The idea for the colour scheme of my
magazine came from magazine.
The black, white and red colour scheme made
the magazine look simple yet professional, Iwanted my magazine to reflect this .
My magazine is based on a variety of different music
genres, I also wanted my mast head to reflect that,
therefore I chose a font which could be classed as; rock n
roll, indie or punk, it also ties in with s look.
I chose this image to use on the
front cover, as it shows
Looking straight at her audience,
it also shows her rock side as
she has a lip piercing. I also feel
that the colour of the image will
draw in readers as magazine
pictures are not normal taken in
sepia.The variety of artists and
music genres I havechosen, have all been
inspired by Magazine.
I wanted to create a music
magazine that appealed
to all music lovers of all
ages.

The posture of in my photographs shows status and
attitude. I wanted her to come across as a star with attitude to
help reflect her personality. Some photos our taken from normal
height, others are taken from below the star to show status. I
used an image which looked directly at the audience for the front
cover, to invite them in to read the magazine.
The facial expressions she pulls within the images, show a range
of emotions, for example sometimes she smiles, sometime she
shows teeth, sometimes she looks directly into the camera with a
blank expression. All help to emphasise the fact that she is a star
with attitude.
Throughout taking the images I experimented with the lighting.
Sometimes I would turn the light completely off and use the flash,
however other times I would keep the light on.
The clothes which I chose for my photo shoot, where a range of;
vintage, indie, festival and rock n roll looks. I feel this also helped
to show the audience that she was an artist who makes all genres
of music. This also reflects how unique she is.
She dresses like a typical teenager, this helps to show the
audience that she is aiming her music at teenagers.

My typical reader is a 16+ year old female, who likes a variety of music, they
also love to shop in shops such as ;
Topshop
River Island
New Look
ZaraThey listen to about 11 hours+ of music a week, and like artists such as:
Drake
Nicki Minaj
Plan B
Paramore
Eminem
They mostly listen to their music either travelling, at home or at school.They like professional yet busy magazine covers, filled with their favourite
artists, with large fonts and amazing giveaways.
They would spend roughly 1+ on a music magazine each week or month.
There favourite colours are: Red, Black, Pink, Green, White, Yellow etc, i feel
that for my magazine i will stick to : Red, Black & White in similarity to Q
magazine as i feel it looks very professional and clear.
My reader will go to around 4-6 concerts a year varying form gigs to festivals,they will spend most of their money on tickets, clothing, music, perfume,
Dvd's and socialising.
Overall my reader will be a music lover, who loves to spend most ofher time
either with friends or listening to music at home or at school, she will be into a
range of subjects at school, and who loves to attend concerts and festivals
with friends.

FRONT COVER5
I feel that my magazine cover is veryprofessional looking. You can clearly see themain image, and read all of the text on thefront.
The logo at the top of the page, is bold andeye-catching, therefore memorable. It willalso stand out on news stands.
The main image is not in a colour you wouldnormally expect I took it in sepia to helpcompliment the colours of font u used.
The use of the logos throughout the page, isso that people have never read themagazine, but know the artists within willwant to read it. They do not have to pick upand flick through the magazine to know thatthe artists are in the magazine, they can just
recognize their logos. Exclusive Interview Jenni B is the main
article of the magazine therefore it had tostand out more than the rest, I chose to dothis by putting a glow effect behind the font.

FIRST STAGE5
To create my front cover I had to take a range
of images, which varied in location, lighting,
costumes, facial expressions, posture,
positioning, props. It took 2 days to complete, I did 3 different
shoots over the 2 days, improving each time I
did one.

SECOND STAGE5
The second stage was to find a font for my
title of my magazine. I used www.dafonts.com
, which provided me with a range of fonts to
use. I then added a black text box around the
edge to create the look I intended.

THIRD STAGE5
For my third stage I then made a list of thingsthat I wanted to be on my front cover.
For example; track of the week and meet
I then went into Fireworks and chose the sizes,colours and positions of the text.

front cover. I took real-life logos and editedthem.

barcode, price and date to add a professional
element.

CONTENTS PAGE5
My contents page is very bright andcolourful, however it links in with thehouse style.
The use of the film strip draws theeyes back into the main article as it
contains the images of the artist themain article has been based on.
The use of the logos, is so thatreaders can just quickly flick to thepage of that artist without having toread all the contents page.
There is no space on the page, I feelthis keeps the eyes busy and givesthem something interesting to lookat.
Also the editors note gives it aprofessional look.

FINAL STAGE5
As I did not have a background, the contents
page did not take to long. Therefore I played
around with it for a while to make slight
improvements, I decided to put the images
into a filmstrip using Fireworks.
I then added in the band logos to the
appropriate pages to make it easier for thereader, to access the pages.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD5
The first page of my double page spread,
contains a huge image of the star, this
draws in the eyes of the reader. Also she
is looking down at her interview. The use
of the film strip relates back to the
contents page.
The red,black,orange and white coloursare consistent throughout
The logo also stands out as
it is very bold and large.
The second page of my double spread also contains a film strip, to display images, I feel
that this is interesting and draws in the readers eyes. It also breaks up the text so they
will enjoy reading it more as young readers do not want to be reading a magazine
which contains a large amount of solid text.

FIRST STAGE5
My first stage was to pick out images which I
felt would be effective. I decided to use the
large image down the right hand side of the
first page, as she is looking down into the
interview.
I then continued the house style, by using a
filmstrip to put the images in, I also continuedthis on my last page.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM
CREATING MY PRODUCT5
I have learnt a range of new skills, for example how to effectively use Fireworks. Also I have learnt
how to take good quality photographs and put them into a magazine and make them look
professional.
I have also been introduced to new websites, such as; blogger, flickr, slideshare, dafonts, all of
these have helped me to create my product and help me to create a successful blog.
After researching into the magazine industry, I was able to learn facts about the industry that Inever knew before, It also helped me to understand what makes a successful magazine.
