MODELS


MODELS






This is Ash Kayser. I have used him as my main model for the magazine. His style and attitude matches the look and concept of the magazine. Also, his ethnicity represents the general perception of what people usually relate R&B music too. 



















This is Zoe Williams. I have taken photos of her for my contents page. She also matched the style of what my magazine represents. I have used her image for my contents page as a 'next issue' article.










I used Leah Lambert, Elspeth Rutter and Imogen Woollard for my R&B band image 'Jagged edge'. They have good chemistry together, therefore I felt the image would work well. Immy is in the middle as she presents the most confidence. They all have a similar persona, which makes the picture work.

MOCK UP CONTENTS PAGE


This is my first try at figuring out the layout for my contents magazine page. I kept the background the same, to keep a consistency. I used the C from my magazine name 'CHAOS', because it creates more space and keeps it simplistic, therefore easier to establish. I have been trying to fit the word 'contents' around the page, but at the moment it is proven to be a difficulty. I don't want the C from chaos to clash with the C from contents. I am also trying to create a unique spin on how the wording is laded out. Also, the gradient tool I used has lightened the bottom of the page too much, therefore I need to re-do the colour scheme slightly so that it is darker.

MOCK UP FRONT COVER


MOCK UP FRONT COVER


This is a mock up of my music magazine front cover. I've used Braggadocio font- aztec type font. I think it fits in well with the 'festival theme' as aztec prints resemble a lot of festival themes. It's bold, therefore it makes a statement. I'm having the feature list on the right, top hand side of my magazine layout, as it's inline with the subheading below. It looks neat and not too crowded.  I'm using a medium shot as from my research, I established that a medium shot focuses on facial expression as well as there body language and there clothes(image).  For the features and the line at the bottom of the page, I used a minion pro font- Bold cond. Perhaps it needs to be slightly bolder, but i think the text is eye catching enough and clear. It doesn't distract you from the headline. I used WORD to create an arrow, and kept the colour scheme consistent with the background and font. I took this idea from Clash magazine. I thought it was a good concept to add in to the magazine as it has a focus on the 'free tickets' you can win. It's purpose is to advertise, therefore it's increasing the promotional value of it.
