IPC Media is a brand which produces many of today's best known magazines, such as the NME. It's broad range of magazines means there's a magazine for everyone. The IPC website will be used by me so that I can analyse what the magazines do successfully to help make them sell so well. I will take many ideas off there website and for my proper task, making a music magazine, I'll be using the NME magazine as a inspirational piece.

this is my image of which i manipulated on Microsoft word. we did this exercise to learn and prepare ourselves for making our front covers for our educational magazine, which is our preliminary task. I used a simple font and coloured the background grey to make it seem authentic.  

this is a quick mock up of a contents page for my educational magazine. I sketched it out and thought up a few stories to go with it. My proper contents page will be done on a computer.
