Will's Double Page Spread Analysis

This Double page spread really interested me I want to use techniques found in this double page spread and use them in my final double page. I like the way it is very casual with the image and tag lines being bold and standing out.

Lucy's Double Page Spread Analysis

I liked the colour theme on this double page spread of red,white and black. I thought that this looked interesting as it is mainly filled with photographs and their is actually very little text. Although this makes the double page look eye-catching when i create my own i will use more text and less pictures as i think that this looks better and is more interesting for the reader.

Jordan's Double Page Spread Analysis

Again I have decided that the use of black on white is not as clear as it could be. I found this part enjoyable as I found out lots of new techniques used for a double page spread. I like the use of the large image as it helps break up the text from the image.

Photo Shoot Plan

Once we had decided on the theme of our magazine the first task was to take the photographs that would feature in it. Both Will and Jordan are photography students therefore they asked their photographt teacher to hire out the studio and equipment. We asked our friends to model for us and Fran and Lucy took charge of the design and overall look of the photographs whilst Jordan and Will used their photography skills to take the photographs.

Our Copy of a Front Cover

After finding this front cover from Kerrang magazine, we decided to create our own in order to enhance our photo-shop skills. We used a picture of our friend and then copied what was on the original. We worked as a team on this piece however Jordan took the lead in taking the photographs and the editing stages. As a group we now feel that we have enhanced our editing skills and are all more confident when working with photo-shop.

Audience Research

As a group we all contributed to creating the audience research. Fran and Jordan asked the questions and Lucy and Fran wrote the questions. Will and Fran edited the video, Lucy and Will filmed it. We found the audience research task interesting and fun. We were able to work as a group, asking our friends and peers their views on the different aspects of rock magazines and music. This is very useful for us as when we go on to create our own magazine we can see what people would want and the type of magazines that they would buy.
