1. In these slides I have combined the ideas from my style
sheet along with my final ideas for flat plans. This paints
a clearer picture of what I want the finished product to
look like, as well as giving me a plan to work from when
I come to take my photographs.
I have chosen to use a darker purple than originally
intended because in some feedback I received, people
thought that lilac was a more feminine colour. I asked
what would make it more gender neutral and people
thought that a deeper more pastel purple would be
better.
2. I chose to use this kind of
picture because in my
research I found that the
majority of front covers us
mid-shots of a
person/band. They do this
so that the reader feels
instantly connected to the
person on the magazine
cover, and therefore with
the magazine. This makes
it seem more personal to
you, making you want to
buy it.
3. For the contents page I have
chosen to use a range of
studio and live shots, this is to
show the variation of cover
lines within the magazine.
This helps to show that the
magazine isn’t just about one
thing, it is variable and has
something for everyone.
Therefore it appeals to a
larger target audience. I have
used a range of photos from
close up, to long shot. This is
so the audience feels like they
know the bands from every
angle and also gives the
magazine more visual
variation.
4. For the DPS I wanted
both pages to feel
connected, so I have
chosen photographs that
interact with each other.
I have chosen a variety of
shots, ranging from long shots to
close up. This gives the reader more
visual information about the person
they are reading about, so they feel
as if they know more about them.
