1.There are two photo
shop documents. Which looks more like a music magazine?
-the second one
The second one
I think the first one
looks more like a music magazine (because of the fonts) but I like the second
one better although the second ones looks a little bit like a fashion magazine.
Definitely the second
one, especially with the exposure of colour and then the masthead as they link
together nicely
The second one, i don’t
think the first one has enough colour to it and I really like the minimalistic
connotations of the second one.
Please answer the
following questions based on whichever front cover you chose in the previous
question.
The genre of music
that is being published in this specific issue of my magazine is hip-hop/RnB.
2.What would you
suggest I do to the front cover to represent the genre more accurately?
- Include artists
that are of that genre? I don’t even know if you can do that but???
Add cover lines which
include names of bands/artist who are already very popular among that genre
Change the fonts
maybe.
Possibly include some
familiar names of R+B artists in your cover lines
I don’t think the
font chosen for the masthead particularly represents that genre, maybe an
edgier one?
3.How could I make
the front cover more attention grabbing?
- Make the feature
artist’s name bolder, maybe by making the size bigger, or use a different font?
You could also use more vibrant colours?
The mast head could
be bolder to stand out more?
Some text could stand
out more than others
Different
typefaces/colours
Add another colour.
4.What front cover
elements do I need to add to the FP?
- Perhaps a pull
quote from the feature artist, or maybe a sentence that’s short, snappy and
about them?? That probably didn't help at all sorry L
A pull quote
Pull quote
A pull quote /big
RnB /hip Hop artist being featured in it.
5.Are there any
general comments you would like to add to help me improve the presentation of
my front cover?
Change the font of
the date so it’s easier to read and fits in more with the rest of the front
cover.
I agree with the
comment above about changing the font of the date
The date is hard to
read and on the second one I think his name should stand out more cause he is
the selling point of the magazine.
I like the boxes
around the text, it’s very uniform – maybe you could also make them out of line
with each other rather than all in a row?
Maybe change the
colour of your subheadings?
You are beginning to catch up on research and planning. I order to reach the higher Levels you would need to show more evidence e.g. planning the design of your front cover masthead (font, colour); list the articles which will appear on the contents page; show planning for the dps interview - questions that you will ask. You could also show how you have looked at existing interviews in magazines for ideas about your interview. This is good planning.
