Here is my centre page, I have tried to stick to the drawing but havent doner so as much as i would of liked. Even under these circumstances i still think it looks proffesional. I have sticked to the colour scheme and further developed the house style. The centre picture is exactly how i would have liked and fits the drawing almost exactly.

I again think the contents looks proffesional, the button adding this element along with the writing. I think the writing helps to build the house style and makes the magazine look less 'home made'. I had to change the layout of the images and remove a few for them to fit properly. But it has ended up giving the magazine a more clean cut, simplistic look.
       
This is the front cover for my grime magazine 'GRIME TIME' i think i have stuck to the the original drawing quite well but could have done so more. I like the writing i have used for the title as it stands out. Also i really like the button as it makes the magazine look allot more proffesional. I couldnt place the writing where i wanted it because it wouldnt have fit around the picture very well.

This is the image of grime artist 'Al Rich' I will be using. I think it shows him as quite relaxed, possibly 'cool'. This is what relates to the grime genre for allot of people and would make them want to read this if it fits the personal brief of what a grime magazine should entail. It will also fill up the cover quite well and give people information about the magazines contents. I will edit this image to see if it could possibly look any better.
This will be used in the contents.
And this in the double page spread. This writing being used frequently will also help develop my 'house style' further.

This is the writing i will be using as i feel it fits better to the genre and seems a lot more established and of a proffesional quality. I will also use this for the contents and for the header of the double page spread.
Out of all of the word art available this would be my preferance. I think this may look a little bit taccy, also it would go againt the 'house style' of the magazine colour wise and possibly lower the over all quality. I will look online for another font that is more more suited to the genre of music. Also one which looks more like the one o n the drawn version of my magazines front cover. 
This is page 2 of my magazine. It will tell the reader information about the artist and contain half of the main picture. I think the picture i am using in the middle will work well as shows the reader a full view of the artist, giving them a variety of pictures other than the medium close-up on the front cover. I like the size of the writing i am using as it stands out and gets the point across quickly about who this article is based on.
The information will fit around the picture of Alex, this will give the magazine a very proffesional feel.

The third page will complete the double page spread with the other half of the image, and a couple of others to fill spce. The interview will also be on this page again fitting around the artist images. Overall i think if i stick to this layout  i will be left with a very proffesional outcome. I will use a basic Arial font for the interview and artist information and probably word art or another font from a website for the header.
I will use the green listed below for the majority of the colour, developing it to be associated with the magazines 'house style'.
