my finished music magazine presentation.

1. My Music Magazine
By Amna Afzal

2. logo
• The colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was red and white, this is
because it looks urban and are two unique colours, also the font i had
chosen looks like a type of graffiti which is what we usually see on the
streets and in music magazines and also music videos.
• Originally the colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was black and
yellow, but i felt that the colours didn't match as well to my standards and
didn't look urban enough to me or the type of colours we would use or
see in a music video or magazine.
i chose to put my
logo on a black
background as it
makes the colours
stand out and show
more.

3. Front cover picture.
I decided to use this photo as my front cover picture because he looks attractive and
intimidating this will grab the target audiences attention and make them want to find out of
who this person is, its more interesting when its just one person on the front cover. As you can
see from the before photo i had managed to crop out the background bit that was not needed,
i also brightened and edited the contrast on the photo to make it stand out a bit more as the
pictures i had taken wasn't of a very good quality so i edited it in photo shop.

4. Contents page picture.
I decided to use this picture as my contents page because its something different and
unique, the picture looks as if the person is making direct eye contact with you which
is more engaging , he looks like he's got a serious face on, as we know in hip hop and
R&B music magazines the boys look intimidating towards the audience. Again i
cropped the background bit that was not needed and also enhanced and contrasted
the photo and also used the burn tool to make the photo stand out more.

5. Double page spread picture.
Before After
The picture i had taken was a bit dark so i had brightened it up a bit in photo
shop and adjusted the contrast on to the photo i also lightened the
shadowed areas, i also used the dodge and burn tool to make the photo
more vibrant and enhanced. By using the wizard and rubber tool i managed
to take out the background as i did not want that in my photo. I also cropped
one person out that i didn't need.

6. The pictures i was going to choose
from.

7. Pictures i decided to use.

8. Front cover annotationThe logo is show able
and stands out, this grabs
the attention of the
target audience. The
house style is red and
white same as the logo.
Drop down shadow to
give an affect. Mixed
colours, the main writing
in white and the colour
red as the shadow for
affect. Same as the house
style.
Bar code.
The picture and is the
main part of the
magazine i made sure the
model looks attractive
and looks serious i done
this by making him not
smile. And grab on to a
bit of his clothes. I also
brightened up the photo
for a light effect.
The main persons
name is in big and bold
and stands out this
also links in with the
photo because the
photo is big and its the
first thing we see when
we look at the
magazine, and so is the
title.
Shape of a circle its
something different
which has a rhetorical
question in the inside.
What this magazine
includes, and also
what the genre is.
The price.

9. Contents page annotation.The logo being
promoted on the
contents page aswell.
Page numbers in big and
bold so its nice and clear
for the readers to
navigate them selves
around the magazine.
The main focus on what
topic will be spoken
about on each page so
the audience
understands what they
will be reading.
House style, is
consistent through out,
this makes it look formal
and the readers will not
get confused about
what they are looking at.
The main heading is in
big and bold, so the
readers understand
what they are looking
at.
Promoting the date of
its release, so the
readers know how old
or new the magazine
is.
The picture is the first
thing you see when
you look at the page its
big and eye catching,
this is representing the
main person that will
be spoken about.
This is presenting the
main person that is
being shown.

10. Double page spread annotation.
The main groups name,
again its in big and bold
and is used in the
consistency of the house
style.
Drop down shadows used to
give an glowing affect.
Logo is being
promoted yet
again but this time
very small yet it is
still visible.
The main group that are
being spoken about,
they're picture is big and
fills up nearly the whole
page as they are the main
topic that will be spoken
about on this page this will
make it easier for the
readers so they
understand what they are
reading. And who is being
spoken about.
This is a bit about
the band and what
this page is
promoting about the
three boys.

11. Conclusion.
• The reason of why i had chosen the house style and consistency that i did throughout was
because it looked formal, less clutter and easy to read.
• I chose to keep the colours Red and White throughout so its easier for the readers to read
• Whereas if i had used mixed colours on each page this would confuse the reader and not look
• professional at all.
• The font i had chosen to use was Bold and a normal font because by trying not to make it
• hard for the reader by changing the font style some people may find the font hard to read so
• that's why i had kept the font style consistent throughout and just stuck to the original font.
• I had also presented my logo on every page to promote my magazine company logo this will
make the readers attracted to the logo and they will end up remembering the company's
magazine as they had seen it on every page.
• The pictures i had decided to use was meant to be looking as if they were intimidating as its a
r&b and hip hop music magazine and in most music magazines that's how they are
presented as.
• My magazine is aimed at mostly the youth of today.
• I avoided using foul language and provocative images.
