MUSICA MAGAZINE DESIGN PROGRESS (INDIVIDUAL)
There were no sketches for my magazine design. But idea came from my previous magazine front cover exercise. I chose to do MJ special edition, so that I can focus on one particular theme, and there would be a form of consistency in my design. It would also be balanced. Time and Rolling stone magazines were my guide.

I decided to design a
music based magazine. I came up with the idea to create a ‘Michael Jackson’
special edition magazine. Image 1 portrays my cover page progress. From the
magazine’s title till precise details, like the volume and price.

page, where I have added more details on the content of the magazine.

cover page.

just added my picture in it.

A full-page is added. Roland guitar as was chosen as
it is a musical instrument and suits the magazine’s main theme, music.

feature story, ‘Bubbles & MJ Exclusive’.

coca-cola advertisement, since Coca-Cola is my magazine’s main sponsor.
