Front Cover Digital Mock Up

I have recently submitted my front cover for my magazine, I forgot to submit my digital mock up using Publisher I completed a few days before I started my cover. Below is what I intended to do for my front cover.

Flat Line Front Cover

I have now completed the Front Cover to my magazine Flat line, below is the finished result.

I have spent over 2 hours working on this front cover and everything within this cover was done during this time, except the photos I took (Background image, sub heading image etc) where done another day and took around a hour to take.

the reason i went for this design is that when I did the logo it has black, white and green in it and I wanted to stick to that home colour style so most text and borders use the same colours as my logo. I believe this works very well especially with my black and white background I used.

The main headline which includes me as a already famous music artist working on a new msuic project with some new band members, I went with the name "Codename: Pr0j3kT" (Spelt and suppose to mean Codename: Project). I used a mixture of capitals, numbers and different letters that is suppose to reprsent the genre of the new band. Which will be a "Electronic Rock" band similar to Pendulum. I included only myself because I want this story to seem pretty much a secret because up untill the magazines release no one has heard of this upcoming band. And the magazine Flat Line are the only ones to get a insight of the story.

I followed my original concept very well (Check older Posts) and added new things along the way as well as got rid of some previous ideas, like in my previous draft I was originaly intending to include text featuring the magazine number under the title, but I got rid of this because it would interfere with my background. New content I have added can be seen under the main headline which gives further insight of the main story.

I feel very impressed with my final product and plan to do a full evaluation once I have completed all my other work.

Please leave feedback on what you think of my front cover.

Magazine Ftont Cover, Contents and Double Page rough drafts

Over the last few days I have came up with rough hand drawn drafts for my Music Magzine, below are each scanned copies of my hand drawn drafts I apologise for the quality.

This is the front cover for my Music Magazine "Flat Line". This front cover is a rough layout draft of where I will put the content of my magazines front cover.


I have based this design on some of the previous magazines I have slooked at (Check earlier posts), such as the italic shaopes and placed contents such as title, logo, images etc. I still do not know what the manin background image and storys will be included in my magazine as well as some addition font sizes, fonts, colours etc. But I will make sure to use this as a template for my future work.

This is the contents page for my magazine, I have reasearched othher magazines to come up with ideas for my contents page.


This contents page will share a lot of same features as the contents page such as the italic fonts style and layout, I intend to use this for most of my content within this page. I feel rpetty pelased with this but when I create the finalr esult I believe the magazine's content page will look a bit different then this.

This is my double page spread layout for my music magazine, I have placed a long dotted line going down the page which is suppose to represent the two pages.

Inside these pages will be a lot of similar fonts and sizes used in ropevious pages, but I intent to change a lot of style when it comes to the band/singer interview, I am also going to be using italic likes tyle once again. I have placed a sub story under the main image of this page which will act as a "Interviews impression" or other bands members talking and include images.

Magazine name and logo design

Over the weekend I have been working on the name and logo of my magazine, I have been unable to submit my work on the date I completed it over the weekend due to connection problems.

Name of the Magazine

I first decided to come up with names for my magazine, below is a a scan of some names I wrote down on a A4 piece of paper, I apologise for the scan quality. When I was coming up with names at first wanted to merge "Rock words" with Animals, such as Heavy Horse, Metal Snake, Rock dog etc. Not only did these sound silly but I went off the idea. I eventually started to think of names that have an english theme such as UK Rockz and Yorkshire Hammer. These did not really work for me, as well as I wanted my magazine not to look like and England exclusive magazine. I friend gave me an idea for a name called "Flat Line" and I liked the idea, it sounded like something you would expect from a Rock/Metal magazine and with the right logo it would look great so I came up with the idea.

Logo Design

With my magazine name ready I could now focus on making a logo. I first looked on "Macromedia Fireworks" for some font styless and below are some example fonts I liked.

After looking at these fonts I decided to use the 1st, 3rd and 5th one for a logo. But only one would be used so I started to sketch some ideas down for my magazines logo. Below is what I came up with, I am apologise for the scan quality.

Once I completed these logo designs I knew I would only need to use one, out of all 3 sketches I made i decided to sue the 3rd logo. This had the 5th font and was my favourite ebcause I had a crumble effect and a heart beat monitor in front of ti which relates to "Flat Line", I also thought I could add some effects eventually when I make the finak version.

I have now fully completed my logo and the results are below.

I believe this looks like what I planned and worked very well since I added effects, the quality of the JPEG file does really mess up the look buyt I do believe that it looks very well.

Price and Release of my Magazine

For my Rock/Metal magazine I must now come up with a price for the magazine. After identifying the other magazines I have used in my market research I have found that most of these magazines estimate upto £3-£5 and possibly higher.

My magazine will feature around 80-90 pages of content and more pages for future issues, so by the number of pages and my content I have decided to my magazine price will be...

£3.99

I find this is a reasonabler price to ask for the customers especially with the content I am going to introduce, the magazine should sell at this fair price.

Most of the magazines I have researched appear to be released one every month, I find this is a good way to publish the magazine because there can be more content every month. So I will release my magazine Monthly.

My target audience for this magazine is Rock/Metal fans and the age group will be 16-21. The reason for this is because since my magazine is going to me aimed for this age group it will be  mostly students who purchase this. The magazine is a monthly thing and although £3.99 may seem expensive for a magazine but its a monthly thing that will include a lot of content of the target audience so it will be worth while.

Market Reasearch Part 3: Q Magazine

For my third and final market research I have found Q magazine which specialises in a Indie/Rock genre of music, below is my work.

Front Cover

These are both the front covers of Q magazine, each cover appears on both the front and back of the magazine that is not really seen much today.

L: The language of the magzine uses comes from the hadlines of each individual cover of the magazine, both Muse and U2 are big rock bands and have done many things in the music industry and I geuss that there both very big they both gave them a front cover because there that good. Each front cover has a effect background but the only difference is that th Muse cover has a sort of blue glow while the U2 cover has a red glow. Each cover has different headlines on both sides showing that the magazine has a lot to offer which appeals to Indie/Rock and Pop fans. The U2 cover use white text with a smart font as well as a red box behind them so it is easier to read, uses same font style and colour but they have blue boxes behind them.

I: The magazine has its own publisher and that them self.

I: Each cover both bands have different poses and style of clothing but they both appear in the middle of the page as well as one of the band members infront of the Q magazine logo. Both bands seem to wear clean common clothing which reflects the Indie image. Another different between the bands that si they both have a different clothes look, Muse seem to be wearing smart casual suits, shirts, pants and shoes, while U2 have more of a Rock look wiith there T shirts or long sleave tartered shirts, jeans, letaher jackets and black shows they seem to have more of a rock look. These differences of the front cover between the two bands could be a possible hidden message that they "Have the best of both worlds", one being Indie and the other being Rock.

A: The target audience of this magazine appears to be Indie and a new Rock generation, this is notified because of the bands they use as well as the headlines involving other bands. I would suggest the target age for this magazine would be 16-21 and maybe even possibly a younger age depending on the content of the magazine.

R: Q uses its own unique house style which is clean and straight to the point, none of these artists that are featured on the front covers appear to be tacky or sweaty they appear to be clean and are true stars, the layouts and font are also clean because nothing appears to be dark or in the way of each other (Exceot that each cover has a band member infront of the Q logo, this was on purpose).

Contents page



This is a double page content spread in Q magazine.

L: The language pretty much suggests again that the magazine is a Indie/Rock magazine because of the use of bands they use in there contents page, the main headline's are from both front covers of Q magazine which are Muse and U2, they appear to be the meain headline because there the first image we notice on the left hand side because its big and noticable. the layout of the magaine is pretty smart as usual because everything seems to be in order as well as some images ove rlapping others, this is purposely done. The font and style is similar to the cover, it has the same font bu the colour is now red and the background is white so it is easier to read.

I: The magazine has its own publisher and that them self.

I: The contents band can easily be identified with the Indie Music Genre and each picture is nicely layed out letting the reader to easily read each headline.

A: As I said before it is targeted for the Indie and new age Rock audience and the target audience would be 16-21 and possibly younger.

R: The magazine uses a smart layout threwout each part of the magazine giving it a clean straight to te point look, which is good and will be a crucial selling point for the magazine.

Double Page Spread

This is the double page spread for Q Magazine.

L: The language we can see from this double page layout is that is clean and straight to the point as I stated in my previous research of this magazine, tis very clean and uses its font, colours and layout very well, such as the similar font but black text, white background so it is can be easier to read the interviews and images placed in appropriate places so the layout is very well done. One the first page (Left hand side) it uses a image that was drawn for the magazine which looks very smart and a indie like look.

I: The magazine has its own publisher and that them self.

I: The magazine can be identified as a Indie/Rock magazine by the interview with the band, but the own house style and smart layout works very well for the magazine.

A: As I said before the magazine is aimed for Indie and new age Rock fans and the age group woulkd be 16-21 and possibly younger.

R: The magazine uses its own house style and works rather well, the font, layout, images look great on the double page spread and explains the interview rather well.

Market Research part 2: Metal Hammer

I have found another Rock/Metal magazine I can use LIIAR to analyse the cover, content page's and couble page spread, below is the result of my work.

Front Cover

This is the front cover for Metal Hammer Magzine.

L: For this isssue fo metal Hammer they use a A4 portrait sized photo of a popular Metal band "Avenged Sevonfold" which instantly declares the genre of the magazine, the dark colours also indicate the genre of tyhe magazine and the only most known light colours this front cover uses is the white titles for the band and the logo of the magazine. The logo's of the band and magazine have there own house style, Avenged Sevonfold use the logo they made for there album covers, posters, advertisements etc, the Metal Hammer logo uses a sharp style font which appears to be grafitied on to the magazine making it the metal, rebelous look.

I: The magazine uses its own Publisher and it is itself.

I: The magazine's main genre is Metal and by the looks of the magazine front cover we know what genre it is because of the band members appear to be heavy metal stars, with there tattoo's, black clothing, the leather biker like jackets which all are seen as a "Metal/Rebellious" look.

A: The magazine is target for those who love Rock and Metal music, its mainly for Metal readers as well as various forms of Metal like Alternative, Thrash, Heavy, Screamo etc. The age audience I would suggest would be 18 onwards because it looks like one of those magazine that will mention swear words, sexual content and more adult like content.

R: The magazine would most probaly sell because of the front cover's headline story which is Avenged Sevonfolds first interview after a bedloved member unfortunatly passed, Metal fans that are fans of the band may have not heard of the band since the death of the member and the magazine states "The first time they open up since the death of Jimmy Sullivan", and this would get the readers to purchase the magazine because they want to know more about the bands situation.

Contents Page

This is the contents page for the Metal Hammer magzine.

L: It appears this page has 2 sides which some headlines appear to be on the left hand side of the page and picture headlines are on the Right as well as the bottom. The content on the left hand side seems to have a "Gothic" like feel to it because of the use of font, colour and background. The font appears to be a gothic like font (Do not know the name of), the colours used are red and black which seem to be a dark, sinister, death like colour, the background appears to be a old book which si used to explain the content. The right hand side of the contents page appears to have picture with numbers directing the reader to the page featuring the headlines of the magazine, one again it uses the gothic like font and red and white text which again can be associated with the Metal Music culture, it appears to have a black background so readers can read the white text easily, again this colour is relatied to the metal culture. The page also has pictures of metal bands to show whats included in the magazine.

I: The magazine uses its own Publisher and it is itself.

I: A look inside the magzine and once the reader notices the cotnents page and look at the house style, pictures and content they would easily identify the music genre of the magazine but some may see it as a darker sort of metal genre or gothic genre.

A: The contents page can easily be identified for the Metal fans, and this is ebcause of the use of colours, content and pictures. This works very well and is very good how the desigins layed out this magazine and gaved it its own house style.

R: As much as the magazines layout is pretty much perfect the main selling point would have to be the content inside the magazine, this is a very important point of any metal magazine and the content must have something very interesting to getr eaders to buy it, I believe this magazine does it very well because of the bands that are being interviewed in this magazine.

Double Page Spread

This is the double page spread for Metal Hammer Magazine.

L: The double page spread is the headline of the front vover of this magazine and it is the "Avenged Sevonfold" Interview. The language people can identift from this magazine can easily be seen that this is a Metal magazine, the sue of the gothic and italic black font represents the metal culture very well, the background on the second oage appears to be a old book page which again uses the representation very well, the use of the bands logo is used again. On the left hand side of the page (The first image) is an image of one of the band member in standing on a drum part (in memory of the deceased band member), and in the background it appears to eb a dark city, the clothes he wear such as the black clothing, leather jacket and black shades represent the metal culture as well as whats behind him.

I: The magazine uses its own Publisher and it is itself.

I: Like many other pages in this magazine once looked at people will notice that it can be identified as a metal magazine, it has a dark feel to it which is what most metal fans like, as well as the interview with the popular band "Avenged Sevonfold" which will interest readers more.

A: The audience can be easily identifed once again with this page indicating this is a Metal music lovers magazine.

R: The use of colour, fonts, and layout really do say a lot about this magazine because it can be easily identified that what the magazine is and who it si aimed for, the magazine's layout is a very smart way on how this magazine reflects its genre and will be a very good selling point.

Market Research part 1: Kerrang

For my first market Research I decideed to look at a Kerrang magazine.

Front Cover

This is the front cover of the Kerrang Magazine.

L: Kerrang uses a white background but overlapping it includes a lot of images with text describing the contents of the magazine. They also use big bold lettering to describe whats ibside the magazine as well as there well known logo.

I: The magazine has its own publisher which is Kerrang.

I: The magazine is easily identified as a Rock magazine because of the contents as well as the font style of the text, some of the big bold letters identifty the magazine as well.

A: The target audience is easily identifed as a Rock style magazine so obvously the magazine is targeted to Rock music lovers, the target age I would identift as a 16 and above age group.

R: This magazine will sell because of the contents, it has most the main headlines appeard on the magazine which would get people interested in buying it, as well as text on the top and bottom of the bage with other content inside.

Contents Page

This is the contents page of the Kerrang magazine.

L: The language indicates that it is a Rock magazine because the contents page show the reader that the contents includes content from famous artists, as well as the use of there logo font being used for headlines and sub texts.

I: the publisher is it self.

I: With the use of fonts, colours and pictures it is identifed as a Rock magzine, such as the black backgrounds behind the ehadlines and the logo's font appears to be ruggard and striking, it is suppose to represent Rock.

A: the target audience could easily identify with the contents of this magazine, such as the headline which features "Slash" who is one of the most famous Guitarist's in the world, rock lovers could easily identify this and would be interested in reading it.

R: The magazine has contents on which you would expect from any type of music magazine such as interviews, previews etc. But because of its genre it sticks to news related to the Rock music industry.

Double Page Spread

(I apologise for the scanning quality)

This is the double pahe spread out for Karrang Magzine.

L: The magazine used small white neatly fonted text to descrive to the reader what the contents is abaout, as well as big read bold text that gives the title to the page. They use black and white images in the background which is a sort of rock style and does not interfeer with the white text, and the sue of red coloured text for the titles.

I: The publisher is it self.

I: The colours used in this double page layout really reflects the Rock Music industry, black, white andf red are good striking colours that are not just plain and simple but have the representatuion of strong, bold powerful words which is what Rock is mostly about, "Power to the peopleby there awesome music".

A: The target audience could easily identify the Rock cultire in the magazine with the colours which really is the selling point of this magazine, but the interview with the band is also which is very important and will make or break the magazine, the interviews layout is simply and keeps the text to a side neatly in order and images of the band at the bottom of the page, as well as a cool black and white photo of the band as the poages background.

R: The magazine double page spreadout is really one of a kind, it most probaly is used by other Rock/Metal magazines but this one is special because of the colours which indicate the magazines genre of Rock music.

Choice of Music

I have decided to do a magzine based around the Rock and Metal genre, I have explained this in a previous post on why I have chosen it but I shall repeat myself and say why I have chosen it, I have chosen it because I know more about those certain types of genre's and there is no real serious Rock/Metal magazines around (Apart from Kerrang, Metal Hammer etc) that have alot of information about some of the big band names, most Rock magazines intend of doing music about the new pop rock music sensation as well as emo and pop punk, my magzine will be different and try to include as much possible stories as I can anout true Rock/Metal music from bands like...

• Iron Maiden
• Aveneged Sevonfold
• Metallica
• System of a Down
• KoRn
• Def Leppord
• Guns N Roses
• AC/DC
• Distubed
• Papa Roach
• Machine Head

I will try include as many of these bands but I am mainly going to identift some of the big names that will attract Rock/Metal listeners.

LIIAR Interpretation of the Biref

Music Magazine Brief

For my music magazine genre I have decided to use a Rock/Matel genre because not only is it my favourite type of music, I know more about this genre then any other music genre. My magazine will be aimed at Rock and Metal fans obviously, but my age group will be 18-24 because it seems a more appropriate age to aim towards because this will be a monthly magazine that will include upto 80 pages and a reasonable price, and the content will be very exclusive interviews and features.

Evaluation on my Magazine Task

I have recenelty finished my magazine task here and I have now come to evaluating my work.

Evaluation

Once I started my magazine my main ambition was to make sure I make a stylish looking magazine that looks professionally well done and attracts attention, this would be the media language I would use. My first task was create the layout and although it was simple it was very well spaced out and once I inserted a background, pictures and text it would look like the colours off these items would not effect the background. Since the magazine was based around Wyke college I stuck with the home colours of la light blue which I used on my logo, as well as various effects which shows that it is aimed for Wyke, as well as taking images and using text that are all relevant to Wyke college.

Since my magazine is made from Wyke Students for Wyke students, there was no need to make up a publishing company which would produce the magazine for the students, although the company behind the publishing was Wyke college I guess we can see the institution of the magazine is Wyke College.

My cover of the magazine is based around Wyke college and includes story’s from around wyke college, so people can say that Wyke students, teachers and parents/guardians would be interested in reading about the magazine, this is the ideology of my magazine. My background was a portrait picture of a friend on top of the Oak balcony in the Oak building, holding the student hand book and in the background was the new library and some new features in the Wyke building, this was done to show that the magazine is what it was made for and that is a Wyke college magazine.

As the magazine was made for it is obviously aimed for the students, teachers and parents/guardians of Wyke college as I stated earlier, I think this works rather well because it does as it was made for and has a lot of stories that have been going on around wyke college. I believe my target audience worked rather well in this task.

Representation is a very important thing I have been taught about since I have taken media here at Wyke, because it can offer good and bad points of my magazine and it would judge how good it is or not. I believe the magazine has the representation of a true college magazine because it includes everything a college magazine should, such as information of the new buildings or teachers, how the local sports teams are doing and special offers to inform the students and as well as many other things, I believe this is a good representation of my college magazine.

I feel like I did rather well in this task but I did not use my time correctly because I almost had a week left with no work done, but since I changed my act and got to work harder thanks to my teacher I managed to get on track to finishing it. I think the good points about this task that once I got myself together I worked hard to get this work done, but I also feel like this task did not go very well because I did not know what I was doing at first, as well as my college magazine looks pretty rough in ways (Rough images, simple and boring text, word art use etc). Keeping these problems in mind it will help me work better in my future tasks so I take this as a learning point in my work here at Wyke that I should work harder and use my time more wisely in the future.

Contents Page Draft!

This is a draft of my contents page I made on Publisher. enjoy...

My College Magazine Cover!

I have finnaly been able to complete my Colleger magazine cover, below is what it shall look like.

Conventions on my Magazine Cover and Content's page UPDATED!

22/10/10: I have now managed to upload my images for the drafts of my contents page, cover page and some logo designs, I apologise for the quality of my scanned drafts.

From the information I have gathered from my previous post (Check my last blog), I have been given ideas that I can use for my magazine cover and contents page.

The Cover

From the two magazine's cover I looked at they both seem to use as the main background an image of college students from a photo or edited photo using a photo editing software (Photoshop, Fireworks etc), I will follow the same idea and take a picture of a fellow student in an area of my college.

The photo will be portrait size so it can fill the page, the magazine's title will be at the top of the page.

As for the contents of the cover I will include small picture of wyke related story and will be the main headlines of the magazine, including another creative word art text to tell whats inside the magazine. I am soon going to find out some story's based around Wyke such as the local sports teams, future events or the completion of the Wyke OAK Building and campus area.

NOTE: The barcode will not be included now!

Contents Page

The contents page's I have looked at from the examples I have been researching both obviously give story's of the college and where to find them in there magazine, this is what normally people to expect in a contents page but I have noticed the use of a creative border and text that is brigth and appealing onto the contents page.

I am going to use a similar colourful border that surrounds my contents page, and inside will be a simple text to direct the reader to the certain pages, I will alsom use the images from the headlines of the cover page so it will have further information and where to find the page inside the contents page.

Logo

Before I updated this post I came up with names for my magazine, I decided to go with "Wyke Weekly". Below are some cencept designs for my magazine logo.

These ideas have helped me alot with coming up with ideas for my future magazine.

LIIAR College Magazing Examples UPDATED!

For tyhis latest task I have looked at two different College Magazines front cover and contents page and use LIIAR to analyse them, below are my results.

Example 1

This is the cover for a Student Life magazine made by another Media student at East Riding College.

Language: The language used in this piece is simple and goes straight to the point, we know its a college magazine because of the title which is named "Student Life", and we notice other features on the front page indicating it has came from a college because it features alot of information on the college and activities.

Institution: The magazine does not have an organisation about it, just a college that does not have any TV shows, radio programs etc.

Ideoloy: The magazine features no sort of ideology that I have not noticed.

Audience: This magazine is obviously ment to be aimed at the students of the college magazine, and it does so very well with interesting smart lay out, simply text and a great picture for the magazines front cover.

Representation: The magazine features limited colours, apart from an eye ctaching photo there is mainly a black background that shows power and intelligence. It also uses white text to let it stand out and easyily read.

This is the contents page for the "Student Life" college magazine.

Language: The contents page expresses the language simply and gets straight to the point, it is relevant to the college magazine because it tells the reader where to find the page of a certain topic, and each topic is relevant to a college interest.

Institution: The magazine does not have an organisation about it, just a college that does not have any TV shows, radio programs etc.

Ideoloy: The magazine features no sort of ideology that I have not noticed.

Audience: This magazine is obviously ment to be aimed at the students of the college magazine, unlike the cover page this contents page uses alot more colours and pictures that stand out and appeal pretty well, they could of made a smarter lay out so there wouldn't be alot of blank spaces.

Representation: The contents page uses more colours in the background such as a black border, white background and a lime green contents box so the writing can be easily read.

Example 2

This is a College magazine example from Grimsby College.

Language: The language used in this magazine is very appealing and gives a urban look and it it gives people the idea it is aimed to the youth, the text if read is seen to be aimed at college.

This is the Contents page for the Grimsby College magzine.

Language: The contents page uses a ride range of colours, adds and pictures that makes it look professionally done. If read people could see  was aimed for the young students that go to the college.

Institution: The magazine does not have an organisation about it, just a college that does not have any TV shows, radio programs etc.

Ideoloy: The magazine features no sort of ideology that I have not noticed.

Audience: Like the other examples I have presented it is simed towards a college student from the certain college they go to.

Representation: Like its cover it used alot of colours, pictures and adds that appeal to look like its a young urban magazine that is aimed to the young.

LIIAR Interpatation of the Brief

Language: The terminology used in a piece of Media. The language and terms have to be relevant to the media piece.

Institution: The company behind the magazine that also has a list of other media formats, such as TV shows/channels, websites radio shows.

Ideology: Individual media pieces that try to get across such as different themes and ideas that could be relevant to the certain product that would use sterotypical add campaigns to ger there product noticed.

Audience: The target audience of the product and what the product should be aimed for, such as if I was making a magzine based around education my audience would be students and teachers.

Representation: How the concepts of Ideology are put forward to show the themes of the product, such as valentine's day cards that use the representation of the colour red to show love, compassion etc.

The Brief

Preliminary Excercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front pageof a new schoo/colege magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plussome appropiately laid-out text and masthead.Additionally you must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their graspof DTP.
