Evaluation
My Music magazine follows similar layout styles and colour schemes of exsisting music magazine products, i have looked into ways for showing text more easily with transparent boxes etc. Through out my music magazine i have maintained a colour scheme, house styles and fonts etc. to keep consistancy throughout which i feel makes the magazine more professional. I have added shapes and stars to brighten up and make the magazine more lively, i have also used full background pictures in my double page spread for a busy music magazine style containing lots of different types of music based items. Throughout the production of my magazine i have constantly changed every page to make it fit all together and work professionaly. I Started of at looking at many different types of fonts but then narrowed it down to only a few and then just decided that it was best to keep consistancy throughout the magazine and it would look more professional, i started off with a colour picture on the front but when it was in black and white it gave a better effect and made the singer look larger and more powerful as i wanted this as it was an up and comming band. i maintained the house style through out by keeping the magazine consistant with the same colors and fonts i also gave it a house style by the photos i used some were photos of music and technology some of a band and my front cover a singer looking down on the camera gives a good music magazine feel and made look like my genre house by the fonts i selected and the colours.
Music Magazine Drafts
These are my original drafts for my music magazine but are going to be changed for one reason or another such as i dont think it fits the design brief of a music magazine, i think the house style will have to be tweaked slightly to look more like a music magazine.Taking photos for the Music Magazine
I experimented with different photos for my 3 Music Magazine pages i took different photos in different locations changing things such as lighting and filters untill i found photos i was happy with i then edited these photos so they looked more professional and more appealing above are some examples of photos i took eventually using some of these in my final music magazine.Looking at Fonts and Styles
I looked at many different types of fonts to go on the front of my music magazine i wanted to have a font i could have right through my magazine to keep consistancy throughout my work. i mainly used a website called DaFont.com above are four examples that i looked at. I later use the last Font but add colour instead of where it is black.
Looking at Music Magazines
I then moved on to look at music magazine front covers. looking at the formatting style and how the magazine was layed out. these are two examples of NME magazines we looked at.
Music Magazine Coursework
My music magazine is based around house music and Djing i was told to make a Front cover , Contents page and Double page spread. my magazine is called Bright Lights it has a dark red and white colour sceme on all of the pages this keeps consistancy throughout the Magazine. I Started off by looking at music magazines already on the market.
Readership Profile
This is my readership profile looking at how i researched my target audience, including my questionnaire results, and what my target audience like and would want in there music magazine.My College Magazine
