These hands signs are normally what typical “rock stars” do, and

these signs represent rock.This picture shows a potential pose, and the make-up & style represents the look I want to go for. The prop in this picture (guitar) may also be the type of props I would like to use, as the genre of my music magazine is Rock & R’N’B.

This front cover looks edgy and “tough”, it consists of three colours, (red, black and white) very simple colours, however it makes the images stand out and shows the magazine is straight to the point.

The contents page image, inspired me to have the background an image of the main artist. The way it is set out, makes it look unique and different from other contents pages.

The image of Miley Cyrus inspired me because she has her tongue out, it makes her look edgy and rough. They also show her tattoo’s. The use of the words “Good Golly Miss Miley” shows Miley has a serious change in her look and the magazine represents that.

These double page spreads consists of the same colours throughout the magazine. The images used are dull or black and white, which makes the title stand out. I like the way they have laid out the page and have used one

big red letter in the middle of the page (the first letter of their name.)

The font images used on my mood board are all “big, dark” dints that look like they belong to a “rock” category. They’re very unique and they will stand out against other pieces of text.

The image of Rihanna, is a potential pose/look I would like to go for, she is looking straight into the camera, with an evil look in her eye. It makes her look sexy yet powerful. It makes her look rough and someone you won’t want to mess with.

The Steven Tyler (also known to be lead singer in Aerosmith) image, inspires me to have my main image to include an instrument, mainly a guitar as it relates to rock stars, as many of their music includes electric guitars. He has a very simple look, and the image is in black and white.

These hands symbols, represent rock, and many rock stars do these hand symbols, so the audience will be able to relate and understand

I decided to use these logo’s, as I like the lay-out and design of it, this may potentially be what I want my logo to look like

I think this double page spread is very creative in the way it is laid-out and it is an idea I would like to use for my magazine

This front cover consists of the same colours, and Rihanna’s make-up makes her look edgy and rough. I also like the fact that NME, has used props.

These a potential props that I would like to use on my front cover, or within some images in my magazine

This image of the model on the motorbike inspired me because it shoes that she is beautiful, but she has a edgy look to her. She is showing us she can be bad-ass, this shown by her pose, clothing and use of props.

The front covers of VIBE magazine, looks more like a R’N’B magazine, rather than rock, however it consists of three main colours, (black, white and red) which can also be associated with rock. The fact that they have used a black or white background, show that they want the main image, and the text to stand out

It is clear this font belongs to a “rock” category. It is very unique and it will stand out against other pieces of text used on a front cover.

The Rolling Stones front cover inspired, because Bruno is using a pop, a cigarette, which is seen as “cool” and what most rock stars do. He is looking straight into the camera, which shows a mean look in his eye, which suggests he is tough, “don’t mess with me” look.

I was inspired by this image used in a magazine of 2Pac, as he has his shirt off, showing his tattoo’s, which can be seen as tough, and cool. They have put an black and white effect on the image to make his body look more defined and stand out against the background.
