For my front cover i decided to stick to the three colour pallete as i found that succeasful magazines kept to a certain level of consistency to make the magazine more eye catching. As my genre is for dance and dubstep style music i have decided to use a bright lime green with black as this could represent the lights standing out in the night club where the music would be listened to. Also the green is quite a vibrant bouncy colour which links to the type of person who would be interested in the magazine. I have also chosen the red for the main font colour as i have found from research that red seems to be a colour which is always succesful and stands out against most colours. Magazines i have looked at such as Q and NME have used red as its main font colour and it has been a success as they are two of the most popular music magazines on the market so i would be aiming to emulate their achievements. The red also contrasts well against the green and makes it stand out well. I have called the magaizne 'SOUNDZ' as it represents a type of hip and alternative slant mixing things up a bit like the genre of magazine as the dubstep style of music mixes things up and doesn't stick to the crowd, so this magazine is also going to stand out from the crowd. I have also decided that i will have one main image of the main artist related to the main headline so that it is clear to the audience who the magazine is talking about and basing its cover story on, the photo will be a medium close up so that the audience can relate and understand and empathise with the artist creating a relationship. I have also decided to put a banner at the top of the page so that the audience can see whatelse will be in the magazine as they may be more interested in purchasing the magazine and seeing more as well as interesting different people to the magazine. My headlines content are generally puns from the artists names as this is a clever way of engaging a reader to the story. My layout is also meant to be simple and not being too cluttered so that the audience is confused. My font will be bold easy to read bubble style writing as it links well to the genre as it is easy going and there aren't any sharp edges its all curved and no dark connotations could be made its a relaxed font just like the genre. I have decided to put a
For My contents page i have continued the theme of putting the 'Z' on the end of 'Contentz' like i did 'SOundz' this is to keep the consistency all across the magazine making it look more professional and also to give the magazine its own soul and identity. This is achieved by combining it with the same colour palette of three by using the 'fluro green' 'red' and 'black' that i used on the front cover by doing this people will associate this colour scheme with the magazine making it more recognisable and more memorable. This colour scheme also links well to the genre of music. I had originally planned to put two pictures on my contents page as shown. But i have now decided that i may use three and i have also decided to change the layout of my contents page. As the flat plans Contents page has an image in the top left next to my first set of stories and then another for the second half. But since conducting Primary and Secondary research i have since found out that using a column based page looks more professional and is easier to read. So what i have now decided to do is a list of bands or stories included within the issue at the left of the page and then in the centre i will use the images in relation to the main stories within the magazine. And then on the third column i will complete what story lines are included within the issue. The use of the ' Plus Much More' looks quite effective so i will continue to use this within my final product. I have used red on my font to keep the consistency and as with the front cover i have found out that red is often the most successful colour with magazines with examples being 'Q' and 'NME'. The Actual text continues the use of puns to continue the cheeky effect the magazine is going for to make it easy and more associative to its audience. One of my photos will have a fire flame surrounding the photo to represent the story which is 'feeling the heat'. Also my actual story lines which are regulars feature a 'z' on the end as it goes with the theme of the magazine this shows consistency and also adds consistency.
For my DPS i have decided that my first page will feature one large photo with a quote from the text as i have found from my research that it is a highly effective method in particular when 'Q' used this on their 'Lady Gaga' issue and the texts font colour will continue to run with the same theme the magazine has kept to keep it consistent. I have decided to fill the text within a cloud to relate to the main story that the DPS is related to as the group is called ' Skies don't lie'. The text will be in columns so it is well organised and easy for the audience to understand. And this article will feature a story behind the bands epic rise to the top and then an interview with the band. The page will start with an introduction then go into the main story. I have divided it up so that the audience don't get to bored by the look of a page of text so i have made it look like there is less when in fact there isn't. Also the SOUNDZ theme remains in the top corner to continue its identity. My photo used will be highly effective and will feature cinematography features such as rule of third to identify who has the power within the group. This is because the audience can then understand who is the main character and most powerful character also the image is important as the audience can gain a relationship with the band through this an understand what the band are all about. My text font will be easy to read and rounded and not too sharp or jagged as my genre is laid back and fun so i wouldn't want it to be sharp as this would represent a more rocky style genre and i don't want any confusion or misrepresentation as i want to make it easy for the audience to understand the style of genre. Costume i will use for all of the images seen on the three different pages will all be representative of the genre which is dance music, so my models would be wearing brightly colored clothing. The men and the women would have quite edgy hair dos or the men could be wearing props like hats or caps or they could have longish hair. The men might wear chinos or jeans if going for a long shot and the women quite edgy style leggins. As this would represent both coolness side and the edge side of the dubstep and dance genre.
