Catch up

Spending this lesson playing catch up, with my attention split between the plan for the cover of my Music magazine which I would have finished had I not been ill last tuesday, and writing the article for my main feature which will be in the magazine.

So my magazine's basically gonna be a local monthly publication about the local band / music news from a fictional town. I've decided to call it Amplifier - a bit of a boring name, but it gets across the idea that it's louder than its competitors and is clearly linked to musical instruments and general loud noises. The design so far is based roughly on NME and Kerrang!, with a thing at the bottom promoting FREE posters of five fictional bands I made up. One of the bands is a virtual band made up by one of the people that I made up. The whole situation's a bit like a cross between Gorillaz and Inception (different levels of imagination, made up people making things up basically).

Which, in my opinion, is awesome.

I've also basically finished my cover design - I just have to figure out the photos and text I'll need to get on Tuesday, and all the design stuff should be finished. Hopefully.
