my final outcomes

My Final Front Cover

this is my final front cover for my music magazine. the main image on the front is a large image of Laurenn a  member of the band 'SHOCK BLOCK' and the image i used, i did so to portray the look anti social and being rebellious the zoom on the text was done on page plus i added it to give the effect of it being smashed down onto the magazine after everything else was done just this was forced on and also relates to how well the band have done and how quickly, like have literally burst onto the scene. on the side with my sub stories i tried normal boxed images and did not like it so i obscured them on page plus and just so they looked wonky and unusual. the sticker on the magazine underneath the 100 was done to show about gigs and many magazines do this and use it as pugs for gigs of free items so i used it for the sonisophere festival, and i put no line around it so it looked like a sticker. across the top i put a strap line to show there was an exclusive about the band Emtrex which people would like to know more about. as you can see from the name of the magazine 'PARIDISE' it is spelt differently to the original paradise and i did this as it sounds the same when saying it but i did it to show relaxation and this magazine is not a stressful one but one you can read and be relaxed and it can take you to paradise.

My Final Contents Page

This is my final contents page and i have continued to use the colour scheme of black, white, red and yellow i have used 4 picture one large that covers about two third of the picture bit, on my pictures i added a thick black line around it and numbers which relate to the box at the bottom which tells you pages to find what you want.behind all this when starting the background I put a solid box of red and the added a patterned transparency and a drop shadow which made it seem like it was floating in the air, and that light was shining through it at the very top i put a big box with the text 'THIS WEEK' to remind people it is a weekly magazine and this is the contents of the magazine and at the bottom in the box i put all the information about the contents and related it back to the pictures. my pictures vary from studio shot to location shots in gigs and i have photoshoped them to enhance and make them seem more vibrant. with the small picture of lou lou at the top i photoshoped lots and mage it really dark and made her seem red and evil.

My Final Double Page Spread 

this is my final double page spread and again I have kept the colour scheme I have been using through out my magazine. I feel I have kept to the classic codes and conventions of a double page spread as about half the page is the image of the person in question and the other half is text. I enhanced the image in photoshop but just her so it made her stand out from the ordinary day background. when taking the picture I got her to pose in a relaxed, natural stance to show what typed of person she is and in everyday clothes such as trainers, jeans and a shirt. this make her seem ordinary and so  people can relate to her. in between the box of text and the image of her I put a quote but did each word individually and obscured it and strong word i put in capitals and put a colour box round them which makes pop out more. the stage name she goes by is lou lou so i put this in large text and in pink with a double line round it and i did this as she is a woman so pink seems and appropriate colour but she is a butch girl and that is why lou is spelt in the man way i also put a slight patterned transparency on the pink to add a cool effect. on the text boxes i kept the colour black and red but i put a thick black line round them and a water patterned transparency effect on it as it relates to paradise which is the name of the magazine.
