Research and planning: test background for front cover

I create a brick wall template to test how a brick wall would look when applied to my front cover for my music magazine.

Research and planning:progress so far: febuary

 

In this month I have created my magzine and added essentional features that I think are necessary to create the best magazine possiable I have also moved things around as I have taknen in to consideretion my image but I will proably change the whole style of all 3 publiactions in March as I do not feel that they are linked togther and they need to be as they are from the same magzine.

Research and planning: improved drafts based on audience feedback

These are my improved drafts based on audience feedback that I received from survey monkey and from asking what people thought of my magazine cover contents page and double page spread.

Research and planning: fonts

These are some of the font I used and then changed my mind because they were ethier not appropriate  for the task or they did not fit my theme.

Research and planning: photos for double page spread

I wanted several photos for this and I wanted them to look as the artist had taken them herself while working however it became clear that this chocie made my images look unproffessional  and not appropriate so I did not use these images or the idea behind them  also they were slighly blurry which would not have looked good an indie music magazine as the images tend to be strikiing and very cleverly taken on all the indie mgazine that I have seen.

Research and planning: photo for front cover

I took some photo using the camera but they were too blurry  and what I was wearing was not appopriate for the front cover of an indie music magzine

Research and planning: background for music magazine

When designing my background I made a template of a brick wall I also made a spiral pattern though neither of these designs gave me the effect I wanted for my background.

Research and planning: album covers

I looked at album covers to get some inspiration for creating my own cd cover to accompany my main image on my double page spread.

Research and planning planning: progress so far February

 

My progress so far is good and I have now finished my story and changed the sizes of my font to match the critria and changed the sizes of my canvas to match that which they need to be when printed.
