Research and Planning: Music Magazine Finished (Final)

Research and Planning: Music Magazine Finished (Old)

Evaluation question 7

This is a comparison between my Music magazine and the College magazine which was made back in September/ October.

Evaluation: Question 6

 I only used Flickr in my evaluation.
however i learnt how to add photos and add additional information.

 I used Photoshop to make my magazine. I used tools such as the magic wand tool in order to best cut out the parts of my images that i need the most. I used the gradient tool on the double page spread to slowly turn the tree background to the dark black. the drop shadow was also used to make my titles, and sometimes subtitles stand out more. etc.

 I took the pictures that went onto my magazine with an SLR Camera.

 Blogger is what i am using to present my Research and Planning since September.

I used prezi a couple of times, to display certain information

 iPhoto was used as the main source of transferring the photos from the camera to the computer in order to get them into photoshop.

 I used indesign for my contents page.

Evaluation Question 5

Evaluation Question 4

The audience for my magazine would stereotypical have long/medium length hair. Wear black clothing (mainly shirts, jackets etc). A pair of jeans. mt target audience would probably shop somewhere local, for a small amount but then go to a large supermarket for a weekly shop. they would be into rock and or metal and also be fairly adventurous going to gigs to see the bands that they like.(eg Five Finger Death Punch). I would imagine someone of my target audience would like programs such as game of thrones or similar.
I believe a person such as this may be interested in my magazine because if they are interested in gigging then maybe they are also interested in playing music, therefore they would like my magazine because it offers them the opportunity to win different instruments.

Evaluation: Question 2

 

This is a picture off of the front cover of my music magazine. 

The posture appears to be the same as both of the people in the photos are standing straight on, with their head tilted slightly and their chin raise a bit the angle used was medium angle and the shot type was a medium close up showing the shoulders and face this gives the impression that they are quite headstrong characters as they are facing straight on, with a serious look, which is stereotypical for a male character as males are typically quite headstrong.

 The expression that both are using I would say is one that just shows dis-concern, this agrees with the Stereotype that men are hardy, the impression that is given generally shows that it doesn't matter what happens they wont be too concerned about it. however it also gives the impression that they are in control of the situation. for example in the story the band Solid broke up, but instead of crying about it the artist Will Saxon is moving on immediately and becoming a solo artist this shows the stereotypical male character of not caring or unconcerned by things that are out of their control.

They are both wearing dark attire with a brighter looking shirt underneath the dark jacket. the lighting is very similar as it shines from the left of the model onto their face, casting a shadow onto the right of their chin; however on my magazine the shadow is not cast as much. The way that my model is posing and the facial expression used gives a serious impression of the young adult male. I believe this because he is stood straight eyes fixed forwards.

Evaluation Question 1

Research and Planning: Model Release Forms

(Sorry about the quality, my scanner is a bit awkward at times)

Research and Planning: Work Done 12

A finished version of my cover and almost finished version of my double page spread.
Quick note the changes made between these took an additional 5 hours which is why the changes are so extreme from work done 11 to 12.

Research and Planning: Shot list

- I would like to get a medium close up, or a medium shot for my front cover, following the convention of other rock/metal magazines.
- I need another shot like these, hopefully the opposite to what i have originally done in the front cover for my double page spread. this will add a bit of variety o the shots at least.
