Article layout for media coursework- Reviews

This is my first draft and I quite happy with the overall outcome. I attempted to create a iconic house style by making Rondo Reviews more of a logo itself as Q magazine does. Red is quite common in music magazines so I used my knowledge of research and tried to incorporate that into my own work. I’ve used my own photography throughout my magazine bar a few images on the front cover of celebrities and the advert which is on the album reviews page. I feel that using my own photography has made my work more authentic as magazine generally take their own images. I decided to make the name of the bands I was reviewing in a handwritten look type of font as i felt that this made my work more original. This font would also become part of the house style if this was going to be published on a weekly basis. I also used a star rating system as this is a common convention across reviews not just in magazines but on online formats.
