The chosen ones

This is my front cover I have chosen as its links well with my music genre as the picture I really like better than my first idea because it fits in better with the whole concept of indie music as she is in a thinking pose and makes the audience want to know what she is thinking and they become instantly curious about the artist and what is inside the magazine. Also i like that she is wearing a purple top as it relates to my colour scheme for my magazine but i also like the chosen font for my masthead it fits in well with genre of music but also this links my pages together as its used for the article title and the 'contents'. Also the paint splatter shows the pages again are linked together but the splatter relates to the name rebellion as spray paints links with teenager so its connecting with the audience it relates to them but also spray painting is antisocial behaviour and people who do are rebellious so it links with the stage name of the artist. I also like the quote at the bottom of the stage name is good as it promotes the artist but also shows the magazine is about them and wanting them to read more but also to find out the information and news related to the artist. Also it alternates between the colours in my colour scheme and it looks really well links withe clothing but also though out my magazine is the use of the same colours.


This is my chosen contents page, as i like the photographs on it as again is a picture is the same artist on my front cover to show that's she is the main article as she is used on my double page spread as well so the all of the pages are linked together. Again the colour scheme is running through my pages to link them further together which is what i was aiming for. I had chosen the distorted rectangle shape as it links with the unique side of the music genre but also they aren't rounded edges to show the rock side to the music and to relate it back to my genre of music but the alternating colours makes the magazine approachable for readers but also grab there attention as the colours stand out from one another. I used the numbers on the photographs as i have seen it on previous magazines before I have read or seen and those magazine are top selling and its a good idea so it gives a sneak peek at articles as the pictures represent what is on that page and makes them very curious which makes the audience read on. The paint splatters on the contents page link my other pages together but also it makes the photographs stand out from the black background like the other colours on the contents page it really is eye catching and would stand out from other magazines on the shelf.


This is my chosen double page spread, I picked this one because i really like the photograph and effects used on it and how the effects on the page link the background with text and the photograph. The main the photograph i am very pleased with as it again a curious shot of the artist just like the front cover makes the audience interested also the photograph fits in very well with the indie music genre. I also like the use of the the other photograph as it shows a different to side to the artist and also makes the double page look like a fact file on the artist which is what i was going for as the whole article is all about her and a fact file about her career and stardom. The paint splatter in the background is a great effect as it really stands put from the black ground and really adds something to the double page spread it makes it look busy and lively like the indie music and the effect i think really related back to the music. The snapshot i like because it shows two sides to the artist a serious side but also a happy side to show the music can be happy but sometimes deep and thoughtful. The title its the chosen masthead font to link all three pages together again to show they are all together

Overall I think all my pages link well together and its easy to tell what genre of music its promoting in the magazine.
