Today i took my photo for my magazine cover. My front page photo is of a man passed out on the lilo, with a bottle of alcohol,a pack of cigarettes and an electric guitar. This magazine is based on the theme of Rock. I want to convey to the audience that this person on the front of the cover has had a really heavy but good night. Just like the 'Rock N Roll' lifestyle that has always been known to the public. The front cover is going to be quite stylish and quite plain as i want it to look modern and trendy. Its only going to be the title and the picture. The picture is going to be a full bleed picture.
To make it look more sleek and trendy i took the photo from colour
to black and white
The contents page used a more loose type of font, in a more attractive wild font that would attract the target audience which in this case is rock n roll fans who are quite loose and open to the idea of random and colourful fonts. I also included four main stories and their titles as well as pages on other bands as well. I have two pictures that were to do with the text on the contents page. They included a pictures of champagne, a passed out celebrity in a jacuzzi and a cigarette and a direct question asking if the reader would like a chance to live this lifestyle. Also on that page is a picture of a different musician and the magazine has included a new free track from this musicians new album. The pictures used on the content are below.
On the double page spread three photos were used to display the main story throughout the magazine with a musician named Ollie 'The Slumdog' Stone. The left hand page of the spread has 3 photos showing the cycle of his life. They are
The start of the night, when the musician is looking at his best and very dapper. He is also wearing his glasses to partially hide his face like a lot of celebrities do. I changed this photo to black and white so that the rockstar looks more chilled out, relaxed and a cool rockstar role model.
This is the middle of the rockstars night and as we can see her has two women wanting a photo with him and he still has his glasses with him on his jumper. This shows that he's got that rockstar attraction for girls to want photos with him. Here i boosted the colour of the photo so that it would make all the people have a positive glow about them.
Here we see the rockstar has passed out with a cigarette in his mouth and his top off, passed out in a jacuzzi. This shows that he has had a crazy night out and has been a true rockstar. Here i also faded out a bit of the colour to make the picture seem more early morning
On the right hand side we have two columns worth of interviewing between the musician and interviewer. Two different fonts are used to differentiate the interviewer from the musician. Also the musician's speech has speech marks to let the reader know his exact words. I used a large white italic stylish font and a black background so that they both would clearly contrast each other.
These where the final results of this project
The Front Page, The Contents Page And The Double Page Spread
