This is my developed draft using Layout 2 from my drafts, which I decided on after I made them. I think it will be fairly easy to stick to this layout if I get my images right, as I can manipulate my features around them. I've just used the main features for the purpose of my draft, without most of the smaller descriptions, but some samples just to show the font off, as I will mention. Also the arrnagment of the colours may change, in that my images won't be stick peopel so will have a colour to them so the text on top may not stay the same.
The font I've chosen to use as my main feature font is another modern one off dafont.com called Kravitz, which I've downloaded in Kravitz Thermal/Extra Thermal too as I haven't decided which one I'm going to use yet as the original is fairly thin, but at the minute I'm using Extra Thermal for the heading and the original for everything else. It's very rounded and sans serif, it's also quite circular, unlike my cover font which was very linear. It's going to be my staple feature font, like on the Clash and Q contents, as it's still plain but has that quirky style to it. I think it will appeal to my readers, because of it's roundness and the way it all seems to fit together, helping with the matching vibe I've got going on, as I went less for the thrown-together loook. For my smaller descriptions font, I've used Gills Sans MT Condensed as it's a contrast to the larger more spread out font, so looks effective and again promotes variation and mix, also it's very readable so I'll be able to carry it on in my DPS.
For the colours, I'm using the the convention of 3 colours, black, white and the same bright pink as the cover to keep a theme/house style running through, but this may change each issue. I think I'll also keep my images monochrome, to keep in with the simplisitic modern style and my readers may notice this, then hopefully take the to the reading that I know what I'm doing with this magazine because everything matches well.
I've also chosen to add small quirky details to my contents, just to draw it together more and make it tighter with no random gaps. As well as the quote I decided to add, I've added a download code feature, just an extra feature, where if that code is typed into iTunes it comes up with an automatic playlist to download featuring all the songs from that issue. I've also added a little cover credits box in the corner, which I think just adds to the professionality.
