Double Page Spread

Pictures taken to use for the magazine

I have chosen to use this photo as the image of the R&B artist, 'Leah Lopez' on my contents page. I have chosen to use this photo because I feel that it is suited to the genre of the magazine, I have dressed my model in the same outfit (puffer jacket with a fur hood and a thick gold chain with black ribbon), as she wore for the front cover. However I have used a different pose and shot (medium close up) for this one.

For this photo I have dressed my model up in appropriate clothing, in order to fit the genre of the magazine. I intended a sexy, yet glamorous image. To acieve this I have dressed her in a black lace top and blue shorts with gold buttons, i have also dressed her in red heels, I have chose thesse colours as they are all complimentary to each other in achieving the look of a female R&B artist. My ideas for the mise-en-scene stemed from previous observations I had made from other R&B artists.

I have chosen to use this photo as one of the images on my double page spread as it is suited to the shared personality of the R&B artist, 'Leah Lopez', as the title of the article is, 'Tears, Tantrums and Triumph'. This photo portray's her as a bit of a diva.

I have chosen to use this photo for the image on the front cover of my magazine. I chose this photo because, it is more suited to the front cover as the model is looking at the camera which can be seen as direct contact with the reader.

1st sketch for my music magazine

Based on the research i have gathered on the internet, I have created my own design idea for a media product with resembelance to that of the real media products. I have included the conventions of a real magazine, for example, sell lines, date and issue number, the main image, offer to the reader and a barcode. As these are just sketches, they will be used to create the design for my music magazine but, the end product may have some differerences as the sketch is just a guidline.

The following are the quetsions that were asked in order to find out this information:

What do you like most about the magazine?

Is there anything else you would like to be interested in the magazine?

How could the product be improved?

How does the product appeal to you?

Initial Ideas

Before starting my planned sketches for my media product, I put together a few ideas for a questionnaire, in order to find out peoples opinions on music magazines. This is an important part of the music magazine as audiences are constantly changing. Things like size and impact, of the media on audiences in general and the effectiveness of advertising also needs to be considered as well as how audiences interrlate with the media. When deciding on the possible questions for my questionnaire, I will have to think about how consumption of media and how it has changed over the past few years. Through feedback that I will recieve, through the questionnaire I plan to create, I will be able to identify those changes whether or not those cahnges have been influenced as a result of changes in age, interest and circumstances. When developing my initial ideas for my front cover, contents page and double page spread I will have to think about the information that I am going to put into my magzine in regards to demographics, for example, age, social class, gender, and income. I will have to spend more time trying to identify specific groups in order to sell to my targeted audience for the magazine.
