Contents Ideas

             
                  I had a go at making the first mock up of contents, I like the transparentcy however i need to finalise on what fonts to use. Ideally I would like to get a picture of a band from The NME Tour 2011 to use as a background as they will look authentic.

Mock up Front cover

Mock up with bar code price and coverlines. On my draft i'll add more coverlines and change the image.

Leaked Filter

           This picture of Alice Glass that I found on google shows an example fo the filter i'd like to use on me main image in the contents page. I'm planning to get a picture of Alice Glass or The Vaccines performing to use as my image in the contents, I'll apply this filter to the photo, I like the effect it gives making the photo an aged look like a photograph from a film camera.

Featured Artist's name

As i'm using more then one person on my cover, the main article will be about a band.
I have some ideas as to what to call the bandhere is a selection and then my final
choice. The names need to sound like 'indie' bands to fit with the genre, names
like 'Girls Aloud' or 'Mcfly' sound too poppy.

• Passonfontaine
• Vincent and the Grenadines
• Crime in Chicago
• Funpal
• State of Arms 

To be featured in the magazine the band will need to have released singles, I have come up
with some names for these and will chose a couple to be mention in the article. I don't
want these songs to sound cliche, like some of the songs around today which are about
'sexy girls' or how much they're in love.

• Overtow
• Thales
• Penny Domain
• Drawing Tool
• State
• Place of Home
• Moses Town
• Fournier
• Cistercian nuns
• Cryptography

Possible album/EP titles;

• Astoria Heights
• Luneray
• Helicodonta
• Wasteside Orchard
• Jalien

            

First Stage mock up

First stage of the mock up, when completed I'll do two covers; one with the title coverd (like above) and one with the title over the image. This is a test shot, I will probably use different people as my models, and use different filters so the image is less grainy.

Photo style

I think this style of image looks relly effective on the front of a magazine, the muted colours and neutral background make the models stand out and colours work together.

Fonts

Fonts for the titles or coverlines on the double page spread or front cover, all are bold and stand out, the scrabble font I would need to take a photo of the actual letters to cut out on photoshop and use.

Magazine Title

                   I have decided to call my magazine 'DRONE(S)', I'm currently undecided as to add the 'S' or not. I originally was going to call it 'tones' because it's linked to sounds and music, however changed my mind as that seemed a little boring. I chose this title because it describes some of the music these days which drones on and on, the title could be mocking the type of mainstream music that will not included in the magazine.
                  I chose this font because of its boldness, it looks like a statement which links in with the theme of magazine; making a statement with the music featured and style showed on the cover.

                    I've chosen these colour as i think the simpler the better in cases where the main photo in taking centre stage. The pastel colours show what colours I'd like to use mostly in the image which the black or bold colours used on the title and coverlines and perhaps splashes shown in the photograph. I want to keep my magazine sophisticated but not boring, using pale colour could make the frontcover seem dull, but using interesting people in the image and bold coverlines should keep people interested. These are not finalised as of yet, but a rough idea of what colours could be used/look good together.

Pease watch on mute as I am unsure what music I have added due too lack of headphones.
