Double Page Draft 1

I have created my first double page spread draft of my music magazine, which has; benefited me and given me ideas of keeping most features the same, for instance, by showing my intended audience. In order, to be certain my double page spread attracted my intended audiences and had the correct type of features such as; font, images and colour scheme. My intended audience reacted into a positive way such as: they liked the image used in my double page as it was a long shot and the persons facial expression showed attitude as this is meant to be portrayed in R&B genre: therefor I kept most features the same.

Contents Page Draft 1

I have created my first contents page draft of my music magazine which has; benefited me and given me an idea of changes I could make to it for instance, by showing my intended audience. In order to make sure my contents page attracted my intended audiences and had the correct features such as; font and images I showed my intended audience and acquired feedback. My audience had many negative aspects such as; the colour of the font and the size of my image, therefore I made changes to this to improve my magazine.

Front Cover Draft 1

As seen above this is my first front cover draft; I have created of my music magazine as it can give me an idea of what my intended audience thought of it. In order to make sure my front cover attracted audiences and looked correct, I showed my intended audience this front cover. My intended audience did not like the entire colour of the font gold, therefore I changed it. Showing my intended audience this benefited me by realising many negative aspects of this front cover such as the; masthead not very enlarged, font colour and my cover also looking plain.

Explanation of images; As a part of my music magazine coursework, I took many images for example, I took many different shots such as; mid, full and a mixture. I took these appropriate shots as they are suitable for a music magazine and are meant to be the type of shots portrayed in a music magazine. It was important that I took mid shots and full shots as mid shots are portrayed in the front cover and full shots are mainly portrayed in the double page spread of a music magazine.

In order, to get the correct type of composition and lighting. I took my images many times over again. This is because some of images did not work out; for instance, some of images were taken in bad weather conditions and in some of my images I did not get the balance or composition right. Another issue why some of my images had to be taken again was due to incorrect lighting: some of the lighting in my images was either too bright or to dark, therefore I took my images over again to get the type of appropriate images.

The images, I might use in my coursework are; the ones that have come out with a correct lighting and balance. For instance, in my contact sheet above: SAM_0245 an appropriate mid shot image mainly the ones taken in a white background shown above. The images I have chosen to use are the ones taken in a white background; I have chosen to use those images because they are easier to use and place on white background, as the background in my magazine is going to be plain white.
