edited photos

Some of the photos i thought were good enough to use on my front cover, contents and double page. As i had photos already i took of the band Apocalyptica I think I will use them on my contents page and front cover, however, I am going to do my double page spread on the band on the cover, Breakfast At Midnight, so i had to edit many photos for this.

Here are the photos i think i will use for my front cover edited. I didnt like the background for the first one, therefore i turned it all black, i think this also makes it look more like a rock music group.

On my contents page I have decided to use quite a few photos to make it more interesting. I also edited some of these to make them more suitable for a rock music magazine.I think I will edit the photo of the band further, and I thought that on my contents page I would put something about a band teaching children to play, hence the photo of the drum kit and the girl.

I have decided to use on of the photos I took of just one of the band for my double page spread because I can make it looker darker and creepier, also, I really like this photo.

I edited it quite a lot, changing the background and also adding shadow to it. It is a bit like the metallica photo on the double page I studied, I thought I would try to copy this idea and i think it turned out well.

Cover Lines

I need some cover lines for my front cover, I have decided, looking at my poll to use The Sound as the name of the magazine.
I think for some of my cover lines i will mention bands, such as Fightstar and Apocalyptica as they are both rock bands.
Also, i can put things like, Inside Story and Exclusive.
I think a quote from my interview with the band on the cover should be put on as a cover line, possibly something funny or scandalous?

Photoshoot

These are my photos from my photoshoot, many of which will have to be edited as some are too dark or i do not like the background. A couple of them unfortunately are blurry as well.

Fonts

I am trying to decide on what type of font to use on my magazine, at this time I am not entirely sure what I am going to call my magazine, it depends on the results of the poll, but personally I prefer either CRASH! or ROCK THIS! With these fonts I like the 2nd and 4th one. I then tried using a couple of different fonts on ROCK THIS! The first font is quite interesting and looks good as they are completely different. Also on a coloured background many of these fonts would really stand out and look interesting.

colours

I was having trouble thinking about colours when i was doing my initial designs so i decided to look at a colour wheel to see which colours clashed or complimented each other.
Purples and reds seem to go well together, however, these are colours more suited to a girly magazine not a rock one. Blues and purples, or greens also work and are getting more towards being suitable for a rock magazine. However blacks and whites go together and with everything. Therefore I have decided to try out lots of different colour schemes together with different layouts
