MoodBoard My Inspiration

Image:

Originally for my magazine cover I was planning on using, a close up image, where the magazine was just focused on one person. However, I found it very difficult to surround the image with text. And consequently causing my magazine to look unprofessionally so I changed image ideas.

This image is off Biffy Clyro. They are one off my favourite bands, and I took inspiration from them for my magazine front cover image. I wanted to have three people on the front, and to re-create an Biffy Clyro esc, picture. As you can see the pictures are similar to some respect, however I changed it around, by making the people in the image stair directly at you, as it would instantly grab the readers attention.

I Also found that a lot of Magazines are mostly close ups. So I attempted to re-create this in mine.

Image Analysis

As you can see from the Images they have their ‘Main Coverlines’ right in the centre, so I tried to re-create this in mine. I did this because it makes my Magazine firstly look more realistic, but also considering my picture, it was the only place I could put the text.

Also in the images, I noted that near the bottom of the images, they have text. For Example, in the image of Kasabian it has text listing bands ‘ The Drums, Weezer-Salem’ so I did this in mine to, as I was going for an NME look/style.

I also took inspiration from the ‘buttons’ in the Nme Magazine. I thought it was a good idea to have one, as it would make my magazine look more professional. Also I had a limited space, so I needed to add more text, so I did this by adding a button. Finally, I added, a stripe on the top left corner, to add more text. I took the idea from NME Kasabian magazine version.

MasterHead Analysis:I took inspiration from the ‘NME’ Magazine, Masterhead. I tried to make mine bold and an eye catching ‘LMC’ I did this by making it the biggest font, and also placing it in an eye catching position. Also I didn’t want to make my MASTERHEAD , to long so I made it short and punchy like ‘NME’ by calling it LMC.
