Research and Planning:Magazine Progress

Today I started my music magazine, to start of with I created the Masthead. Initially I was just going to stick with the Rockster font but wanted to play with the effects. I firstly needed to rasterize the text to make into a image which I could edit.  I blurred and oiled panted it which gave it texture
Part of the specification was you need to make every thing your elf and can not use logo's pre made, I have tried to recreate The Who's logo my self trying different text to get a similar text type to the one used

Research and Planning:Double Page Spread Ideas

The interview double page spread simply sits the write and picture up, Large reconcilable artist Pink telling what the articles about with out reading it. The article starts off with Masthead, sub-title, introduction then the questions. The Masthead font is bold clean meaning no effects and easy to read, for the page the size I find maybe a little small. The sub-title again is clean and bold but the right size for being a sub-title, maybe  little stereotypical but I would colour it in pink. I like the use of question then answer on different lines. Another great feature is that theirs a clear disinction between question and answer, the questions being in bold. The format of my double page spread will be an interview

This Double page spread is an article on an up and coming band of the rock genre. I think the best features are the Masthead with the spider logo surround but I know I've seen it before, the size of the picture shows attitude and dominance what you need to get into the music business. The downfall is the size of the article its too small for the normal person to read. reduce the size of the picture and increase the font size. I don't like the how the text is mounted on a black background which is mounted it self on the grey background of the picture. 














News. It said it, top left. I really like how they have layed out the double page spread with pictures surrounding the text, the Masthead large grabbing your attention with the two colours being used. Again I think the text size is to small and should be filling at least 3/4 of a page. I cant read what the white section says but it could be a feature used in my double page spread I also will use the varied place of the pictures in my article. 













Review of artist. Leather Mouth. Center of the page large size and the artistic style of only using two light types feature and back casting the shadow. The yellow colour Masthead background is defiantly unique and would grab my attention. The use of advertising bottom right is a clever feature if you just bought it for this article. again I think the text size is to small.

Research and Planning: Test Shots 2

Here are a range of pictures I have taken with my own SLR camera to show the detail and claritywhich can be achieved with the right settings

Research and Planning:Test Shots 1

The picture on the left was a micro shot with flash as you can see the flash put to much glare onto it making it out of focus

The picture on the Right is a micro shot with out flash, theres still a little glare but you can see more detail with out flash

The right picture was in  a dark hall with out flash as you can see its blurry and out of focus


The right picture is a long shot from a high angle with out flash,I find this picture still out of focus but like the image concept 





these two pictures are of the same image with and with out flash, the first one was on micro setting with out the flash on a lot of detail came through the fence. the second is micro setting again but this time with flash as you can see the camera picked up the front of the image which made the back dark, depending on what you want in focus and the main subject these could be useful. 

 The stair portrait used the portrait setting with flash although I like the image you can see his face is over exposed, but with having flash off would have made the whole image dark.

here are a range of images on portrait setting with out flash from a low angle I chose not to use flash because enough light was coming from the sky light, I personal don't like the images but in terms of focus and exposure their great    

two shots one with flash one with out. spot the difference 

 The tree shot used the auto focus feature which gives the picture
