double page spread development .#2

I then created a title for the double page spread. I wanted this again to be bold and express what is going to be written in the article, I also wanted it to have meaning to the artist. I chose 'Off the rails' because the article is about the artist going off the rails then going into recovery and coming back out better than before. I think this name will draw the reader in to read the article because they will be intrigued to see what its all about. I chose two different fonts 'Georgia' and 'Muro' I think these two fonts looks good together because they contrast, I also chose contrasting colours which are consistant through out the magazine.

contents page development #2

I have started the layout of my contents page. The more important contents will have an image along side them so the reader will understand more about what they are about. The rest of the contents will go in the comlumn on the left.

Front cover development #2

This is further development of my front cover. I have added the sell lines and the main article lines I have chose the fonts "muro" and "bebas" because they are bold and make the magazine look modern. I colours I chose for the sell lines are red, black and because they are gender neutral and keep with the house style. I have put the main article sell lines in the middle of the page to make it stand out and to make it connect with the artist of the main image.

double page spread development#1

I chose this image as the main image for my double page spread. I chose it because its a very clear and inviting image, the model looks sophisticated and this will draw the reader in to read the article. The models clothes match the colour scheme of the magazine. This sharp red colour contrasts well against the white background, this gives the page a professional look.

Contents page development #1

I have started designing my contents page. I have began by choosing a bold font for the title, I chose from a range of font but think this best suits the contents page as it is large and this will catch the readers attention to the page. I have chose the colours red and white as they are consistant and will keep the magazine looking mature.

Front cover development #1

I have started to create my front cover I first started by choosing a image then editing it, I chose this image of my model because there is a eye line match and she looks sophisticated, also the image is striking and will the also contrast with the colours I want for the masthead and sell lines. It took a while for me to get the image on the page as I had to do alot of editing to ensure it was at the best quality it could be. I then chose a font from the selection of fonts that I have researched to use for the masthead, the font I chose was 'Muro'. I chose the font 'Muro' because it is bold and will stand out from the rest. It took a while to edit the image because of the models hair so it took a few attempts to make it right. I still need to add other conventions such as sell lines etc.

Photoshoot costume and makeup

Before taking the actual images that I would use for the magazine a lot of preparation and planning took place to get the models right for the photo-shoot. I brought a selection of clothes and often had intervals throughout the shoot so that the models could change into something else. Before I started taking photos I carefully applied makeup to my model and styled her hair. We stopped frequently so that I could re do hair so that it was neat and do touch ups on the models makeup. This was to make sure that all of the photos were perfect and consistent. By changing the outfit of my model a few times this meant at the end when choosing the final images I had a few options to choose from. For this photo-shoot I had a few friends help me, this was very beneficial as it meant they could do some of the touch ups whilst I concentrated on taking the images.
