T0 help me with production of my overall magazine i researched into a webesite called www.namepistol.com going onto the band name and old school name generators i randomly pressed go untill eventually i got a unique but yet suited the genre of my magazine.

Some of the names i used

ATTACK OF THE NERDS

BURGER CHIP SQUAD

SLAM DOCTOR FUNK

JAM MIXER BIG

Here is my progression on adobe photo shop with my masthead. Structured in order the last two creations are the ones i have decided to take foward onto the final.

The reasons for this was the way the colours encounterd the text font this being "28 days later"

and how it readresses the cracks and retro framed letters.

FINAL DRAFT SKETCHED BEFORE CONSTRUCTION OF THE REAL

THERE TO SUPPORT THE LAYOUT AND COLOUR THEMES

SCALED CORRECTLY

All magazines have extras when making sure their magazines are that little bit better than the rivals beside them on the shelf. In this case magzines such a kerrang and NME have endless prizes and exclusive gifts to be won swaying more people to buy the magazine as they can now even look and act like their idols in the issue.

Above is a scene i have created with some summer clothes of my own pamperd togther it can give a powerful image to my target audience and with come attractive text above "Get hooked up now" will definatley make them think they are part of the future shock genre and will draw them in to want the next issue for more exlusives.

Packing the clothes and accesseries tightly togther i played around with various positions and camera angles to compliment the over powering colours of the material. Also to help the prizes stand out i placed a pillow underneath the t-shirt to give a more compact feel to picture giving a sense theirs more goods than what there is actually.

Experimenting with ideas for my magazine here are some graffiti sytled mastheads which i have constructed with permanant marker and florencant gel pens on paper. Having the idea of scanning the images in onto adobe photoshop i relised it would be extremely diifcult at cutting the text out and placing in a black dropped text box. Another factor was that the colours i have used will look faded to the house style future shocj will have the main reason as quality on photoshop are alot more fuller and bold. However i have put them on incase later on with development a more suitable idea arrouses.

DENOTATIONS AND CONNOATATIONS

To take my pictures in such a layed back enviroment can have many deeper meanings than its just simply what is seen.

Looking at this shot i have taken cleary denotes a field some typical council houses and blus skies.

Looking deeper however it can be seen that a summer vibe is kicking in and the lower shadow bottom page can conote that the grassy banking can be a great place to thinks thoughts through and make music possibly just an overall positive sight where you can easily socialise. That is the reason i have used this place to take snaps of my second representation of a music artist.

Furthering with my photography he is a mediam close up which is ideal for the front cover of my magazine. Directing my actor i wanted him to look directly into the camera lense and pull a serious face this makes my work more professional and shows i have controll over my work. I also wanted to show the different personalities of the artist making the front cover more interesnting to look at therefore changing the angles and sceneary when ever possible.

ACTION SHOTS

The next two images are ones i have took when the character is moving this adds a flowing feel to my work and shows a unique selection of movement between my actors.


In many ways this picture can show insecurity and conotations of shyness this isnt a bad thing as it tells my fan base everyone is different in their own way and not all stereotypical to just one area. Along with this it gives the audience a chance to bond with the artists and form a suttle kind of relationship. This wouldnt work if all the shots were bland and a repeat version of the previous.



(Both these two images will be in "Future Shock" however the pages arnt known yet.)
