The document appears to be notes from a photo shoot and magazine design project. It includes photos from the shoot, notes on different masthead designs that were considered, edits made to photos for the cover, and an evaluation of the completed front cover design. The front cover features a photo of an artist, with text introducing her as a new artist and promoting an interview with her inside the magazine. The design uses bold fonts and colors that match the genre of music to attract the target audience.

1. Photo shoot Plan

2. Contact SheetThis was too over
exposed to use
The stance in this
didn’t go well with
what I wanted for
the cover.
This one would
look good on
the double
page spread.
The close
framing helps
add detail.
This pose
could be
for either
the front
cover or
the
double
page
spread.
The use
of the

work
really
well with

The
texture
of the

looks
really
well
the
bright
lights.
The lighting
works well,
however the
guitar isn’t in
shot.

3. Masthead Designs
The 3D look didn’t go well with how I
wanted my magazine to look. The colour
is too faded and wouldn’t have stood
out.
I chose to go with this one because of it’s
bold font. The font works well to show
what genre the magazine is.
The font wasn’t bold enough and the
colour wouldn’t work with the magazine.
However the dark shadow is a really
good effect.
The font isn’t clear enough for a magazine
masthead. The use of the purple for the
shadow does have a good live gig effect.
This font was too much for a magazine
cover. It wouldn’t have looked good
stretched across the front cover.
However, the use of one letter in colour
is a technique.
The bold font does work well and it is a
good use of the colour. However it
doesn’t show what genre the
magazine is.

4. Making the Front Cover
Decreasing the
exposure helped
give the picture
warmth and more
detail in the face.
Softening the
photograph makes it
look more
professional and
smooth. Adding a
vintage filter helped
match with the type
of magazine.
Cropping the photo
helped me frame
the artist a lot better.

5. The Completed Front Cover

6. Evaluate Front Cover
The name means to
be unable to sleep. I
thought this name
would be a fun way to
describe the
magazine. It works
well because of it’s
bold font. It works well
to show what genre
the magazine is.
This filler links to the artist on
the front and guides you to
the right page. The colour
works well with what the artist
has on, on the cover. The use
of the bold works well to get
attention.
This pull out goes well
with the filler above it.
The use of quotations
shows that it is part of the
interview.
The use of larger text in the pull
out helps bring out the main
part of the story, intrigue the
audience. The use of the artist
helps attract the target
audience.
This is mainly for the
target audience.
The sub heading is catchy
and straight to the point.
The audience know that
there is a new artist on
the scene and could
intrigue them to want to
know what her. The use of
her name and then the
colon helps with knowing
who the artist is and leads
to why she’s in the
magazine.
The use of the new artist
on the magazine cover
will attract the target
audience. If they know
of her or not. The use of
the guitar shows the
audience what music
she plays, showing the
genre of magazine too.
The barcode if the
finishing touch. Where it
is placed it doesn’t get
in the way of any text.
The use of the guitar adds
texture to the photo and
the cover.
