Examples of Photos That I Took

Below are some examples of photos that I took to possibly use on my magazine.

The top row of pictures was taken to be used on my double page spread. As can be seen, I moved the shot along to the right in order to give some space I could crop away on the left hand side.

The bottom row of pictures was to be used on my contents page. The one-tone background was added to make cutting out of the picture easier.

The following photos were used on my cover and contents page.

These two pictures were designed to be used on my front cover. I decided I wanted a picture which evoked the ideas of a previous idea. The pose is commonly associated with ‘Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody’. I used a one-tone background in order to allow me to cut out the faces of the band members and rearrange them in any way I wanted. I used the right hand picture as I felt the faces would become contorted if needed to be stretched on the right hand picture.

This picture was taken in order to be used on my contents page. The band member is dressed so as to look as though they have just come out of work. The idea for this is that I wanted a section to be dedicated to busking in people’s cities.

Mock Up

Front Cover

This is the front cover mock-up of my music magazine. It utilises a rough-cut banner and two rough-cut pieces at the side to specify information. The band was cut out and arranged in a manner which I found gave me more space where needs be. I think the colour scheme could be improved upon though and use a less imposing red.

Contents

This the contents mockup for my music magazine. I utilised the same colour scheme as I used on cover, this is again a black, red and white scheme. With an exact half of the page dedicated to the biggest articles in the magazine with a medium-sized picture. This means that I can use the other half to explain lesser articles within the magazine.
