Evaluation Questions.

Unmanipulated Photos

These are the pictures that were not selected for the front cvover of my magazine. The reason for this is because the do not bring out the persona of the Grime Artists i would want them to be towards the target audience. as you can see below that particular picture was the one that was chose. for the front cover, the reason being is because of the facial expression on their face and the way that they are stood.in my opinion this picture below is the perfect picture of a front cover like a magzine like this as it represents the music genre very well.

Mock UP's-

Idea one for front cover : i have decided that the title for my magazine is going to be called Grime, as you can see there are going to be exclusive features within the magazine that will attract the potential customers to buy it. for example on the front cover i have said : Top 50 old school Grime artists this is an appealing element to the magazine as the target audience would want to know more               

                                                                                                                               

idea one for contents page : this the layout i plan on using for my contents page i have have been influenced by a real life vibe magazine to use this layout. As you can see this layout is very neat and structured , this will help the audience's focus on the page as their is very minimul happening on this particualr page.

 idea one for double page spread: i have also used an exisiting music magazine to help me with the layout of my double page spread. and once again i have used an simplisic strucutire for this page. On this ]particualr page i plan on writing a short biography about the artists life and also about there present sucess. this is so that the target audeince are satisfied with the information about the featuring artist for the magazine.
