Reflection of the week - Week 3

I managed to make good progress on my first draft attempt but I had to use trial and error a lot which had set me back a fair bit due to this being the second time I've used Photoshop as the first time was the preliminary task. With the software being new to me I was expected to make mistakes but I have learnt from them which would benefit me in the long run.

Plan for the week - Week 3

For this week, I aim to start working on my first draft attempt for my music magazine which would consist of a front cover, contents page and a double page spread. I don't aim to complete my first draft attempt but I aim to make good progress

Fashion mood board

 
I have chosen the theme of my fashion to be vintage and "old skool" as this is close to indie styled fashion which is what I have decided to set my magazine on. Indie fashion such as the top left picture of the lead singer of rat boy, Jordan Cordy, is a good example of Indie fashion along with the second picture along in the top left of Gosha Rubchinskiy.

Plan for the week - Week 2

For week 2, I would aim to complete magazine analysis of existing music magazines, possible fonts which I could use on my magazine. Also, I would aim to make mood boards for fashion and music. If I am able to complete all of these tasks for the week, I could move on to completing some of the tasks which I would've wished to get completed by the next week such as the 25 word pitch and filling out a music magazine for my audience to complete and to write up the responses.

Reflection of the week - Week 1

Week 1 went well as I was able to complete all the tasks which I had aimed to complete. Although I had completed all the tasks, I could've gone in to more depth on each post in order to make my research and planning more clear on what I aim to do.

Plan for the week - Week 1

I am going to be completing some research and planning for my music magazine. I will hopefully aim to complete a colour pallet with the colour combinations I could possibly use. Also, I would aim to complete an audience profile, a playlist of songs which I would wish to put in to my magazine.

Music mood board



As I want my music magazine to be orientated around the Indie genre, although there are artists which are not Indie within this mood board, I made it to get an idea of which artists could be featured on my magazine.

Contents sketch up - Preliminary


This is my preliminary contents page. When we have the chance to make our music magazine, I would hope to design my music magazine around my preliminary layout but with more detail. If I had the chance to change my preliminary contents page, I would add more photos to the bottom right corner having all of the information down the left side of the page.

Front cover sketch up - Preliminary


This is my preliminary front cover page. I made the front cover to have a medium closeup shot of my artist but as afterwards I had decided to have 2 band members instead of one, I had to change the image for the front cover making it a medium shot instead of a medium close up. The price of the magazine is too high which I would lower if I had the chance to make my own music magazine
