Overall Images I used For my Front Cover, Contents Page & Double Page Spread

Front Cover:

Contents Page:

Double Page Spread:

These are the photographs that I have chosen to use for my Music Magazine. The front cover photograph is successful in aiming this photograph to the audience. This achieves this because the model is female and the audience I am aiming at is mainly female but can be optional. The costume my model is wearing represents the music that is including in my magazine which is "unsigned" music so it's not very popular but the music is pure so there is no extreme element to the music. The location of the photograph for the front cover also represents the music because if this magazine was a Pop magazine, the photograph would be very edited as it would be most likely to be in a studio with a lot of studio light. Where as my location of the photograph implies emphasises that the music is its own genre of what musicians have made but ins't seen as pop, rock or the other stereotypical genres.

The first photo I chose for the contents page is the photograph I took of a festival I went to last summer. I chose this photograph because my magazine includes a lot of gig dates, festivals and live performances so I wanted to include a photo that would portray that. I like the atmosphere the photograph gives such as people with there hands up that show they are having a good time and the stage is visible which represents the live music. The second and third photograph are to represent two articles so it would break up the contents page.

The first photograph for my Double Page Spread (DPS) is my main photo. I want this photo to cover up most of the first page but I want it to run over to the next page a little which is why I took this photo in landscape. I chose this photograph because I liked how my model (music artist) is standing to the left side and how she does not take up the whole frame. I also like how there is a shine of light hitting her and the tree that create deep colours and is full of detail. This indicates what sort of music my artist plays. People would get the feel that she sings original music and uses instruments such as the acoustic guitar or piano because the location suggests a gentle and calming feeling to my artist.

The second photo for my DPS is a photograph of the back of my artist walking into the forest. I chose this photo for my flannel panel which has a bit of information about my artist (like a fact file) and thought this photo would look effective as it would suit the main image and break up the DPS
