Pulse Magazine Logos

Three logos I choose I finally decided on the graffiti to make the logo look more electrical for the magzine.

Hand Drawn Draft (Double Page Spread)

The double page spread, will feature and article on the artist (NEON), the artists name will be at the top of the page in the centre to help draw attention. The back ground will be white to help make it more eye-catching to the audience.

At the far left of the page, there will be the magazines logo (Heart Monitor effect) but also the words 'Xclusive Interview', this will bring more attention to the magazines article.

At the far right of the page will be a angled image of the artist to add extra effect and make the article more personal as there is more information for the reader.

The main image again will carry on the theme of female domination in the music industry. The image will be the female artist foot on the chest of the male model, whilst she is pulling his tie. This creates a good representation of female power and confidence. Where on the other hand male audience may find the image slightly sexual, because of the power of the female role. The words for the article will be fit into the blank section and will be arched across over and around the main image

Hand Drawn Draft (Contents)

For the contents, I will carry the aspect of energy and electricity through onto the contents page. However this time the style of electricity would make up the layout of the page. At the top of the contents, would be the magazine name mixed with the logo. On the right hand side would be the title 'This Week' this instantly allows the reader to know they are on the contents page.

The page is then split in five section; The first is far left and this is simply a rectangular box stretching from top to bottom of the page and will have a heart monitor effect in it. This has been place there to amplify the effect of the music genre, within the magazine.

The second and fourth sections will include images of the feature artist, and this will come under the section called 'The Buzz', this is the information section, giving previews of articles featured in the issue. However the word 'buzz' is again a play on the use of energy and electricity.

The third section will a letter from the editor of the magazine, this will explain the main article (the artist) but also mention other things within the magazine. The effect of having a letter from the editor within the magazine, gives a more personal feel to the reader, when they are reading the magazine.

The fifth and final section, is a basic set of listings within the magazine, these give the reference to the articles and corresponding pages. These are featured in every magazine. I also considered putting in a subscription box, this would show more detail towards the institution of the magazine.
