Production Log #19 - Music Magazine

In my Media lesson, I continued with the front cover just to make sure that it is done on time. I added the ‘Rayners Lane and London/UK Artists’ heading at the top to let the readers know that the artists featuring the Music Magazine are based around Rayners Lane, London. I also added a text which says ‘featuring top 10 UK artists’ in black and in capitals so it can be seen by the readers very easily. I then added a barcode to make the magazine realistic and make the readers think that they have officially bought it off a shop.

Production Log #18 - Music Magazine

As I didn’t have Adobe InDesign at home, I had to use Adobe Photoshop CS6 in order to do my Music Magazine front cover. I started the front cover by coming up with an idea on how to impress the readers and decided to use a bright red rectangle and write ‘Rayners Magazine’ on top of it. I also mentioned the Twitter username and the Music Magazine price. Alternatively, I added the top UK artists on the left-hand right in black and capital letters. Next to the UK artists, I added the name of the artist who is going to be featuring as the front cover. The frame is added to give a unique feeling to the readers and also added a small message at the top to let the readers know about the latest albums to discover.

Production Log #17 - Music Magazine

When it came to placing my own photos on my music magazine contents page, I had to remove a lot of bits such as the blue background on the magazine page titles so that it matches the theme colours (white, black and red). I used high quality photos for my contents page because I wanted the contents page to look professional and understandable. At the bottom of the contents page, I added key words of the magazine such as ‘#iAintPerfect’, ‘Business Entrepreneur’, ‘UK Artist’ and ‘London Boy American Dreaming’. I added ‘Janakan Loganathan’ at the top of the main image (photo number 15) to make the reader remind of who’s article they are about to read.

Production Log #16 - Music Magazine

In my Media lesson, I started putting the photos I have taken over the half term into the contents page. I also wrote a small description of the artist in photo 20 to make the readers more interested into the artists. Alternatively, I changed the colour of the photo numbers to red so they stand out when people see the information from a far distance. In my next lesson, I am going continue writing the description of the artist in photo 20 to fill up the blue box and add photos which I have taken to make the magazine look busy.

Mastheads Designs (Music Magazine)

I have listed a few fonts which I think it suits my music magazine. I have decided that 'Badaboom BB' font is suitable as it looks bold and grabs the reader's mind when they look at something else in the magazine.

Mood Board - (Music Magazine)

This is the Mood Board which I have create that relates everything about Hip-hop/Rap music genre. These are the bits I would need in my final music magazine.
