- 2. STYLE SHEET -FONTS Aural - I like the style of this font as I think it looks quite young and will suit my target audience. It’s a unique font so I think that this would draw people in. I also think it looks sophisticated so I think this would look good on a front cover so therefore I shall use this. I like the style of this font as I think it looks simple yet effective as the text would still stand out on a front cover but will also appeal to an older target audience as well. I like the style of this font as its bold and would stand out against other magazines. It would also draw people in as the clarity of it is clean. However with it being bold it is too similar to other music magazines out there so it doesn't have a unique selling point.
- 3. STYLE SHEET –FONT COLOURS I think using the colour black will be effective as its simple yet will still stand out against the background if I used a bright, bold background colour. However a majority of magazines use this colour so its not unique. I like the colour of this font as its quite faded but could still look effective against a bright background. However, I don’t think it would stand out compared to other magazines as it isn’t bright or engaging. This plum colour will stand out and will draw people into the magazine, encouraging people to read it. I therefore think this is a good colour to use. I think this colour would be good to use and is gender neutral, so I can then go on to keep it this way.
- 4. STYLE SHEET –SAMPLE IMAGES I have included a few sample images of what pictures I’d like to include on my front cover and how I’d like it set out. I’ll also include some suggestions of how I may like my two page spread set out.
- 5. FRONT PAGE DUMMY Imade 3 different plans for what I would like my front cover to look like when it was completed. I decide to chose the first one as I thought this included the most information on the front cover which would attract the target audience.
- 6. FRONT PAGE DUMMY Dummy1 – This dummy is a basic layout of how I may like my magazine to be designed like. Dummy 2 – This dummy is more detailed using a picture of the band ‘Peace’ and stories from an NME magazine. I’d quite like my magazine to look like this. Final piece – This is my complete front cover.
- 7. CONTENTS PAGE DUMMY Imade 3 different plans of how I would like my contents page to be spread out. Contents pages are usually crammed with lots of different interesting and entertaining so I wanted to also use that so I decided to go with the second plan.
- 8. CONTENTS PAGE DUMMY Dummy1 – This dummy is a basic layout of how I’d like my contents page to look as I think there is a good text to image ratio and the content will engage people. Dummy 2 – This is more detailed as it shows what sort of pictures I would like to use and how I’d like it set out. Final piece – Here is my final contents page.
- 9. DOUBLE PAGE SPREADDUMMY I made 3 different layouts of what I’d like my double page spread to look like. I found it difficult deciding between a simple double page spread or one which includes a lot of information. I decided to go for my second choice which is my third layout. I thought that this would be more effective and eye catching.
- 10. DOUBLE PAGED SPREADDUMMY Dummy 2 – I want my magazine to be set out like this as I think there is a good image to text ratio. This will engage my reader. Dummy 1 – This is a simple layout of what I would like my double paged spread to be like. Final piece – This is my finished double paged spread.
- 11. PHOTOGRAPHY PLANNING On thefirst picture circled I got 3 girls, who are the band from my magazine, to sit on the floor in certain positions. I then took this picture as a long shot to get in their full bodies. The second photo uses a prop which is a chair for them to pose on. On the third they were stood up posing too. All of these shots were long shots to get their fully body. The fourth was of a band which is a long shot as well to show them playing their instruments. The next picture is a close up of the sign outside where the gig was. The next two pictures are medium close ups which I have used as singular pictures. The final picture is a medium close up as well of another band who I have based my review on. These 3 photos below are what I based my three main images on as I think they best represent a girl band and they also show direct address.
