final design

" to view my mucis magazine your will have to click on view my full profile"

These are my final designs, i like them both equally because they don't comtrast with each other so technically i have gone against the conventions.

idea

i like the positions in which the people are posed. i think this would look really good for a front cover of a college magazine, if not this one then similar, two people back to back.

Magazine drafts

My magazine drafts

These are my magazine drafts in which in the end will be colourful and attract adults and teenagers attention. currently i am more for using 'do you want to improve your education?' magazine front cover.

I like the top draft the best it appears more interesting and casual.

My magazine research

Name ideas for magazine! Media studies

-Curriculum
-Your education
-Peers
-Beyond the classroom
-Development
-The opportunity
-Studies (Your studies)

I have chosen to use ‘beyond the classroom’ as my title for my magazine, but i will shorten the name to be 'Beyond'.

Photo graph ideas

Human pyramid with my friend creating a letter out of the title with her hands.
A window with students peering in.
Two people layed down with there heads in their hands.
Three circles with a different student in each one doing something different.


I am going to try everyone of these images and ideas a few times each and see which ones turn out the best and decide from their.


The writing around the magazine will be all different colours and my picture will be slightly darker then the writing.

Top gear

The title of the magazine is orange and bold. This stands out from the rest of the magazine distracting the reader. It is the only bright colour on the magazine and as soon as you recognise the name you immediatley know what the magazine is all about. (Top gear being the biggest car name ever.)
The background design emphasises the car (the new lambo)
It almost looks like the car is moving.
The title 'new lambo' is written in slang which goes out to most of their audience, the word is bold and white and stands out with the black outlining. the writing is on a slant which is shaped to the roof of the car.
There is tiny black writing with a gold background all over the front of the magazine which is hard to read but stands out from the car.
The bar code is in the middle on the right hand side of the magazine immediatley showing there audience how much the magazine costs.
The picture is of the 'new Lamborghini' its a computer edited image which is shiny and flashy, most car lovers and readers of the magazine love big flashy magazines, which in theory is a exellent idea to place this car in the middle of the magazine.

kerrang magazine

Kerrang!

This magazines front cover is very dull and black, this could be because of the typical stereotype that 'moshers' are dark as this magazine goes out to rockers of any age.

We have a picture of the band 'Panic at the disco' who are quite popular so their target audience automatically thinks something will be in the magazine relating to them making kerrangs magazine sale quite high.

At the bottom of the magazine there are pictures and bold white writing stating that there are 'free posters' The white writing goes against the black background extremely well.

The writing is on a slant which contrasts with the pictures because them to are on a slant.

The bands heads are over the title of the magazine this indicates that the magazine is very popular, because the readers will have to identify the name of the magazine.

The facial expressions of the band are some what gloomy, this matches the background and the stereotype of 'mosher, goth, punk, emo.'

Kerrang magazine uses the colour yellow for effect against a dull black background, this attracts attenetion to the magazine and makes there audience want to buy it, because if the front covers look better then last weeks edition the magazine must be better as a whole.

Marie claire

This magazine is Marieclaire.

Notice how Cameron Diaz's picture goes over the brightly coloured writing, this magazine is that well known that they can put her over the writing because people still recognise the title.

The colours used are the same as the Teachers magazine turquoise and black. This really attracts readers attention, the colours and the bold writing draw in the readers attention.

Cameron Diaz is wearing this summers fashion which means " this magazine is for you" the reader thinks that the magazine is for them because they dress like that.

The writing around her shows that their is alot of information inside the magazine making the reader want to look.(good buying technique.)

There is a banner on the bottom of the magazine which says " The shops our amazing new high street fashion section" The shops is in bold which makes it stand out to there target audience.

Marie claire's target audience would me females, teenagers to around 50 year olds, i think this because it's about fashion, the magazines front cover is very feminine especially with a photo of a glamourous female on the front cover it makes people want too be like that.
