During my research I found this example of a double
page article from VIBE magazine. I was attracted to this
particular article as I like the way the image has a whole
page to itself, giving it more of an opportunity to attract
the readers’ attention. But mainly, I like that way that
the model in the image is posing in a way that is relating
to the text on the other page; he is looking like he is
shocked, while facing and holding his arms open in the
direction of the text. As I really liked this idea of relating
the image to the text by the positioning of the model, I
decided I would use this for my image on my double
page article. I used this article from VIBE magazine as
inspiration but made sure it didn’t look exactly the
same, which is why I have placed my image onto the
other side of the page. However, I ensured that it
followed the convention of VIBE magazine as both my
magazine and VIBE have a similar primary and
secondary audience, meaning that if I use their ideas I
will attract a similar audience, like I hoped. I have
followed with the dance/pop genre on this page also by
using a lot of black from my house style, attracting my
RISK V VIBE
As I was using VIBE
magazine as an inspiration
for my design, I wanted to
use a lot of their techniques
as I wanted to attract the
same primary audience, this
is because both VIBE
magazine and my magazine
provide for the same
audience; meaning that the
way they present their
magazine is similar to how
mine should be. I saw that
on this double page article
from VIBE, they used three
columns of text and I really
liked the way this filled out
the page nicely and left
plenty of room for a big
image. This is why I used
RISK V VIBE
The only thing I asked my model to wear was a jacket, this was so we could use it to help with the edgy feel of my magazine; this was created by the
model covering part of her face with the jacket. I also wanted to use this as I thought it created a sense of mystery to the magazine, which would
attract a bigger audience. After looking at VIBE magazine, which is similar to mine, I was mainly attracted to the images of Nicki Minaj as she is
wearing really bright make up and her hair is such a vibrant colour. I decided to use this as inspiration for my magazine and therefore edited my image
for my double page article in Photoshop. I manipulated the image to make her hair brighter, her eyes brighter and added some lipstick. Not only does
this make the image and article look a lot more interesting, it also connotes fun and supports the music genre as the bright colours are up-beat, like
the music.
RISK V VIBE
For all of my images for my magazine, I took them all in a photography studio. I wanted
my front cover image to be set on a white screen background as this looks professional
and is also suitable for a front cover as the white space leaves a lot of space for sub
headings. I looked at other magazines such as VIBE, NME and Elektro only to see that
all of those magazines use close ups for their front cover images. I wanted to use this
technique for my magazine but also wanted to be original, so I used a medium close up
for my image as this shows more of the model and their outfit. I got my model to wear a
jacket as a prop as I wanted her to hide part of her face, which connotes mystery to the
magazine and will therefore tempt the audience to buy and read it. My model has red hair
but when I was editing the image in Photoshop, I changed the levels of vibrancy so that
her hair has brighter in order to stand out more to the audience and also follow the edgy
connotations I was trying to create throughout the magazine. I was also influenced to
brighten up the models hair as on one of the VIBE magazine front covers, Nicki Minaj has
bright hair and I thought this was a great way of attracting your target audience. As the
genre of my magazine is dance/pop music I thought that brightening the hair and eyes of
the model would add to the upbeat feel of this kind of music. However due to the way the
dance music scene is rather edgy, I asked my model to cover part of her face with the
jacket she was wearing; again, creating and edgy and mysterious feel.
