Construction Schedule

Week 1 (11.12.15) – On the first week, i created draft layouts for my products and although I decided not to really look at these that often, it was a learning curve on how to layout my magazine and it gave me various ideas and tips. Week 2 & 3 – (18.12.15/25.12.15) – On these two weeks, I collected photos for the products, going to the studio and a couple of occasions and making sure they were to my standard. I then had to choose the best photos which would best suit the magazine fit and layout purposes. Week 4 & 5 (02.01.16/09.01.16) – On Week 5, I made my cover photo for my magazine. I enjoyed this piece of work my favourite because it was also the most important, making sure you included features that would attract your audience and make them want to buy it, and overall I was very happy with my cover photo. Week 6 & 7 (16.01.16/ 23.01.16) – On these two weeks, I decided to build my contents page. I found this was a hard piece to create because it was key you filled up the whole page with content and made up stories. It was important also to include little features such as page numbers to the stories and sub heading etc. Week 8 & 9 (30.01.16/05.02.16) - On these two weeks, I paid attention on constructing my feature article. I left this area of my product last because I felt it was the most difficult area of the products and would take the most care and consideration. Not saying that I rushed my other two products, because I didn’t, I just had to think more about my feature article and make sure it was accurate and presentable. Week 10 (12.02.16) – On the 10th week, I had finished making necessary changes to my products and I published them to my blog, 100% happy with them. Although in this last week, I didn’t have loads of changes I wanted to make, there were minor things I needed to change to my products and I feel confident and happy about my products now.

Location/Props/Costumes

The location for the photos that I took for my final products was in a studio, using professional soft box lighting, a DSLR camera and a green screen. I couldn't really think of a very good location outside of the studio as to where I could've taken some photos, but I am happy with my decision in using the studio. This is because you can allow yourself high quality, crisp images that aren't going to let you down. The green screen allowed me to choose a specific background for my photo if need be, to suit the colour scheme for my magazine. I didn't use any props during the photo shoot because I didn't feel it was necessary, and I didn't think it would improve the pictures in any way. The costume of the model was a hoodie, tracksuit bottoms and a snap back. These clothes enhance the Rap feel of the magazine and suits the genre and the target audience can relate to this dress code. I got the model to also where a watch to show that Rapers tend to where bling.

Font and Colour Mood Board Analysis

Font and Colour Mood Board Analysis Font- The font that is used in any magazine is very important. It needs to be clear, bold and easy to read. For a masthead or any sorry of heading, it is doubly important that the font stands out and catches the audience’s eye. Although this may be tricky, the font should also have a slight connection to the genre (of the music magazine) to indicate to the audience that it is in fact that genre. For example, for rock music, because it is very loud and hard-hitting music, it would include spikier, pointier text. Whereas more indie, hip-hop music on the other hand, it more happy and relaxed so the font would be more curved, plump or cloud-like shaped. For my rap magazine, I am going to use big bold text, with an American type of theme due to the popularity that rap has in America. Colour- Similarly to the font in a magazine, the colours used throughout the magazine is also very important. On the front cover of a magazine, the amount of colours used should be limited to about 4 maximum. This is so the front over doesn’t look untidy and scruffy. The colour palette is important because really it should have a connection with the genre of the music that you’re doing. For example, the gothic, rock, punk, music magazines will include darker colours like black, grey, navy etc. On the other hand, indie, RnB, hip-hop genre magazines will included brighter colours like red, orange, yellow, green etc. In my magazine, because it is Rap (quite a deep, emotional genre), the colours I’m mostly going to use will be black and white. But because of the American Theme I’m doing, there will be hints of blue and red also.
