After I tried the idea of it slanted I found I did not like it so I tried it half way down the page when I did not like this it did not look perfection and so I tried it on the hole page this was the best one with this picture but it was to fussy .

This one I stated choosing font colour to see if font will help it look better I chose light blue and found it did not work because I could not read it so I needed to have a background without the twirls or a barker colour

I liked the idea of the writing here if it was a darker colour it was different but I just did not like the way the picture was.

These are the three photos I could use for the front cover.

The first one is two dark and if it was blown up it would go all blurry. The second photo I love it has a very good background but can not be blown up too much for the front page so I will use this for the double page spread. The last one wet well and gives me space to write it the bottom right also it is a different kind of photo from normal pictures on a front cover.

The idea before the picture

Before I have my picture I fort of an idea that I would use this seemed good but when I got my picture my model was not in this pose she was in a white background and also I found that the font was not going to go. but I still liked the idea of the picture being slanted half way of the page so I gave that ago.

Why Pop Music

Pop music is the type of music magazine I am doing I felt I would get a picture best to match it and also I love pop music so I know what others my age who love pop music so I know what the target audience will like and that they will what to by it, I fell there are a lot of band magazines and R and B magazines so I felt lets add to the pop magazine main reason its was on questionnaire most people I asked loved pop and another type but mainly pop so I felt this would sale well and would be popular.

The brief for my magazine
This task is to design a new magazine condense page and double page spread for a music magazine. There must be over 4 images that we have taken and we must make up a master head that has not been used before.
Research

•Looking at kerrang Issue no 1237
•The title is in bold white next to the contrast of the black pictures which makes it stand out. In this main picture the man is in sunglasses this means he does not have direct eye contact, but this is a good thing on this one because it might be a bit secretive and you want to now why. Also they are known to be cool and you don’t know if he is looking at you or not and therefore it would still make you pick it up. to know it is a music magazine they have gave him a mica phone and he is a main famous singer in a band. The fact that he is the singer makes the girls like him best so it going to be a seller. In has a strip just under the middle of the page this is an effect done to make it look like they have just panted a one line going across the page. The colours uses are white writing with gold smaller writing under the white.
