Front Page

"Cover Page: Consistent colour scheme, good use of the conventions: barcode, masthead, skyline ect. clear image." - Kyra

"Front page: Good use of colour scheme, kept consistent throughout. Just keep the font size of your Coverlines (not the main one) the same size." - Tyrell

Contents Page

"Contents page: nice layout, consistent colour scheme, social links and clear pictures." -Kyra

"Contents page: Best page of the magazine! Layout is clear and you have included relative photos to link with Coverlines." -Tyrell

Double Page Spread

"DPS: conventions are present, colour scheme is present. could of changed the black text box to another colour." -Kyra

"DPS: Your quote should have had a drop shadow, but nevertheless, decent layout. Just feel in the space in at the bottom of the second page!" -Tyrell

Overall

"You've followed the colour scheme all the way through your work and you've followed the conventions of a music magazine mostly. One criticism is that your dps looks slightly empty" -Kedeidra

Music Magazine Unfinished Draft

First Journalism draft

Demarion, how exactly has this past year been?

Well it’s actually really hard to describe due to how much that has happened, with my single doing well making everyone get to know my music. With more on the way and more surprises too, this is certainly the start of something new and huge.

How do you feel about your song “Down Town” has been number 1 on the billboard hot 100 for 21 weeks?

Incredible Its a

It’s amazing, not even most big names can do that.

It’s just a blessing, to even be on the charts. I think this is all happening at a great time in my life. I’m still getting used to all this attention but I’m taking it one day at a time.

I heard that your debut album is coming next month, what can we expect?

Well least just say that you can expect the unexpected. [Injustice] have a little bit of everything in it from my raps to my singing but overall it will just be a great piece of art.

I’ve seen the track list too and might I say you have quite a powerful line-up.

Yeah man, I have been working with these people for over a year now, I’ve got artist from Usher to Nicki Minaj to Kanye West. It’s been such a dream come true to have been in the studio with them let alone have them on my album. I mean what could be better than know that people you have watched and idolised over the years support you and your craft.

Word on the streets is that you’re planning a tour. Wow, big things happening man.

Yep. Well… it’s still in process but if so it would probably begin at the top off 2015. However I think it’s something that needs to happen, not for me but my fans. After all they’re the main reason why I am here today if I’m being honest with you. Therefore we are trying our best to make it happen.

Finally, after breaking into the music industry like you did, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Hopefully with a Grammy [laughs]. I’m kidding but that’s a possible but I just want to continue making music and to have created a movement for myself and my fans. I’m still young so I don’t plan on slowing down my career for a good while as this is just the beginning. You only get one chance in life so I’m going to keep hold of it for as long as I can.
