Production Log

In todays session i went through my photos that i am using within my blog and i put them into photoshop and autobrushed them using the spot removal tool, to give the magazine a more professional vibe and more appealing.

Behind the scenes of the Photoshoot

  

SELL LINES

Here are the sell-lines that I will put on the front cover of my magazine, I will include these because I think that they will appeal to my target audience and attract a wider audience.
I wanted my sell-lines to be intriguing and exciting but also simple so that they look professional and sophisticated.
I chose these sell-lines as i was looking as successful music magazines such as 'Q' and saw that they use sell-lines like this, so therefore me using these ensures that i will appeal to some of my target audience.

IMAGES IDEAS

I researched photo shoots from existing music magazines to get a general understanding of  what I want to do for my photo shoot to get the best possible outcome for my magazine, so that it will appeal for my audience.

Name Designs

These are my masthead designs. I chose these fonts as I feel as though they represent the magazine and the indie/alternative genre well - connoting the individual, distressed and wrecklessness of the audience.  I am still undecided on which font to use however I will be adding more fonts if I see any that I like and deciding upon the font I would like to use for my masthead once I develop more ideas.

COLOUR CONNOTATIONS / IDEAS

I created some house colours which I thought would appeal to my magazine, I decided to go with the house colour of white, black and red as this is the most bold and dynamic colour scheme. it also appeals to both males and females which is who my target audience is.

BOX OUT TEXT

Here is the ideas of the box out texts that I want to place on my ideas, this makes it easier for me when creating my final product so that I can refer back to this.

MOODBOARD

Transcript:  I chose to place these four social media icons e.g. twitter, on my moodboard as they are the most popular and the most commonly used by my target audience a large majority of the time.
My target audience are very up to date with the new devices and technology within the world at the moment and tries to get the most latest gadget possible such as the new smartphones.
I chose certain Indie Artists that i thought would appeal to my target audience e.g. Ed Sheeran, as these people are idolized by my target audience.
I incorporated outfits that i believe my target audience would wear at festivals and concerts etc.
i also incorporated where they would buy these outfits from.
I included photos of the most popular festivals coachella and reading which are both two indie festivals that would appeal to my audience.
