Research and Planning: Double Page Spread Ideas

For my double page spread, I am wanting to do an interview of the artist on one side of the page, an image of the artist on the other side of the page. Or maybe a collage of images above and the interview below it as it may look different and stand out more.

Research and Planning: Plan for this Week

This week I aim to continue with a bit more of my cover page, and I also want to start and do most of my contents page.

Research and Planning-Album Cover Examples

 

  

These are just a few examples of album covers that I have found, I wanted to look at these to find out about the positioning of the text and images, the different colour schemes that have been used.

Research and Planning-Model HeadShots

These are some photographs that I taken for my model head shots, I may be able to use some of the on the cover of my magazine, like the final image or maybe the second one but I don't think I will be able to use any of the others as the third image she isn't making eye contact at all and the first image I could maybe use that on my double page spread as it looks like he is looking forward into his future maybe?

Research and Planning: Female Artist Hair Style Examples

These are just a few examples of some of the hair styles that match my genre of music. As you can see they are quite similar as both hair styles are straight, the only difference is that one is shorter than the other.

Research and Planning: Inspiration for my Magazine

 

Through all the magazines I looked at related to my genre of music, Vibe magazine seems to match what I want my magazine to look like the most. The bright colours make everything stand out and the big image on the front entices you and makes you want to read it.

Research and Planning: Artists associated with my Genre of music

Some of these examples of artists could help me in designing my magazine as I can see what they dress like so I can try and change my model to look as best like them. I can also see what type of attitude they have on some pictures which again will help me when I take pictures of my model.
