my own magazine

I have just started my contents page for my real magazine, I have quickly added the masthead and 'CONTENTS' heading and will be working on this using the flat plan I created earlier, this lesson I focused on the actual layout of the contents page. I successfully added the content from my mock up and was also able to add an image with the time that I had.

I have also designed a question and answer question with somebody who would be likely to answer like a typical artist would, I will include this in my double page spread, it will make it look 'full' and will also have interesting exclusive content for the reader.

 When did you realise music was your ‘thing’, your passion?

(laugh) This is a funny story, when I was really young, around 7 or 8, I was singing in shower. My mum told me that I had a hidden talent and I thought it was funny, but I kept pushing and I even signed up for classes to get even better, stuck to that week after week and here we are now.

Are there any particular artists or figures out there that inspire you to carry on?

Ace hood, definitely. It’s cuz he doesn’t rap about money, fame and girls. He raps about his struggles, his kids and his relationship with god init, it’s important to have a strong connection with God. Oh yeah, he even encouraged my relationship with god to be stronger and that gives me the passion to carry on. Ace hood is underrated I hope he gets the attention he deserves soon

What does your family think about your music considering the themes you cover and language you use?

At first, my parents were not really accepting of the music cuz they wanted me to be proper religious, like my mum said start rapping for church (laughs). But there was one night, I even remember it was late night and I was having hot choc and pizza, don’t ask me why. But yeah I had my notepad and pen, then my mind was flowing free and it made my music is what it is today. My parents have to accept it now I guess (chuckles)

If you could go on holiday to anywhere with anyone, who would it be and where?

Oooh that’s a good one, if I could go anywhere, it would probably be… JAPAN, I guess it’s cuz it’s a peaceful place where you can release your mind on another level, Japan is cool man. Oh! And if I could take anyone it would be Kevin Hart, he’ll make the whole journey fun and jokes he’s up there as one of my favourite comedians, definitely.

Other than music – what do you do in your free time?

I can’t even lie, I like to stay at home PS4 with the boys or if anything by myself really.

What are your goals for the near future? Any investments or plans?

My dad supported west ham and he passed away, so I’m planning to buy a place near the new stadium in his honour, I really wanna keep making music and staying on my grind so I can reach that goal

 
What are your thoughts on Trump winning the US election?

Personally, he is not capable to run because in my eyes, he is a businessman and not a politician. He has no experience and he’s a joke. He makes the whole of America look foolish and I honestly don’t know why half of the population actually voted for him. Everybody knows that Trump has plans to destroy what Obama created, I don’t agree with anything this man aims for. Make America great again? It sounds like a joke itself.

what to do next:

• Add an image of another model to the contents page 
• Add an image of trainers to the contents page 
• May add a bar at the bottom or top to make it look symmetrical
• Begin double page spread and/or front cover
