The cover of MV

Here's the cover of the magazine :



















To make the cover page i had to make up some text in Microsoft word e.g Cleo
The future of R&B

R&B hardest hitters

Drake hip hops
New religion

Amber rose’s hottest looks


Melanie Fiona
Drake
Young money
Robin Thicke
Trey Songz


Chris Brown
Are u still down

After that I then imported the text into "indesign". Then i placed it on the page where i wanted it to be.Then i decided to find a relevant picture of my model that would go with page.Then i also decided to carry on the colour scheme black , white and orange through the page.I then put my "MV logo" up at the side. To make the smiley faces on the cover i took a photo of some chocolate smarties. I then imported the image into illustrater and drew some faces on then. I then change the colour to orange to continue the theme. After that i imported the image into "indesign"and placed it where i wanted it .

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
