This is my box out text, I decided to do a tour date to draw the readers in further and to get them excited about my band. Fans will be able to interact more and since the tour takes place in more than one part of England, more people will be attracted to it. It also fits in with the educational aspect of the Uses and Gratifications theory but the actual event will fit into the entertainment side. I have incldued support acts of the same genre to boost their reputation and make them seem popular and well liked by other famous artists. The box out will be tinted purple in order to fit in with the house colour scheme.

Production Diary 8 - Image Ideas, Logo and Text.


This past week or so I have been continuing to create my magazine using various programs such as Powerpoint, InDesign and Photoshop.

I have finished all my image ideas, the costumes and props, which I drew out and uploaded as two videos on my blog, and sorted out the kinds of images I would like to include in my magazine. I would ideally like to sort of create an eerie, spooky like atmosphere using dim and dark lighting with black background so that the only thing in focus is my subjects, the models. I would also love to able to incorporate a smoke machine and try and curl it around the instruments and models to add to the creepy but sophisicated atmosphere. As you can see from my blog I have displayed how my magazine is coming along and the different parts of the construction.

I also decided as an extra thing to do, to create a logo for my band. As you can see from the powerpoint I had lots of options to choose from. To make the logos I used the website DaFont, and provided lots of logos so I had a lot of choice. My teacher and my peers helped my choose the final logo.

Currently I am working on my magazine and putting in all the text so that the final thing left to do is my photoshoot and then add in the photos. My photoshoot is on the 2nd of December, so I have time to put in all the text and work out the fonts and sizes. It will take time to work out where my article should go because I feel I have over exceded the word limit.
As well as this, I have yet to complete the new media task and how I will use it and how I will distribute (promote) my music magazine.

Construction part 2



This is the second part of my magazine construction. It is basically like the first part but this time I have added in sample photos so I can see what I am doing and where to put them as well as seeing what kind of photos should be included. This will help me hugely when taking my own photos.

Contents Outline Draft with words



This is my scaffolding for my contents page with the text that I'm using for this page. I made this replica on Powerpoint which proved easy when creating the shapes and lines, but difficult when it came to the text - sometimes there were either too much text or too little, and also positioning the text was difficult because Powerpoint is not InDesign and its alignment tools are standard.
However, creating this will help me in the future because I know have a small understanding of what my magazine will look like.
