Research for Music Magazine

I have taken a look at some music magazine front covers and thought about the conventions and kind of things that are expected to be found on all different types of music magazines. This magazine is an example of a music magazine. the layout is effective and it includes different types of music that can cater for everyone. Here is an example of a magazine which is more for people that like to listen to rock music. the cover is bold and has pictures and lists of rock bands. This magazine looks quite masculine but is for both boys and girls. This magazine has large, eye catching words and the kicker is big and attracts attention to it.

Music Magazine

We are now making music magazines. I decided to go for a music magazine which is under the genre of Electro music with various artists and things which relate to Electro as much as possible. I have taken a few photos in clothes and in the style of Electro artists and started to plan out how i would like my magazine to look. I then started to think about who i actually wanted to model for my magazine and be the artist that i need to feature in my magazine. I took some pictures of my sister in bright clothes and edited them myself so they look very bright and eyecatching.

School Magzine and Contents page.

I have completed creating my school magazine and contents page.

I Used the usual magazine conventions and made my magazine look as usual as possible. I wanted my magazine to look effective and be attractive to the audience who are going to see it. I didn't want my magazine to look plain and boring, so i used various layers to create effects. I decided to make my magazine look edgy and more interesting that most school magazines usually are when you find them. I did this by using imagery and wording to make it successful.

School Magazine

I have started to create my school magazine front cover, using a photo which i took and different effects and tools on photoshop. < This is the image i am using on my magazine front cover, i am also using an image i took for an effect for the background.

Photoshopped images

Using photoshop we were trying out ways to make effective images and i then created an image using pictures of celebrity found from the internet.

I used Esmee Denters to create my image.

There is a large background image of her face which i faded so the image on top of half of her body is bolder and stand out on top, giving an interesting effect.

I then added her name on top of the faded image.

The picture i created looks like the kind you would find in a magazine or on a billboard for an advertisement.

Rule of Thirds and Magazine Titles

we have looked at the rule of thirds on magazine front covers and images to find out which way would be more inviting to the readers and viewers of the magazine.

This rule of thirds image looks more interesting and inviting because its to the side, and not dead central. Some of the bee's body and wings are in the central third of the image, and the flower is in the thirds on the right side.

We also looked at the magazine titles, the way they are presented and what kind of font they are in. we analysed them and thought about what they would tell us if we just saw the title and nothing else. We disovered that we can find out quite a bit about the magazine by the way the title is presented.
