Electro artist cd cover

I took pictures of my sister and thought of a name to give her as an electro artist.

Because her name is Emma i decided to incorperate that into the name i thought up for her.

The name i gave her is "EMELECTRA" - it is in capital letters because it is bolder and brighter and you would be more likely to notice it.

I have made a cd cover for the artist that i have taken pictures of and am featuring in my magazine.

I think making a cd cover for the artist that i have created would make it look more authentic and more realistic that the artist is real, which would then make my magazine

Plans for Magazine

Font cover Contents page

I have decided to name my magazine 'Club Electro' It sounds quite quirky and fun, and it also sounds exciting and interesting. It would remind people of partying and having fun so i want people to be attracted to my magazine. With the name and the layout, the colours and the fonts and writing in the magzine; I hope it will turn out well and become an eye catching one that will grab attention. Double page spread

Survey findings

I created a survey including questions that we thought were relevant to me and my magazine plans, so i could find out what i needed to be able to create a good magazine and to make it fit the conventions and style. I wanted to find out what people thought should be in this kind of magazine and whether they would buy the kind of magazine i was making. The results were quite predictable and i thought pretty much the same as they did for our magazine. I asked: 1) What would be more appealing to you: an Electro pop magazine? an electro rock magazine? both combined? The results i mostly got was Both styles combined so that more people could buy the magazine and there would be a slightly wider range of people being able to read it. 2) Would you prefer to see a fun, bright and vibrant magazine cover or a darker more mysterious one for an electro pop/rock magazine? The results were predictably Bright and vibrant because it would fit the genre of the magazine and the style. 3) Would you prefer to see a simple layout or a fun, busy one? They said they would much rather see a fun and busy one because it would appear to be more eyecatching and interesting. 4)What kind of articles would you expect to find on the double page spread of this magazine: Music Artists? Artist's Style? Gigs+Festivals? or all? The results were that they would rather see a mixture of all of them, because it would be more of a choice and a lot more interesting than just reading one. The results were predictable because i already had a good understanding of what should be included and what i should be putting on my magazine, i just wanted to find out what other people thought.

Electro Artists

I have found a list of Electro pop/rock Artists who all fit the style of our magazine style. Lady GaGa Songs: Just Dance Paparazzi Boys boys boys Beautiful dirty rich Poker face Starstruck Ladytron Songs: Seventeen Open your heart Sugar Cobra Starship Songs: Good Girls Go Bad The City is at War Cobras never say die Ke$ha Songs: Tik Tok Get in line Passion Pit Songs: I've got your number Sleepyhead Cuddlefuddle Robyn Songs: Who's that girl Where did our love go Bumpy ride I wish Lady Hawke Songs: My Delirium Dusk til Dawn Paris is Burning Empire Of The Sun Songs: We are the people standing on the shore Florence and the Machine Songs: Rabbit heart Between two lungs Dog days are over My boy builds coffins Kiss with a fist My best dress La Roux Songs: In for the kill Quicksand Bullet proof Reflections are protection Royksopp songs: Above and beyond Be free Arise Circuit breaker

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.
