2. To take my practice and my main images I used a Sony DSC-W320,
14.1 megapixel shown below. I then edited the images using ‘picture
editor’ I used contrast, highlights and shadows to make the images
stand out and brighter. So that it can be easer to put any colour I
would like for my cover lines and master head. Shown below are
pictures of the camera I used, to take these pictures of the camera I
used my Sony Ericson mobile phone cameras.
3. Some images I took for my music magazine
draft
From these images I could only use one of the
images as my front cover as the other ones
were not focused enough, for example her
face and eyes were not focused enough to use
as the front cover. Therefore I may use one of
these images on my contents page.
4. My first draft
of a magazine
cover on ‘fire
works’ I firstly
got an image
of the
barcode on
Google, I
thought
having one in
colour would
be different
to just having
a black and
white one. I
then made
my cover
lines the
same colour. I
didn’t like this
because the
artist was not
facing the
camera.
5. Second round final image, for my music magazine cover.
For these images I liked the lighting
on them, also the colours show very
well. For these images I used ‘photo
editor’ for lighting and making the
background darker so that the cover
lines and master heads show up
clearly also the images are focused.
Also the image on the left relates to
my master head ‘Echo’ well as it looks
like my artist is screaming.
6. For my double page spread for my main artist.
C.B.W, as an artist
can still be like
everyone else, and
go to Mc Donald's
Photographer on the
left and artist C.B.W on
the right-
7. I merged the colour
and the black and
white image in
together, as I liked
both of them I
decided to add some
colour into the black
and white image, also
the Mc Donald's
packaging colours are
bright – this image is
representing the artist
to still do normal
things even if she is
famous.
8. Starting the making of my front cover
To improve I have to fill
out the black spaces.
To do this I need to do
something with my
title ‘Echo’ then I have
to add more images
which will show what
will be on the contents
page.
9. This NME music magazine of the solo artist Florence
Machine really stands out, from the image being very
focused as she looking into the camera, to the main
colours being red, white and black. I got some
inspiration from looking at this, as I like how the
cover lines have been set out.
11. For inspiration to the creation to my contents
page, I have looked at the NME contents page
magazine and I would like it to have a newspaper
look to my Echo music magazine , as I want it to
look different to most music magazines, also
adding a modern look to newspapers. Also the
layout is clear.
12. The making of the contents page
To create my contents page I used
Microsoft publisher. I think the
layout I want to go for is going to
apply to teens and young adults.
At the start of creating
my contents page.
13. I stuck to three colours in
my contents, red, white
and black.
24. Final Music Magazine
I made the page bigger
so that it would be the
same size as my
contents page. Then I
added a “win festival
tickets worth £50” to
get readers attention
more. Also to add
more colour to the
page. For my cover I
made the master head
and the cover lines the
same colour, I added
red to make the cover
stand out.
