MAIN COURSEWORK - PHOTOS

MAIN COURSEWORK - EVALUTION OF THE FINISHED MAGAZINE





FRONT COVER


It is not the same as normally dance magazines this is because on my magaznie i have more text on the front page. But on the contents page and the double page spread they are very similar to the normal magazines.
The social group that my magazine is aimed at ravers and people with a real interest for this kind of music. You know this because of all the bright colours which are associated with rave. My target audience is 18-40 eyar olds. This is because you have to be 18 to get into most clubs and the magazine is for ravers in clubs.

I have learnt how to used Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop well i can now use it feeling confindent and have also taught many others about how to use it.
I now feel that i have a better knowledge of magazines.

MAIN COURSEWORK - PHOTOS

These are the photos that i used in the contents page for my magazine.
I also have another photo but it wasnt possible to upload it on blogger.com for a temporary reason. i have retried to do it again but it did not work.
The photo of the boy with face paint on his face was taken at a music festival i used this photo because he looks like he is going to go clubbing.









In the photo of the girl i splashed her with paint this is because it gives the effect that she is clubbing.

MAIN COURSEWORK - PHOTOS

For my magazine i wanted to have photos which had the people looking like they were clubbing or 'raving'. I did this by using lots of bright colours and i used glowsticks because they are bright lights.
I also used pictures that i have already taken. The reason i used these is because i took some photos at a music festival and there were lots of bright colours which people had on their faces.
In my double page spread i used photos of my firends looking urban this is because the double page spread was about a dj and an mc. DJ's and MC's are stereotypically known as 'chavs' which are urban looking people who wear baggy trousers lots of silver jewellery, hats, bandanas and they usually show alot of attitude in their facial expressions.












These photos are the ones that i took for my double page spread. I only used the bottom 2 photos. The reason i used this was because i thought these photos give the most attitude.

MAIN COURSEWORK - FONTS

I have looked on the Internet on a website called Dafont.com to find different font styles I have come up with 3 fonts that i liked and i have listed the name of the font next to the title writing. I wrote in the name of what i wanted my magazine to be called which was "Trip Out!" I then compared them all with each other to see which one i preferred. Instead of choosing just one for the title i combined them all together.
This is the outcome:

I was going to combine of all the fonts combined between the fonts aaaiight!, Juice and Philly Sans.
I would used the T from the font PHILLY SANS because it is bold and it stands out and the font aaaiight doesn't use capital letters. The O & ! from the font JUICE this is because i preferred these letters in these fonts compared to the other ones. And the rest of the text was in the font AAAIIGHT! i did this because i like the design of the the font. But it only uses smaller case letters. This image will look bigger on the front of the front cover on the mag zine. This is what i was going to use for my magazine. But it is too complicated to do so i have just stuck to using the font PHILLY SANS. The reason why i have used his font is because the magaizne would go to people that are go out clubbing and usually on the clubbing posters it has this type of font.

I used the font LILY PUC on my double page spread and on the contents page. The reason i have used this font is because it is more fomal for an interview conversationand it is woiuld be easier for the readers to read.
