Music Magazine Front Cover Mock Up

Double Page Spread Photo Shoot Planning

 

Double Page Spread Photo-shoot

 

For my double page spread I will use the same models as my front cover and I will be considering the following factors;
Location;
The location will be the same as the one that I used for my front cover; a run down area of Tunbridge Wells where the band grew up.
Body Language;
The body language and posture that I want the cover model to represent is; Some will be smiling to show a new side to the band and imply that they are not like the stereotype being shown on the front cover. Some members will still look intimidating as reflects their social background/upbringing, I want the band to be shown as intimidating but underneath it all they are just normal teenagers enjoying their music.
Furthermore their posture will have to reflect their emotions, some will be leaning against walls whilst some will be standing up straight with their arms crossed. I want a good variety of poses hopefully each one varying from the last.
I will do this because the posture and the body language that the band members use will be key in portraying what kind of band they are without needing text to explain.
Facial Expressions;
Some of the band will be looking intimidating, I will have some them looking blankly at the camera with narrowed eyes, as if they are looking right at us acting the part. Others will just look as if this is just a normal day at the office. I want to capture them when their in their down time so that I can show what their truly like.
Weather;
I do not mind what the weather conditions are around during the photo-shoot. Obviously I would not hope for heavy rain or extreme weather conditions. The weather is a minor part of the photo shoot as it will not affect the quality of the images.
Other;
I will be taking the photos from a mixture of my digital camera and my phone, I want to get high quality shots that will reflect the quality of the magazine. Any out of focus shots will be discarded.

Magazine Front Cover Photo-shoot Planning

Front Cover 

For my front cover I will prepare to complete the following things;

Location;
My location for my photo shoot will be the back streets of Tunbridge Wells, I am looking for an area that is quite run down with a few tatty buildings, graffiti etc. I want to do this because my rock band has been brought up from that background. The location will have to look gloomy, dull and bland. I am choosing to take the photos on a council estate because that fits in with the theme; the band have grown up on the streets and the location needs to reflect that. I will take shots of the band with graffiti in the background, with one person sitting on a weathered run down wall, another leaning against the wall and finally the other people standing perhaps behind them.
The Cover Model;
What will they be wearing?
I want my band members to be wearing clothes that show their background. I will have two of the band dressed in jeans and hoodies with perhaps converse or vans footwear. I will do this because I want them to look like the stereotypical council estate teen who people find intimidating and are wary of.
Moreover the other members of the band will be dressed in long trench style coats with either dark chinos or jeans. I want to show that not all the band dress the same I want to add some variety to the shots. Again I want them to look as though they have actually grown up in a 'rough' area of Tunbridge Wells.
Finally the final member of the band will be dressed to in a barber style jacket with a hoodie underneath and jeans and converses to finish off the costume. I want this member of the band to look like he has had the toughest upbringing of them all. He is the main member of the band, the one who brought it all together.
Facial Expressions;
I want the cover models facial expressions to be bland and intimidating. I want them to look brooding and to intimidate people. This is a band from the streets and i want their facial expression to a reflection of that.
Body Language/Posture
The body language that I want to use has to reflect the intimidating. I will have some of the band members with their arms crossed whilst have some with their hands in their pockets. This makes them look like the stereotypical teenage men. Their shoulders will be hunched to make them look intimidating and in a position of power over people. Some will be leaning against walls adding to the effect of intimidation.
Weather;
The weather that i want to have when i do this photo shoot is cloudy and gloomy with a few rays of sunshine. I want these weather conditions because it adds to the atmosphere of the streets, it adds to the gloomy atmosphere and adds an intimidating aura.
Miscellaneous;
I am going to be taking the photos with a digital camera as i want high detailed shots for my magazine.

Magazine Front Cover Mock-up

Reasons for deciding the layout;

I chose this particular lay out because as my target audience is upper/middle class they are not going to be interested in a lot of pictures being shoved in their faces promoting different things. This is why I decided to use a lot more text. The target audience are looking for a more cultured, upper class feel to the magazine so that it is set apart from picture based magazines such as "Heat" Additionally the people buying this magazine are going to have a lot more time on their hands and are more likely to read the articles rather than be attracted by the pictures alone, they will want good quality articles that are interesting and last longer than a quarter of a page.

I have also used inspiration from magazines such as "Q" and "Blues and Souls" I have used Q's layout of the cover lines as I thought they were well laid out and got what they were trying to say across clearly and effectively. I used the way Blues and Souls present their central images/cover models, they managed to make them stand out whilst still interesting the reader with their articles/cover lines.

Moreover i will use the font calibri, i will use this font because it is not too formal but also has a nice appearance and adds to the idea of quality that comes with the magazines. The font is key as that is the way most of the information is displayed and if it is not effective then my target audience is not going to be interested.

 

Imaginary Entity;

Harvey is aged 21  and is passionate about the rock music genre, he has been to concert's and is a genuine fan of this music genre. He has plenty of time to sit down and read detailed articles about his favourite rock artists, he is always interested in learning more about the rock music scene and has a passion to find out more about their favourite artists. Harvey lives and breaths rock music, when he is not going out to gigs and concerts he is constantly listening to music and spends his time telling his friends about the best rock music had to offer.

 

The imaginary entity influenced my choices because to attract my ideal reader i need to know what layout they prefer and how they are attracted. I chose to attract them via interesting articles and an image of a popular rock band of the time. I will have to present it in a way that looks luxurious but also is interesting at the same time, i decided that more cover lines were needed as these 'hard-core' rockers are going to want a wide range of interesting things to read. I also chose to use only one image because the magazines that i have analysed (Time, Q, B&S) all focus around 1 individual to sell the magazine, this has proven effective, so i took inspiration from that.

 

Consideration of Double page spread & Contents page;

I have considered going along the lines of what other magazines such as B&S where they use a range of different images to support the key articles, I am choosing to do this because with my target audience they are going to want to see who exactly the articles are about, whether they like that artist and if they want to go ahead and read that article. The contents page will need to be laid out clearly because as this is an upper end magazine it cannot be botched together but instead needs to look good. Furthermore the double page spread needs to catch the eye and immediately interest the reader, inform them what is going on and it has to look good. To do this i have looked at examples in a variety of magazines some from different genres just to get a rough idea. I will include a range of pictures. I will have two larger images to get the attention and to inform who the article is about. The font for these will stay in calibri but it will be in different sizes to indicate the importance of some sentences, headlines etc.

Photo Selection Process

Photo shoot; Selection Process;
The photos that i will be selecting for my school magazine front cover and contents page will include the pictures of the male dressed in a suit. I chose these photos because; as i am promoting the schools new head boy i need him to appear smart, powerful and appear ready to knuckle down with his new role. I have selected the photos that i feel present the school in a positive light. I also wanted to show that the school and its students know what they are doing, they dress smartly and know exactly what they need to do and when. Here are the photos that i have selected and why i feel they are right, and there are also the photos that i will not use and why.


I chose this particular photo as I needed to make my head boy appear; serious, hard working and ready to knuckle down. I also liked the camera angle as, by looking up at the cover model it made him appear in a position of power and authority; he's looking down on us. This reflects his new status as head boy and presents him appropriately. I also chose this because this mid shot suited my needs, the others were good but this presented me with the perfect criteria.

I chose not to use these photos as some of them were too similar too each other. Additionally some of the photos were not mid shots and I needed a mid shot for the cover of the magazine. Moreover some did show the model as the serious head boy that I needed.
Some of the photos show unflattering angles which would not help the image I wanted to portray. Although he is dressed correctly some of the photos just do not fit the bill. Some of the lighting also interfered with the shots, in one shot the sunlight made the shots too dark or too bright.

School Magazine Front Cover

Magazine Target Audience

Target Audience for my Magazine;
The target audience for my magazine will encompass the middle class and the lower middle class. I have chosen these groups for my target audience because i think that with the ideas that i have for my magazine and the layout that i will use, it will suit those two groups the best. To attract my target audience i will reduce the amount of pictures that will appear on my cover, i will do this because the middle class are more likely to enjoy reading and will have more spare time on their hands to sit down and read a magazine. Moreover they are more likely to be interested in the quality of the reading material i.e. the articles than the quality of the pictures. Images will be effective but not as effective as if i was appealing to the working classes who are more likely to want lots of pictures and not a lot of text.
Additionally the font size and the type of font that i will use will again reflect the audience that i am targeting. The font that i will use will be of a more fancy and luxurious type, the audience i am targeting is looking for a luxurious magazine and the text has to show this quality or they are not going to be interested. The size of the font will also play a part. The middle class/lower middle class will not be too interested in large text emblazoned across the screen shouting for attention. They are going to be interested in more moderately sized text, with perhaps a large title. They are expecting the cover to look more sophisticated than most magazines, they will expect a higher price but they are also expecting the magazine to live up to that price.
Thirdly the lifestyle that i am targeting is the middle classes who have the time and the money to buy a magazine, return home and spend time reading it. These will be people who have plenty of money, who perhaps have retired early or who have never had the need to work. However i am also targeting the lower middle class who may not have as much time on their hands. I will need to find a balance between the two so that the magazine looks sophisticated enough for the upper middle class but not too pricey and expensive for the lower middle class.
The genre of music that I will be targeting is rock, I chose this genre because I felt it best represented the target audience I was targeting. It is a genre that I personally enjoy listening to. It also fits in with the photos that I will be taking and the style of cover that I will create.
I will target males aged from 18-30, I will do this because men are more likely to be interested in this magazine, some women might be but the majority will be men.

School Magazine Photoshoot

Photo-shoot plan

Central Image- The central image will be depicting the schools sixth form promoting that the school has a new head boy. The picture will show a group of sixth form students of the appropriate age along with the head boy of the sixth form smiling and looking as though they are enjoying themselves. This will signify that the sixth form is a good place to go and people will enjoy their time there. Also it will present the new head boy as a professional student who also takes time to help students with their work. The photos will be mid shot with a few close ups and full body shots. This will show the students in a wide range of environments within the school complex. The figure will be male as he will look more imposing and serious. Implying that the new head boy is ready to get down to work and do his job. It gives a hard-line view to the school and shows they are serious about their work.
Secondary Images - These will be made of close ups. These will signify exclusive interviews with some of the students who want to voice their opinions about the sixth form. And the new head boy. We are trying to convey the message that the school is a good place to be with a new head boy who is taking it in the right direction, to show these they will all be jubilant. Also a few may be of teachers who are giving their support to the new head boy and wish to give him luck.

Time Magazine Analysis

Masthead- The masthead is displayed in the traditional place at the top of the cover. It is displayed in red font against a black background so that it stands out. It catches the reader’s eye.

Tagline- The tagline doesn’t feature on the cover of this magazine. With this cover it is all about the name “Time” Is a big name and is well known for advertising the main political ideas of the time. The masthead does not need a tagline to accompany it the name speaks for itself.

Central Image/Cover Model- As is typical with Time magazine the two combine together. The main image is of Colonel Gudaffi who at the time was on the losing side of the Libyan Civil war. It is imposing and immediately catches the eye. It is the key attraction/selling point of the magazine. People will want to read what is going on.

Anchorage- The anchorage stays very close to the central image on the cover of this edition. “Last Stand” is emblazoned to the side of Gaddafi, we want to know if this is true and if so why. The anchorage partners the central image/cover model in being the main attraction of the magazine.

Secondary Images- There are no secondary images on the cover as they would just distract from the main article. All else is kept to a minimum to make sure that nothing ruins the effect that the anchorage, masthead and the central image creates.

Cover lines- The cover lines are positioned at the top of the magazine, out of the way of the main article. They offer something different for other readers. There are informative articles, current topics and political plots. It also indicates that this magazine is not just about one article but that there is a variety on offer.

Mode of Address- The magazine is very direct in its approach to readers, it has targeted a ‘hot’ topic that people want to hear and about and is trying to ‘shove’ it in our faces. The colour scheme makes it very bold and obtrusive; it would stand out in a magazine rack. This is the main aim as you are more likely to buy the magazine.

Puff/Pugs- Neither of these two feature on the cover as the magazine has no need to use them.

Barcode, Price and Edition- None of these appear on the cover. They would either distract from the main articles and image. The price doesn’t feature as they don’t want you to be put off by the price. The magazine wants to grip you and make you instinctively buy it rather than check the price.

Use of Colour- The colour scheme is very striking. The red border combined with the dark, gloomy image makes everything stand out clearly. The colours make everything bold and catch your eye.

Font- The font is in big bold type to reflect the seriousness of the current political situation and to also catch the eye. Less important articles are in lower case and are not in capitals. This denotes how important they are in attracting the readers.

Time Music Magazine Analysis

Masthead- the Masthead is clear and easy to see. It clearly states the name of the magazine. However on this edition it takes a back step and lets the central image/cover model take the stage.

Anchorage- The anchorage is clear to see on the front cover. It is positioned directly in front of the cover model and is placed where we are most likely to look first. The “Contender” is in big bold red writing. This draws us in before we even see Obama. We all want to hear if “politics has changed him” or if he will fulfil his promises. Time magazine want this to be their main marketing point.

Central Image/Cover model- This takes centre stage and is the main attraction of the magazine. The cover model Barack Obama is an iconic figure known across the world. People are going to buy this magazine not only because of the name but because of the person on the front. Obama is standing with his arms crossed in an authorities pose signifying that he is confident and will be able to stand up to Americas problems. People interested in the election campaign will want to hear what he has to say.

Tagline- No tagline features on the front of the magazine. This is because TIME magazine is well known and is a famous American magazine. It does not need to use a tagline to attract the readers; the brand name speaks for itself.

Puffs- Time magazine uses several puffs at the top of the cover to advertise what else is to offer inside the magazine. They feature celebrities such as “Will Smith” and then current features of interest for the American public such as “New stem cells” and “how would you cope with the recession” All these combine to signify that the magazine is not just about its main article but has other things to offer readers.

Barcode, Price, Edition; Funnily enough there is no clear price and barcode on the front of the magazine, signifying that this is an expensive magazine and they do not want you to be put off by it. The barcode and edition number feature on the spine of the magazine as they are not very relevant and may distract from the main article and cover model. However they do have the magazine’s website on the bottom where any extra information will be kept. Perhaps American audiences are targeted in a different way to English magazines.

Font- The font Is used very well on the cover. The masthead is in big bold text reflecting its importance. The anchorage is in coloured bold text also symbolises the importance of it in attracting readers. Any other writing is in smaller text so as not to take away from the cover model or the masthead, its purpose is to simply inform the reader.

Use of colour- The use of colour plays a key role in selling the magazine. The border is in bright red to make the other images stand out and to catch the eye. The background behind the cover model gets darker the further away from him it gets; this helps Obama to stand out a lot more clearly and makes him seem more imposing and eye catching. The anchorage is in red to highlight its importance whilst the other text is in simple white denoting its importance to the selling of the magazine.

School Magazine;Chosen Hill magazine analysis

Masthead- The masthead is in nice, large bold text which catches the reader’s eye and hopefully makes them stop and buy the magazine. The name of the magazine is clearly stated at the top of the page. It is simple and effective.

Tagline- There is no evident tagline on the cover of the magazine. Although we can work out from the central image that this is a student magazine. Also by not having a tagline we can tell that this is not a professional job.

Central Image- The central image is not as effective as it should be but it does the job. It is relevant to the purpose as it features a student and it is a student magazine. It is very strongly linked the magazine and the features inside.

Cover model- The cover model is a photographic model used to promote the school and the students within it. It serves its purpose and attracts the target audience who are obviously students.

Anchorage- There is a small use of anchorage on the cover. One of the articles asks how students are getting on with their exams. Seeing the confident student signifies that they don’t seem to be worried at all.

Secondary Images- The secondary image on the cover of this article is the schools own logo. Linking to the student magazine theme. Also implying that the articles in the magazine will be school related and not miscellaneous.

Cover lines- The cover lines here are very easy to spot. They are on the far left side of the page where they don’t interfere with the main picture.

Mode of Address- The magazine communicates in a very direct way. The cover model is looking straight down the camera at us the reader. The font is bold and laid out in a way that is in striking and eye catching.

Puff- The puffs used in this cover are typed in colourful fonts. They are advertising the “Big event” for the school. Seeing as this is the key article, it is the main story we all want to hear about.

Use of Colour- Colour is very rarely used in the text only being used to highlight the main article/selling point of the magazine.

Font- The font is used in a variety of ways. The title is in big, bold black text to attract the reader. Whilst the sub-headings are in bold to state what the articles are about. The summary information about each article is in plain simple text.

School Magazine analysis

 

Masthead

The masthead is where you would traditionally find it; at the top of the magazine. It has been placed there to inform the reader what the name of the magazine is and what school the magazine is from. It is displayed in large, black, bold text which stands out from the lighter background and gets it noticed. The masthead goes to great lengths to attract the eye of the reader and make sure that they notice is straight away.

Tagline

There is no tagline for this magazine probably because it is a school magazine and is not being published commercially. The designer might have felt that there was no need to attach a tagline to the masthead as the masthead would be the main feature to attract the readers.

Central Image

The central image is very important to this magazine, it portrays what the magazine is about and what school the magazine is from. The image attracts the readers attention and draws them into reading the magazine.

Cover Lines

The cover lines are placed on the far left hand side of the page, this is so that the image is not interfered with and the effect is not confused by the cover lines. The cover lines inform the readers what content is inside the magazine and draws their interest.

Edition, price, barcode

There is no price or barcode for this magazine as it is a school magazine and is not published for commercial reasons.

Font and Colour

The magazine cover uses the same font throughout partly because it is an amateur magazine and will not look professional and partly because it is a school magazine and not much focus will be on what font is used. The colours are very conventional with most of them being in black but the main features that they are trying to sell are coloured in a 'rainbow' effect. This brightens up the look of the magazine and helps to attract the reader a bit more and allow the cover to look a bit more 'easy on the eye'

Cover Model

The cover model is clearly a pupil from the school as she is wearing the uniform and the photo has been taken inside the school building itself. To show the school as a happy environment the model is smiling and her posture makes her appear as 'happy, outgoing and ready to work' This is to possibly link with the values of the school and help to promote the school to others such as parents.

 

 

Q Music Magazine Ananlysis

Masthead- The title is placed in the top left corner of the cover, almost like a pug. It does not take a major role in attracting the readers it leaves that mainly to the cover model in this case Jay-Z.

Tagline- The tagline as usual accompanies the masthead. This is one of the magazines main selling points. “The 10 most exciting people in music” This attracts readers as we want to know who these people are. Moreover this links with the cover model of the magazine. Are they in that list? All these questions make us want to buy the magazine.

Puff- The puffs used are plain and simple. They offer what the target audience want; Interviews with the latest music stars. “42 pages of Interviews” It cuts straight to the point drawing us straight to what we want.

Anchorage- This attracts all the people who want to hear the cover models story. It does this by varying the text colour to highlight the main words like “Muse” “Thom Yorke’s”

Cover Model- The cover model is the main attraction point. Everything else is either put to the side or behind. This attracts the readers as they want to hear about the models story and if they have any new songs or an album out.

Barcode, Price, Edition- The barcode positioned at the bottom of the magazine. It does this because it doesn’t want you to be attracted away from the main image. The price is kept minute as they don’t want you to be put off buying the magazine. Finally the edition number is on the spine as people aren’t going to take a major interest in it.

Font- The font is kept in bold capitals showing that these are important so you ‘must’ read them. Key words are highlighted in red as they are the main headlines of the article. Information about what is in the story is written in white as it is less important.

Puff- The other situated on the cover entices the reader in. They have already seen the main article about the cover model but the “+” makes us want to find out more about other artists

Central Image- The central image catches the reader’s eye first. Jay-Z dominates the cover implying that the articles main attraction is this music star. This will not only attract fans of his but anyone who wants to know about what he gets up to when not produces music.
