Plan Of Work

On the 3rd of December I will plan my photos which I will use for the magazine and I will then be taking the photos on the 10th of December and the 28th of January. Over the Christmas holiday I will also take photos which I will use outside school. And then after that I will be doing my mock exams. On the 22nd of January to the 29th I will work on my front cover and then on the 4th of February until the 11th after this from the on the 14th to the 21st of February I will work on my double page spread. From then on I will go over my pages and finalise them making sure they are the best they can be. As well as doing this I will also go over analysis’s which I have done and improve my work so I achieve the best possible grade.

Questionnaire and Results

New microsoft power point presentation from jackcooney

now that I have completed a survey and received responses I can get valuable information on how I should style my magazine. After seeing what people like in a magazine I have realised who I should aim my audience at and which particular style of  rock music I should mainly talk about. I have chosen the name of my magazine to be distortion as it was the idea name with the most votes in my survey. I will also use one main image as the front cover of my magazine as this is what people in my audience believe to be the most professional look for a magazine.

I also now know how I should construct my double page spread and what kind of layout I should use as well as what I should include in the article of the double page spread.

I think this is very useful way of getting the information of what to include in my magazine. This information gives me a real audience and shows me their views of what to include in the magazine. Some of the answers given by people who took part in the survey contradict each other however I shall ignore these as I can't go with all the options and I should go with the majority of the peoples views.

Production log

Today I designed my survey, I made it with closed questions and gave multiple choise options to the people who took part in my survey. this way I could get the opinion of others when they answered the questions but als at the same time they would use the options I geve them so there would not be people writing things which I completely disagree with.

Spider Diagram Of My Ideas

my moodboard

Dictionary definition of a mood board: 'An arrangement of images, materials, pieces of text, etc. intended to evoke or project a particular style or concept' My mood board was inspired by rock music which is my chosen genre, it has pictures inspired by rock music and pictures of musicians. the colour is dark and gloomy. There is a lot of black which is a colour used in a lot of rock magazines and a colour associated with the genre. The mood board will also inspire me when I am making my magazine pages.

This music video contains a band playing a long with another story line to the magazine. the setting is very dark and gloomy which is typical of a music magazine although the story line is fairly comical as it includes teddy bares which contradict the dark theme. This is the type of  theme I am planning to use for my magazine.

This music video also features a band playing. There is a dark theme running throughout the video and it gives a story line. There are a lot of different angels of the band when they play live but the main one features the main artist facing the camera. The artists wear clothes which could be smart although they are dressed to look slightly rough. most of the costumes are dark which is something I will have to consider for my magazine.

These are some of the music videos that inspired my magazine and they feature some of the themes I hope to add to my magazine. They are very typical of alternative rock and the kind of songs and bands which would be featured in the magazine.
