Front Cover photo

 

I really like this photo because i think the rule of thirds work really well and makes the photo look really effective. When you look at the photo you really want to know what the model is looking at down the path. From the angle i took the photo from it looks as if the photo is about to end up connecting at a point. I also like how there are many different textures in this photo e.g. the soft grass against the crunchy leaves.

Also in this photo i have tried to incorporate the rule of thirds to try and capture a greater effect. This has worked slightly well. With this photo you wonder why the person looks so depressed, the emptiness of the background also gives the expression of depression or sadness.

I think this photo is really bad due to a finger in the way of the lens. Also all the people in the foreground are either laughing or pulling a face which distracts you from the photo. This is something i will look at for in the future when taking photos for the rest of the media products.

I really think by the model in the foreground twitching it has ruined the photo. In this photo i have used a close up of the three models all next to each other form shoulders up.

I really like this photo, form the flash reflecting if the model face, it shows as if he is the front man of the band. I really think by all three models looking straight forward, it looks as they are looking at you making the audience feel involved in the photo.  

With the model looking as if he is about to hit the drum which really gives this photo a more effective photo, by giving the photo movement. With the clothing, background and drums i have tried to incorporate my colour scheme so the photo stands out from the magazine. With the background white, it makes the photo look clean and fresh.

In this photo my model depressed with hands on head. With an empty background almost blending into one it shows the feeling of emptiness. This is also shown from me taking the photo from an angle looking down on the model showing i am more superior than him.

 



I like this photo because it looks as if the model is really concentrating  while strumming the guitar. Again i have tried to incorporate my colour scheme because i think it makes the more effective and shows you have thought about the area and objects in the photo.

I really don’t think this is a great photo because the model is looking away from you and also it would look better if the hat was in the frame too. Also i think there is too much light in the room or the aperture was opened up too long because the face of the model looks ghost like blending in to the white clean wall.

Initial ideas

Title
-British Music Experience- I chose this title because it represents that my magazine will be about British music
-BME- I like this title because it is the initials of the title before and also some successful music magazines only use the initials of the title and some audiences like a short title
-Brit tunes- this title is also to show that this is a British magazine but I don’t think it is as successful as the previous two
-New wave- I like this title because it shows this magazine is a new magazine and has a cool name which I think will connect to my target audience
-Music Express- this title is a plan music title telling the audience that this magazine is a specifically for music

Images
-Large main image
-Small Polaroid’s dotted around
-Large Polaroid’s dotted around
-Images overlapping text
-Letters of titles made from an image

All the image plans I have chosen are different ideas I want to use for all my pages of my magazine. I really like all these image plans and I could hopefully be used throughout my magazine, but for my front cover I would only want to use one or two different plans so the cover wont look cluttered.


Stories
-This week’s top 10
-Interview with a well-known band\artist
-New bands
-New upcoming British artist/band
-Tour dates and reviews

I chose these stories because I think these will the best stories for my chosen target audience. These stories are in most successful music magazines so I would like to also have a successful music magazine.



Fonts
- Arial Black
- Comic Sans MS
- Berlin Sans FB Demi
- Broadway
- Old English Text MT

I have chosen all these different fonts to use for my text for use in all the pages of my magazine. I have chosen Arial black because it is a bold text and it would be easy to read. I have chosen Comic sans because it is a fun text and my target audience would like this text the best. I have also chosen Berlin sans because it is a thinner bold to Arial black. I have also picked Broadway and Old English text because they are both odd texts that I think my target audience, and makes my magazine look weird.


Colours
-Red, black and white
-Green and blue
-Green, white and red
-Red, white and blue
-Black and white

For my colour scheme of my magazine I have thought of five different colour schemes that I think would look good on my magazine. I have tried to use colours that would make each different colour stand out more. With my colours I prefer the red, black and white scheme because I think it would attract my target audience more, but I don’t really like green, white and red because I think it is a odd mix of colours and I don’t think my audience will like it either.
