Final Double Page Spread

The image above was my original 'final double page spread'. After showing people and asking for feedback, I decided to add an 'off-white' block coloured background, to make it a little less bright and easier to look at. I think it made the image look better aswell because the model is wearing a white top and it looks more defined against the coloured background.

Creation Process of my Music Magazine

Used Photos

These are the edited versions of the photos I used of my main model Esther in my magazine. I chose these photos because it included a range of shots such as a mid shot, a close up and a full length shot. They also incorporate a variety of camera angles including low angles and high angles. By using various different types of photos, my magazine will be more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.

Unused Photos

These are some of the photos from my photoshoots that I chose not to use in my magazine for various  different reasons, including- the angle of the photo, the lighting and the background.

Changing the Title

After creating the second draft of my magazine, I decided to change the name/masthead. Originally, it was called 'sound' as this was one of the names suggested on my survey, but I didn't think it sounded right as the name of a magazine.I still wanted something along the same lines and still something associated with music. In the end, I decided upon 'encore'. It is still to do with music, but sounds a lot better and is far more catchy.

Photoshoot

Unfortunatley, my friend (Lucy) had to cancel our second photoshoot last minute, so I could no longer use her as my main model. Instead, I arranged a photoshoot with another friend (Esther) and used her instead. I took all of my photos of esther for the front cover, double page spread and contents page in one day, and then just used the few photos I already had of Lucy on my contents page.
For this second photo with my new model, I decided to use a camera from school. This is because it produces photograpghs of far better quality than the camera I had used originally, but was still easy to use.
I took photos from various distances, angles and with different effects.

Music Magazine Pitch

Artist Identity

I created a mindmap that summed up the identity of the artist/singer that I am going to use in my magazine article. I thought about their image, name, the music genre and the article itself.

These are images of celebrities that have a similar fashion sense and style to what I want my artist to have/look like. I used celebrities that are also often featured on magazines that are aimed at and try to represent a similar audience to my magazine.

 I also looked at what kind of clothes my artist/model will be wearing. I went on clothes websites that girls ages 11-15 (my target audience) would shop on (like newlook) but I also went on clothes websites that girls slightly older (the age that my featured artist would be) because I want her to be someone the audience can look up and aspire to be like, and various found items of clothing that would be suitable for my artist to be wearing in my magazine.

Front Cover Second Draft

This is the second draft of my magazine front cover that I created on Fireworks. It changed slightly from the first draft I made: I swapped the side that the puff and 'other features' are on, edited the background to make it more pink/ombre, and moved the masthead to the side of the page.

To create this more detailed design, first I had to decide on a name/masthead. To do this, I referred to my questionnaire/survey. One of the names suggested was 'sound', which I really liked. I chose the font and font size next. I thought that it should be bold and in a large font to make it stand out more.
Next, I chose a colour scheme. I did some research into teen pop magazines, and found that a popular colour was pink as they are aimed at younger teenage girls. For the background, I wanted to do an ombre pink effect- to keep the colour scheme going. I created a block pink background then used fireworks to make it go from darker to lighter. I also used pink, black and white for the text to stick to the colour scheme.
As my double page spread is about an artist called Olivia Weston, I made her the focus on my front cover. I made her name in a different (and quite girly) font anda  larger size. I will later add a close up of her to the cover.
