Creating an identity part 2 update

I have now come up with a colour scheme which is orange , black and white which I think will look really good on the cover. I have also this week taken some new pictures for my cover with a new model with the help of Mr Jarret. later on in the week I picked a cover photo out of the ones I shot of the new model" Cleo" which I think will make the magazine look amazing.



















I would love if you guys could vote if you like it or not so I can have some feedback.
Thanks

Creating an identity part 3

Now that the title for my magazine is own it way to announced , I have to start thinking how I want it to look on my magazine because the title is one of the key factors of making a magazine have an identity to the target audience. So i did some research and found a magazine. "Billboard magazine"













The title stands out because it has good text and colour plus it is simple and the name is easy to remember. However I think this one might be a little to simply and follows all the rest of the magazines by having the title going straight across the page , so I might try and switch the angles on my title when creating it in "INDESIGN" to give it a diffrent look , so it will stand out from the rest.

Creating an identity part 1 - update

I thought that I should update you on how picking the name for the magazine is going. Well so far many people are voting on the poll for many names but the most votes are going to ........ MV(Music's voice), which I really like because it is short, snappy and will stay in your minds. However the poll is not closed yet ,so if you have your say still, VOTE NOW .

Creating an identity part 2

This week I am thinking of a colour scheme that would be good for the magazine. Also by doing this I can tell my model in advance what colours to wear, so it won't clash with the colour of the text on the cover. the colours in mind are Red, Lilic,orange, white , black and few others.

At this moment I have a few colours in mind that might make the magazine stand out for good reasons. Also this week am starting to get the feel of the program that we have to create my magazine on which "INDESIGN", luckily I have the help of Mr Jarret, who knows the program very well. He has also offered to help me take my photos again for my cover.

Photos for the front cover - Draft

This week I am starting to create my artist for my magazine,By using my friend Tashuna for the model. Here are some of the pics:




















However, my teachers thought that the pictures were not good engough to make my cover look like the ones on the shelves at the shops.

Back to the drawing board

Creating an identity part1

After the researching I am starting of thinking of names that will go with my magazine and what kind of logo . Here are some of the names i came up with :


  1. Musicollusion
  2. Sound
  3. MV (MUISC'S VOICE)

To make my decision a little easier, because I am total in love with all of these names. I will ask my friends what they think about the names.

At this moment I will have to continue with my researching until I get any ideas for my magazine .


You can help two , by voting which name you think will suit the magazine.

Creating a Music Magazine

In my Media studies, I am creating a muisc magazine about the genre of urban/pop music . Where I have to design a front cover , content's page and feature page. which will include an artist from that genre, however I have to make an new artist up because I have to take the pictures myself for the magazine.

To create the magazine to the best standard I have to research loads of magazines that are in the same genre, to see how there magazines are set out .

Also I need to start thinking about making an identity for my magazine e.g the name of it and the logo .
