 Reckless Life I believe would be the most ideal name. Its is also a very popular song
by Guns N Roses which is a link I believe my target audience will recognise. The
meaning can be interpreted in different ways and therefore means it does not exclude
any gender, social classes, or races etc.

3.  This has been constructed
around how the front cover
will hopefully look. The
layout has been designed
to be a model of how it
should look. The images
and quotes have been
chosen to represent the
genre and the layout of the
text on the second page
has again been constructed
to act as model for the
double page spread .

4.  I would like to have quite a simple mast head but very bold and bunt. Something that
will catch the eye of passers by but will not take the attention away form my main
image as it is intended to be creative and eye-catching for each issue. It also means it
will be more memorable and there fore recognisable to the intended target audience.
 The I in Life seems to be a good place to start. The idea was to
change it with an image of either a sword to represent recklessness or
a guitar to represent the rock genre. It is quite simple and will not take
long to constructor take an image of one of the two.
 There is also the idea to change the colour of one letter either the I
in Life or the E in Reckless or the first letter of each word. The
majority of the lettering will be black but depending on the colour
scheme chosen it could look quite effective yet very simple.

6.  Here are a few ideas for colour schemes. As
your colour scheme is one of the most
important things to consider below are a few
different ones. Originally lots of bright colours
seemed to be what I was leaning towards but
after some research it seemed that one colour
mixed with shades was more fitting for the
genre. The two on the right are more affective.
The bottom one is very much like the mood
board and as that was very effective it may be
that it would be the most appropriate and fitting
for my genre.

8.  I would like to use a band as models for the photo shoot. I have worked with one
before during my A2 work and believe they could create a good image. I have already
taken some practice shots of them individually which put together may be used for the
contents page.
 However for the front cover I wish to use the image I created for my mood board as it
stands out and is quite different. I may make some slight change but overall the idea
of it fits the genre rather well.
 For the double page spread I wish to use a simple shot of them to bring out their ‘true
self's’. It will again be a group shot but it may be a silhouette instead of the ‘clear’
picture.
