Question 1 of 7 from GeorgeAnderton21

Front Cover development

This is the development of my front cover. To make my magazine i used the software Adobe Photoshop. Firstly, as you an see i started off with a blank screen and then i went out to take some photos; the two  photos shown were my two favorite and the rest can be found on another post. I then decided on the photo of my model smiling as i felt this looked better. After choosing my image i had to come up with a masthead, for this i took inspiration off Travis Scott and named it after one of his songs 'Coordinate'. I picked this font as i took it off another hip-hop magazine called 'Fader' but i changed it around to make it look different and stand out more, as the Fader magazine only had a box around the F. Next i need to come up with a sell line, i chose to have Lil Fabes and a some words to describe him, as it is y artists name and this is what gets the reader attracted to the magazine. After that, i added in the bar-code, price, date and issue number, as these are some of the main conventions that a magazine needs. Finally, after i got my work back, after some feedback i needed to fill some space in the top left side of the page, therefore i added in the tag line to try and sell the magazine more and to show off whats inside.

Contents page development

This is the development of my contents. Firstly, i started off looking at other magazines for inspiration and some layout ideas, some of this research can be found on my blog. I then got to work and created my flat plan. Which looked like the image below. After i had created this i then did some more research and i realised i prefered another design. As a result of this i scrapped flat plan and started on my new contents page. I begun with a blank page in which i then added on the issue number and title, this is to keep reminding the reader what the magazine was so they can buy it again. Next, i added in a subheading and page numbers, the page numbers are to help the reader identify where the page is of the information they want. I then added on the context of the pages. I used some of the same ideas from my flat plan and then came up with come more. After that, I added in a place holder photo of Tyler The Creator whilst I took my own. After i had taken and chosen the photos i added them into the right places and wrote the photographers name. Before submitting my work i then change my photo to another one of my main models.

Double page spread development

This is my double page spread development. I started off by doing some research into existing double page spreads, to look at the lay outs, texts and pictures. I then created a mood board of all my ideas and did some analysis. I then created some drafts of my double page, which are on another post. After that, i then started to make my final double page; as you can see i started off with a blank screen and added in a middle margin for a guide line. Next, i went off and took some more photos, as i have taken some previously. I added in the photo i most liked and then put the page numbers on, as this is a key convention. Next, i came up with a quote, title and subheading and added it onto my work. Before this i had wrote a draft article which i wrote some more of and then placed it onto my work. As i had a lot of space at the bottom of my page, i needed to fill it. Therefore, i added in a place holder photo and then took a proper photo on a later date.

My plan for the week

For this week i will be writing my final evaluation, for this i will be working along side my seven draft questions to make them better and more detailed.
