Major Task - (music magazine)

8th March 2010...

my front cover (BASS MAX)

I WANTED TO ACHEIVE A FRONT COVER,
THAT AWNSERED THE FOLLOWING:
- target audience..
- eye catching colours..
- realating infromation..
- up to date images..
- etc......

The front cover that inspired me to create the same sort of images and layout was the picture bellow.

the picture bellow is my interpritation of the mag cover above,

i belive mine relates to my breif well and also hits the same target audience although the magazine above is for hip hop artists, and mine is for DJ's - i belive my interpritation works well.. and hits the main objectives.

the colours relate, and the image as a background.. i really like it and how mine relates to it.

THE FINISHED EDDITED AND DONE ''BASS-MAX FRONT COVER''

 - i started with putting a background image of DEADMAU5 (which i took in reading).

using this as a background i then used layer after layer - of different text box's and contrasting colours to show a deffine difference in the way it looks, and the way it stands out as an eye catching front cover to my music (dj's) magazine..

 - i used a font called 'Ultra Serif SF' to give a relative font to my magazine titles and paragraphs.
i have taken the reading 2009 logo of the website (http://www.readingfestival.co.uk/) - this was allowed and approved my my media studies teacher. i would have written an email to them - or the head office to get their aproval.. but this was not possible as i couldnt find an email to send a message to.

 - after adding the background image, and layering the reading logo ontop, i then added a small strip textbox at the top, to contrast with the logo. then adding 'Ultra Serif SF' again i added a slogan line for a festival. its my own quote, and i really works well.
 - next, i added some more pictures that i took at reading. these were of perope in the crowd, it gives a feel of 'festival spirtits'.

 - next, i added a barcode that i found from (http://www.google.com/) again this was approved by my media teachers, and also it was copy-write free.

the way i added all of this together was editing, the boxes, changing photo sizes, matching the box colours - adding the same 'Ultra Serif SF' fonts. i really like the outcome, and belive it relates to my breif. it sucessfully looks like a (dj) magazine front cover, and with covering lessons i will use this to be my magazine ground point, using the same fonts and colours, and information. i really like my outcome!

next lesson i will start my contense page and begin to ruffly design my double page spread - on interviews/festivals or whatever i choose.

i had problems with my account (blogger) and it would not let me blog at the start. so i had a almost diary like plan of my blogging. these are the reasons why i am just re-typing my bloggs. and these are the reasons why my blog is posted on the 18th of march..
