the text alright, it looks a bit like a nespaper at the bottom. But the thing that is what im not so keen on is that it looks quite plain and theres not a lot on it and I'm not too keen on the layout of the page. 

Heres another double page spread which I have looked out I still think that it looks quite plain but the image is much, better it looks more interesting and COOL! They've used fading to make the golden person pop out from the other people in the band. There clothes look more posh and not so down to earth so they look more like superstars/singers that more people no. There' s also a clear colour scheme of golds whites and silvers, which i find is more interesting. 

Heres one Double page spread which I really like and this is hopefully the one which I am going to imitate, or just take certain parts from it. I am chosing to imitate this one because I took photos which are similar to these ones, of showing the whole body and doing different actions. I also took a really good image to be the big coloured one at the front. I no that I will have to add more text than other double page spreads which is the thing which I am not so sure on, but I dont mind because I might add other pictures or enlarge the others ones such as the ones at the top so it will fill up more of the page. I have already started on my double page spread   by adding the lines through the middle and adding the main image and started to edit it, I also may take some more pictures for the black and white photos at the top. I also like the Blue which they have used for some of the text which really stands out and the main image at the front really stands out because of the clothes she has worn of reds, blues and pinks, which I think is a really good Idea so I might try and get someone to wear some bright colours so that my double page spread really stands out!

Target Audience

I' ve shown that I have targeted a certain audience by the text, images and fonts I have portrayled in both my front cover and my contents page. The audience that I have targeted is mainly for young adults age ranging from about 15- 20 or for people who really enjoy listening to rap, hip hop and pop music.
