  • font size could be bigger, but it looks very good and the images are nice
  • good layout, but again, the writing is too small
  • boring font

this is the first draft of my music magazine called "output". i have tried to make it appeal to my target audiance by using different fonts and colours. this is just an all round music magazine as it cover all types of music genres.

pictures for magazine


these are the 4 pictures that i have selected for my music magazine, these will go on the front cover, contents page and double page spread.

magazine plan




here is my rough music magazine plan. before i have decided what name to put on it and what my front cover picture is going to be.

mini magzine layouts


the magazine name


here i have tried out different ways of ow i am going to write the magazine name.

magazine names



  1. reasons for these names;
  • tracks = this is what the artists produce

in-a-cord = this is what the artists play

1-2 one-two = this is what they do when counting in.

output = the output of music

fretz = this is what is at the end of guitars.
