Draft Sketches

As a vague guideline to how I want my pieces to end up, I've drawn a few rough sketches as first drafts for my front cover, contents page, and double page spread. These will help me with my photography for the pages and placement of text.

Analysis: Contents Page

The final pieces of analysis I've completed are four analyses of contents pages from other music magazines. These will help me in styling my own and making it look as realistic as possible.
