Colours and fonts remain the same for house style purposes
Original images UsedI used 5 original images in the production of my music
magazine. The ones which include the band member s were taken on the principle that they had to look like a real band but a fun band rather than the kind which get serious, so it was decided that I should take it in a light area to get emphasis on their happiness as sunshine is a symbol of happiness.
The poses they did in the photos with them separate had to be medium close up so the audience got a good feel for them rather than the band images which were taken a little further away, as I have said lighting played a huge part as the band were supposed to appear less gothic than a new alternative band but still produce the same music so the lighting helped pull that off.
The photo of the editor (top left) had to be one that was less professional as many magazines when they do this get ‘mug shots’ of their editors to use if they are going to edit them so this photo was immediately perfect.
FontsTheir was were a few specific fonts that I used throughout
this magazine, the most recurring was the main one, which was called ‘Feast Of Flesh BB’ this was the font that was used to write the articles and the titles of the magazine, it was chosen because of its look and its rock feel to it, it was a perfect choice as it can be seen on the right.
There were not many other fonts used in the creation of my magazine as the one which summed it up very well was Feast of Flesh.
However their were other fonts which made small appearances in the magazine, the first was the posh curly hand writing (example on the right) used to make the word Pope in the Pope discredits Metallica story, this was chosen because it highlighted the class of the pope and how he would most probably write and because it went well with the story and image used.
The other was another custom text called Metallica, this one was used in the same story and was chosen because it was the same writing that Metallica use, and it seemed to fit the story well, much like the posh writing for the pope.
The other font used was in the subscription advert on the contents page which was a bold font, this was used because it was the best thing to use to make an advert stand out, as it represents big block letters in white to stand out from the black to get the readers attention.
