Double Page Spread Analysis

From this I have learnt that placing a big image on the double page article really grabs the readers attention and would make them want to carry on reading the article. The house style is crucial and I need to ensure I use bold colours which really stand out against a dull background.

From this I can see that the image used is the main focus of the magazine article. The text used is very eye catching and it really stands out as the fonts used are very bold. The fact that the text is on the left is a good idea as you read from left to right and it makes the text the main feature of the article rather than the image used. The headline covers most of the page so people instanly know what the article is about. The article isn't too text heavy, this is a good idea as people may get put off when they see a whole article full of pages of text, therefore i will use this idea in my magazine.

Contents Page Analysis

From this I have leant that sticking to 3 house style colour is really affective and stands out the most. I have also learnt that placing the article names on the left and then placing images on the right is the best type of layout for the structure of the contents page and this is something I will strongly consider doing in my rock magazine.

From this I have learnt that the house colour red, black and white are very popular and something that i would strongly consider using. The layout of these two contents pages are very eye catching and they look the most professional, having the text on the left and images on the right.

Rock Magazine Analysis

From this process I have learnt that positioning is key, the way people are positioned gives off different impressions completely. The fact that there is a man in the middle, who is higher than the other two, suggest that he has more control over the band, this may be the wrong interpretation, however this is why you have to be selective with the positioning you chose. Also i have decided that i dislike that the logo is behing the image, as I think you loose focus on the magazine name itself and concerntrate too much on the image, where as I want my magazine to be remembered not just for it's image.

From this I have learnt that gory images and dark colours are used in rock magazines. Also that fonts are either capitalised or in bold to grab the readers attention. Cover lines are often used with images to support them and this is something I will use on my magazine front cover.

I have decided to do a rock magazine as I think I could be really creative with the image, I could use vibrant makeup and big hair, and the clothing used would be leather as this fits in with the stereotypical rocker image. Below I analysed an existing rock magazine, from this process I have learnt that the fonts I use need to be bold and eye catching, and the colours used need to be dark. The magazine used gory images and a lot of blood, therefore this is something to think about for my magazine.

Draft Of Pitch

This is a draft of my pitch, none of my ideas are final I have just started planning what I would like to include in the rock music magazine.

Rock Hairystyles and Makeup

Here I have looked at various rock hairstyles so I can get an idea of how my model is going to have their hair. From the images I can see that most of the models have a dark colour hair type and that their hair is backcombed and very big and vibrant. From this research I have learnt that I need to give my model big bold hair, so it fits in with the rock genre.

 

From this I can see that most rock models have black dark makeup on, and I have realised that on my magazine front cover the model should be wearing dark heavy eye liner around their eyes, along with dark eyeshadow. The models also have pale skin, therefore my model will have to make sure they use alot of light foundation to get a lighter skin shade.
