Initial Ideas

Initial Ideas

For my new music magazine, I have decided to go with the genre Indie. This is because I am quite familiar with the music as well as certain artists and bands. My target audience for my music magazine will be between the ages of 16-30 relevant for males and females. Because the magazine is Indie, this will probably relate to people who have an interest in the music (like myself) as well as the images, interviews and vice versa.

Evaluation of School Magazine

Production Of School Magazine Front Cover and Contents Page

This is my front cover for my magazine compared to my sketch there has been a few changes such as larger fonts, better image and also a change of the price. On my original front cover, I wanted the magazine to be free however I have put the magazine up to £1 and put the issue number at the top near the barcode. I am quite pleased with my front cover as I follow various codes and conventions.

This is my contents page and compared to my sketch it has a completely different layout. I have put the images on the left hand side and the text on the right. I have included contact details at the bottom of the page as well as the date of the next issue. Although I am pleased with the contents page, there would be quite a few things I would improve.

Final Images for School Magazine

My Final Images

These are the images I finally chose for my School Magazine

This is the image I used for my magazine front cover. I really liked this image as its of a student sat in a library in front of a shelf of books which connotates school.

I also used this for my contents page as it relates to my article

Finally, I used this image aswell as it worked well with my article and contents

Photographs for School Magazine

Photographs for My School Magazine

I used this image for my magazine as it related to one of my articles "IRIS Prizes to be Won"

I also used this imge on my contents page because, it again, related to a particular article.

This was the other image I used on my contents page becuase it related to the "Top of The Class" article.

Unfortantely, I did not use this image as it wouldnt match my colour scheme and it wouldnt be relevant to any of my articles.

As you can see this image is blury and the student was not ready for the shot. I will probably not be using this image for my magazine.

For this shot, I was aiming to use this for my front cover. I liked this photo and thought it would be suitable. However, the student is directly in the middle of the page and it might not look right when the text will be added around it.
