Today I started to pick different photos that i have taken at live music events. I chose the ones that look most effective or close up shot. I started to edit them and cit around the backgorund if not needed.
My first idea was to use a live shot image of a band member, but now i feel that a composed image will look more better as it will use the rule of thirds and look clear on front page. My other images can be used inside the magazine on the double page spread article.

College Magazine

Today i finished creating my college magazine contents page. I used the colours purple, blue and yellow. I chose these colour as the purple matches the college logo. I chose the blue to make the magazine appeal to male as purple is for more females. I also put yellow to make the page more colour full and bright.

I inserted a picture of a student playing the guitar this was to get students involved in the magazine using images of other students, I added a yellow border to this image to make the image more colourful and adds to the colour scheme. I also inserted the different logos for the Kcc live radio station and college.

I used bold purple lines to separate the different parts of the contents page and as most magazine use this line effect.

This is the college magazine front cover that i created.

The main image was taken in KCC live which in a big part of Roby college and relates well with the magazine. The image uses the rule of thirds, this leaves plenty of space for text, heading, images all around the main image. I inserted smaller image like the college logo and the KCC live logo as these both are about the college. I used different heading about the inside the magazine these were to get the student involved.

Research

02/11/09

Today I carried on with researching for my music magazine. I typed a questionnaire which is primary research. The questionairs is to give out to the magazine audience. The qustions were to give me an idea of what the auidience want to see inside a magazine.

I used question liked gender and age to show what age group will be reading the magazine also the differntence between what male and female reader like ro see insdie the magazine. I ask about the genre the listen to and the type of magazine they buy so i could research these is detail to see teh differnt links. I ask what would teh most like to see/read inside the magazine, gave the options of band interview, articles, storys and others, this was to see what would be best suited for my double page inside my magazine.

I also began to creat a draft sketch of the layout of my magazine front cover.
