This is the final draft of my front cover for my magazine.

Double Page Spread Article

I know what alot of you are thinking now, who the hell are Enter Shikari? Am I right? Enter Shikari are a British post-hardcore band formed in 2003 in St Albans, Hertfordshire. They combine post-hardcore and various heavy metal sub-genres, such as metalcore and alternative metal, with elements of various electronic genres, such as electronica, dubstep, trance, industrial and occasionally drum and bass, creating a particularly unique sound.
The band is named after a boat belonging to Roughton "Rou" Reynolds' uncle, and a character in a play which he wrote before forming the band, both of which are named Shikari. Shikari also means 'Hunter' in Marathi, Persian, Hindi, Nepali, Urdu, Punjabi and
Bengali. But how did they  start?In 1999 a band named Hybryd formed, consisting of Rou Reynolds on guitar and vocals, Chris Batten on bass guitar, and Rob Rolfe on drums. They released an EP called Commit No Nuisance which featured the tracks "Perfect Pygmalion", "Look Inside", "Torch Song", "Honesty Box" and "Fake".
In 2003, with the addition of guitarist Liam "Rory" Clewlow, Hybryd became Enter Shikari. Rou focused his musical efforts on vocals and electronics instead. From when They started in 1999  they have ‘Taken the world like and alien invasion’ Said by Rou Reynolds when they were interviewed at downoad 2006.

Almost Finished Contents

This is the contents page for my magazine, it is almost finished, all that is needed is the pull quote from my main article which i will add when ive finished my double page spread.

Finished Main Magazine Cover

This is my main magazine font cover. It is pretty much all the same as the last post, but i have changed the masthead as i think this one stands out a lot better and I've added the main sell-line.. Also i have moved the price down to the bottom with the bar-code and have added a website address under the masthead. These are only small as they aren't very important.

Main Magazine Front Cover with Main Image and No Main Sell Line

This is my main magazine front cover. it its the same as the last post which didn't have the main image in it. i have now added the main image and have edited the main image so that it is black and white and only certain parts of it are in colour. This means it isn's to bright and fits with the colours of the the rest of the magazine cover.

Magazine Front Cover With No Main Image and Main Sell-Line

This is my Main magazine front cover without the main image and main sell-line. in this there is the masthead at the top of the page, which was in my last post, above this is some of the bands that are included in the magazine. On the left hand side of the page is a poster special to attract the reader and a sell-line for an interview. at the bottom of the page is another sell-line. above this on the right is the barcode and essential info giving the date of release and the issue number, and under the masthead is the price of the magazine. All of the colours on the page are quite dark colours like greys and black. These fit in with the conventions of a rock magazine.
