Love the bright colours - really suit the theme of dance music and you can instantly get a feel for what the magazine is about before you even pick it up! Plus, it's good to see young people on the front cover as they would be the main audience for the magazine and it would appeal to them more to see people like themselves on the front.

It's really good, i think number 14 is a spelling error? Competition time? Eye catching colours ;) don't really like the font but thats me being wierd
Michelle Calverley
numbers are bit random seany lol but apart from that it looks good and i like the layout with the pictures at the bottom :)
Sam Spowage
^ i agree! But i like the font especially the colourrr it reallly stands out.. but what is the background picture i cant work it out?
Juanita Ransom
Don't think theres anything wrong with the numbers as you get them like that in magazines :) Like the way the contents aren't in in a list straight down, makes it more appealing to read :)
I agree with Steph and don't really like the font, think it's a bit too space age and science-like rather than dance aimed



Stephanie Fernando
Nice background interesting, the fonts legible and the pictures are clear
Michelle Calverley
i dont think you need the blue triangle in the corner, maybe a blue border instead?
Juanita Ransom
Don't know if it was just the way that software restricted you but I dont like the big square blocks and think if the edges were a bit faded, or if they were all the same colour it might look a bit better.
The layouts good and introduces the band well, although, there is a lot to take in and it might be a good idea to have this page still bright but a bit more simple to keep with the theme but mix it up a bit

pictures.

..


I chose to use this image for my front cover as it was one of the few photes where they were looking straight at the camera. I liked the way they were postitoned however when I edited them I made them close together. I chose what they had to wear I tried to stick to loads of colour and by giving them the instruments I think makes them stand out. when it came around to editing it I cutted out the background because although there was originally a white wall you could see the brown curtain as well and I didn't like it so I cut them out and put them onto a background I created.


..


this is one of the three images I chose for my contents page the reason why I chose this picture was because it show the band is having fun and getting along it contrast with the other images used on the page. when it came around to editing it the ony thing I did was change the lighting and made it more brighter as the original was a little bit dark. I kept the clothes the same as I was limited to costumes I thought I'd keep it simple. one thing that you cant really see but next to the guy there is a a little dent in the wall I didn't want to worry about this to much and you can only just see it I thought I would keep it in.

this is another image I used on the contents page I put this image in the middle as she is the lead singer of the band possibly the most importand member that has to stand out. I wanted this image to be a little bit serious but also have fun at the same time. the image also shows of her talent a bit and makes a statement. I didn't really do much editing in this picture as the lighting was perfect and the white wall background worked, the only thing I did do was crop the picture a little bit as from her head upwards was a massive white space. I aldo used this image on my double page spread this image was used as her bio picture I chose this as it stood out and I felt made a statement, it identifys who she is and what role she does in the band. I think the pose refelects on the dance music itself and makes it crazy.

this was the final image on my contents page I chose this image as I thought it was one of the best group band photes I took of them all. one of the main things I like in this picture is I think they are natural posses you would find in a normal band picture. this deffinatly stood out for me the most and once again I didn't have to edit it I only roatated it slightly on the page. I was slightly worried about the curtain in the background but I kept it there as it made the image more natural.




this was another of the bio images, I really liked the pose that she did it contrasts with the other images that have been used. I decided to change the costume slightly and make her a little bit more rock as I wanted to make the appeal of her bigger and show that the band don't just have an interest in dance music they can mix in with other genres. When it came round to editing this phote what I did was put a pastal brush and make it look more professional and crop out some of the white background.

this is the final image I used for the bio pictures, I really like this image becuase it's off centre and has a slight edge to it. I decided to keep the costume the same as I wanted to give him iduviduality I chose to put the scarf onto him to make him look like he is up to date with the fashion. when it came around to editing I cut him out completly as I really didnt like the fence and the random tree in the backround. I also like the over exaggerated smile as it fit in the pop/cheesy style which links into the band mixing in with different genres.

Fonts.

Will & grace

this is the font I chose on my double page spread to brake up all the crazy colours and keep the magazine looking really simple and not too crazy. I used the font for the bio's off the band it has that more formal someone else wrote the information look. also its clear and easily read.

Terminator

This is the font I used throughout my magazine it is bold and when giving colour stands out. also the feedback giving its gives a scfi retro look into my dance magazine which I was trying to get across. some people disagreed on the use of this font as they thought it was too werid and coming across as a science magazine rather than dance aimed. I decided to use this font specifically on my title as I thought it would stand out and have a wow effect when the viewers first saw it.

this font is the font I used on my double page spread it is very creative and brakes up the normailty of the other fonts. I like the fact it has brakes in it as it refers to the dance music (dance brakes). I chose to have the purple colouring onto the blue backgorund as I thought it would stand out more and make it more clearer to use.

magazine ideas

my original idea for my magazine was pop however the pictures I had taken were not contrasting with the backgrounds and I couldnt find the right fonts to go with the pictures my original front cover I created, had a picture of beyonce on and it was black and white however it looked like an R&B magzine rather than pop so I changed it to a dance music magazine.
