What Do You Prefer inside a Music Magazine?

This pie chart shows the collected answers to our questionaire. We found that most people prefer interviews and reviews, rather than the lastest news.

DJmag

For our first cover/ issue. We wanted to focus on an individual artist, rather than the music genre as a general. We gained inspiration from such magazines as, DJ magazine, which use artist photos as cover shots to entice the consumer. Here is a link to the website and an image of one of their covers: http://www.djmag.com/

Mixmag

http://www.mixmag.net/ is a Dance/ Club music magazine that we took inspiration from. We looked at what type of colours they used and how they laid the structure of the magazines out. We discovered that this genre of magazine stylizes like Club posters, by using loud and extravagant fonts and fluorescent colour. Here's an expample of a Mixmag magazine cover:

Cover Shoot

Today we finished our 'First' photo shoot. It was very successful as we managed to produce most of our ideas (which included approx sixty photos). We are currently picking out the best to fit into our covers and spreads, and are tweaking them to perfection on Adobe Photoshop by cropping, shading and changing light effects on them etc. After we are happy with our final images, we shall post contrasts of before and after photos, to show how we edited them. These photos will also include a brief description of what techniques we used to adjust them.

Cover Shoot Plan

We are planning on creating a very professional shoot by using a white back drop, lighting and a good quality SLR camera. Our photography teacher has given us permission to use any equipment we need from his studio. As two of us are photography students, we should hopefully have a great advantage in the shoot. We are going into the shoot with a few basic ideas, but we will improvise and take more photos than we need. This means if we change our mind, we will have extra material to use, instead of having to do a re-run. The shoot will take place Friday 22nd 2010 approx 11am.

Magazine Mock up

Initial ideas. We have decided to focus on the dance/electronic genre of music, and are thus focusing on a younger, 18-30's, target audience. Our colour palette will consist of bright and vibrant colours to create lots of contrast within our magazine (i.e. green, white, black, yellow, orange, red, blue). We have also decided on a magazine name, 'Noise'. Here are a few basic sketches that we drew up...

Preliminary Task

This task was to create a magazine cover targeted to a specific audience. This audience was for teenage students and the genre of magazine had to relate to school. These are our final covers that we produced.
