Additional features were chosen based on what was promised on the cover to provide more information to the target audience. An exclusive interview with artist Bantu is highlighted to maintain cohesion with what was mentioned on the cover.
Shot List
This document provides instructions for different photo shots of a model for a magazine cover and spread. It describes 10 different shots ranging from close-ups to mid-shots to long shots. For each shot, it specifies the angle of gaze, positioning of hands or body, facial expressions, and other details to capture the model in a natural yet intentional way to portray different moods and personalities for the artistic spread.
Examples of Photograph Manipulation
These are some examples of Photograph Manipulations that I did whilst working on the front cover of my magazine.
Final Shot/Mise-en-Scene
This document discusses the final shot chosen for the cover of a music magazine called "TRILL". The shot is a mid-shot of the male model facing sideways, looking away from the camera at eye-level. He is wearing a plain white button-up shirt and flower crown. The shot was chosen to present the male artist in a feminine way and make him seem mysterious. Other shots were rejected for being out of focus or having distracting elements like a jacket.
Contents fonts and features
The document discusses the font and features used on the contents page of an indie/indie rock magazine designed by the author. The font is consistent throughout and is capitalized for readability and visual appeal. Common magazine sections like reviews and quizzes are included to make the magazine more realistic and engaging for readers. Graphics like arrows link different sections and maintain a minimalist aesthetic. Photos from concerts are used to lend authenticity.
Evaluation question 7
1) Comparing their preliminary magazine to the music magazine, the author saw improvements in their layout and image skills from researching existing magazines.
2) For the preliminary magazine, the images looked less professional and similar, while the music magazine images fit the genre and had more variety in poses.
3) Planning and research was more limited for the preliminary task, while an in-depth plan and shot list helped make the music magazine look more realistic.
Photo Manipulation
The document discusses using various photo manipulation tools in Photoshop to edit a model's photograph. It describes using Levels to brighten colors, Magnetic Lasso Tool to selectively brighten hair, Curves to reduce eye bags and shadows, Spot Healing Brush to remove blemishes and hair, and Hue/Saturation to alter eye and lip colors. The goal is to catch the target audience's eye and make the photo look more professional and aesthetically appealing.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses how the author's indie pop music magazine represents various social groups. The target audience is 16-20 year olds, so the author based the magazine's style and content around their own tastes and interests at age 17. Images in the magazine depict indie pop concert crowds and fans to represent the diverse social groups that listen to indie pop music, including listings of various indie pop artists on the cover. The magazine's laidback yet sophisticated style and use of hashtags and QR codes are meant to appeal to the target audience's technology usage.
Contents Page Deconstruction
The document discusses conventions used in magazine contents pages that could inspire the design of the author's own contents page. Specifically, it notes using lines to separate titles and subtitles, highlighting the cover story, continuing background colors over images, adding drop shadows to images, including pull quotes to catch interest, using graphics to showcase skills, and using complementary colors to attract audiences and display important information. The author intends to incorporate these conventions that make contents pages look sophisticated, clear, and attract target audiences.
Shots List Explanation
The document discusses potential photo shoot ideas for the cover of an indie pop music magazine. It proposes 12 different photo concepts featuring an artist, with a focus on incorporating props that represent the indie aesthetic like flower crowns, large hats, guitars, and scenic backgrounds. The goals are to attract the target audience by creating pleasing and intriguing images that reflect the fashion and artistic styles associated with indie pop music.
DPS Stand First.
This shows the research I have done into stand firsts in music magazines as well as attempting my own.
Masthead decisions
The document discusses the process of selecting and refining a font for a magazine masthead. The author initially chose an "acid dripping font" but realized it better represented horror genres rather than their alternative R&B music magazine theme. Feedback prompted changing the soft masthead font, as it did not match the bold cover fonts and had low quality. After further research emulating a similar real magazine, the author found a font that complemented the blocky magazine style better.
Contents page colour choices
The document discusses color scheme choices for a contents page. It mentions swapping some images used and changing one photo's main color to purple. The text keeps a red and black color scheme to link to the front cover, with headings in red, subheadings in red, and descriptions in gray. Limiting the colors was meant to make the page look more professional and eye-catching without clashing colors or a busy appearance.
Flat plan deconstruction
This document summarizes the sources of inspiration for different elements of a music magazine cover and layout. For the front cover, inspiration was taken from poses and graphics of existing magazine covers. The contents page drew from column structures of other magazines.

Target audience feedback
Three people provided feedback on a magazine cover design. Sradha liked the engaging main image, simple color scheme, and large artist name. Hannah liked the makeup image but thought the issue number should be on the front. Zoya liked the wordplay with the model's hat matching the quote and cover lines standing out, but thought some blank spaces could be filled.
Contents page research
The document summarizes the process of creating a contents page for a magazine. It was inspired by the contents pages of "Billboard" and "We Heart Pop" magazines. Elements borrowed from "Billboard" include using its logo, positioning two featured artist images at the top of the page similarly, and using two colors of text (maroon and black) to indicate what each page is about. Elements from "We Heart Pop" include placing the magazine logo at the top, featuring a main image, including an editor's note, and adding color behind the text for visual appeal. The creator aimed to design a contents page that looked professional by drawing from conventions used in other popular music magazines.
Final Masthead Decisions
The document discusses font choices for a masthead. It decides on a sans serif, bold, capitalized font to stand out to the target audience, following conventions of magazines like Billboard and Top of the Pops. It then describes editing the font on Photoshop, resizing letters to emphasize "pop" and highlight the genre, and changing the color to match the model's lipstick for cohesion.
Interview research
The document discusses research done into interview styles for pop music publications. It was found that a question and answer format is most common, with conventions like having the artist's name prominently displayed, a brief description under the title, questions focused on a topic like a new album, and answers from the artist that provide career details or gossip in an engaging way for readers of pop music magazines.
