FINAL PIECES

DOUBLE-PAGE SPREAD DEVELOPMENT

i started with this kind of style for my double page spread because I really like the idea of having a block of pictures down at the bottom. unfortunately my interview does not fit on the page properly and I have had to result to making an extra page which is below:

This is as far as i got in creating the second page for my interview. I am not entirely sure about it yet and of course, there are things that I will ammend and change.

This next screenshot is of my doublepage spread that I have yet again adapted. i decided that I wanted all of my interview to fot onto one page, so I moved the main photo over and also minimised the pictures in the boxes in the hope that I could fit all of the interview on. I have also changed the pink interviewer typo to grey because I liked how the green stood out quite a lot.

This time I changed the layout slightly, swtiching the pictures from one side to the other. I think it looks better like this because the interview looks neater. I like to think that this is more or less finished but there are still some things I can add to it.

DOUBLE-PAGE SPREAD RESEARCH

I love the layout of this double-page spread because it is very clear to read and the colours are very consecutive. I don't like how boxy the page is, however, for it is set out in a very certain way.

This double page spread to the right is one of my favourites in my research. I love the way the title is set out, for it is in accorance with the picture because of the model's dark hair. I also like how there a hints of red in and around the text, clearly linking the picture to the text.,

Like the first one, this page is quite boxy. However, I do like how this double page spread uses the picture in accorance with the title, like the one before. The title is very eye-catching and when I create my double-page spread, I hope to be able to do the same thing. On this one and the one before, they both share the feature of having the first letter of the text as a capital. I love this idea, for it signals the start of the text and also makes it more interesting.

This last double-page spread that I looked at is much more rocky than the other three. I love how this double-page spread is set out, with the black and white pictures, the column on the right breaks up the text a bit and the title is extremely eye-catching. By making 'THE BEST MCR' in white a bigger than the rest of the title, it inrigues the reader to read on to the actual text. The colours are all consecutive, which is what I will aim for also.

Elaborating on the Kerrang double-page spread from before, I have cut out the pictures from the bottom because I love the effect. The article is about My Chemical Romance recording their new album and these pictures definitely show that. When I create my double-page spread I plan to use at least four pictures like this magazine has to enhance the interest of my reader.

DEVELOPMENT OF CONTENTS PAGE

As of at the moment, this is my final contents page. I have focused on one of the contents page that I found in my research. I have taken the idea of having a big picture on one side of the page and then a bar of information on the other. The colours continue from that of the front cover, also complimenting the darkness of the picture.

DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC FRONT COVER

This is the busiest I have managed to get my fron cover. I like the continuity of colour and I have also decided to change the font and colour of 'IVA' because it is much more bold as of this one. I have yet to put on more information but I really think this draft is one of my best. The one above is a continued version of the one to the left. This is the best draft I have come up with, I think, and I'm very likely to keep this one.

This is my first start to my front cover of my magazine. I have positioned the PULSE just above the model's head, because this was shown in a lot of my research on the fron covers. I'm still not sure about the colouring and the font of the 'IVA' next to the model's head. I have also been playing around with a phrase or something to use to support 'IVA'.

SECOND PHOTO SHOOT

THESE ARE THE FEW FAVOURITES THAT I PICKED OUT

I love the bright red in this picture, although it is slightly blurred. I like the angle of the camera. The picture with the headphones would be good for my double page spread or my contents page. I won't use it for my front cover because I would like a picture of her whole body. The picture with the 'peace out' on the chalkboard is also another favourite. I like the humble look on her face also accompanied by the high camera angle. I think these picutres are aimed at teenage girls.

These next two pictures are two of my favourite. Although I like the one on the left with the head phones, i would not use it on my front cover because her face is not visible. Although I really like the picture. It really captures the essence of music and I think teenagers could relate to it because most teens have an ipod accompanied by headphones, which they listen to their favourite bands on. It highlights the fact that the magazine is all about music. The picture below is my favourite, I think. It shows innocence, which I believe is relevant for this artist, aiming her music towards an audience of teenage girls. This would be a very good potential front cover photograph.

This picture above is a good one because it is quite personal to the reader. They would see the hand reaching out and feel as if the artist is directly addressing them. It is a fun picture, allowing the artist and the reader to be light hearted. The photo to the right is a little more serious, like some of my research on photographs. This will probably be used on  my contents page or double page spread. The two pictures below also show light heartedness like the one above. I love the angle of the one on the left. Her facial expression shows lightheartness, fun and laughter. I think this could be good with the idea of innocence. The picture below on the right is also a bit of fun whilst also being quite aggresive. I will definitely use this picture on the double page spread.
