The Draft Shoot

Draft Double Page Spread

This is the draft version of my double page spread other than the fact that the shots weren't taken outside this is exactly how I wanted this shot to look and how it will look inside the actual magazine.

Draft Contents

This is not the shot that I wish to get for my final contents, that shot will be taken outside, but I am not sure if this will be the stance that I will use for the final peice this was the one shot that I was unsure about, and their are many different ideas that I am considering.

Draft Front Cover

This is my Draft Front cover, due to weather restrictions I could not go outside and get the kind of shots that I want to get, but when it comes down to the actual thing I will make sure that I have the shots. The shot that I will be aiming for will be him leaning up against a tree out in a field with the same look on him, but in that natural environment.

Institution Analysis: Bauer

Bauer Media Group:

Bauer were founded in 1875 by Heinrich Bauer and his family, and they are a company that operate in 15 countries across the globe, their base is in Germany. As a company they sell over 38,000,000 magazines a week between all of their magazines. They produce loads of different magazines some music related some not. The  music magazines that they produce are some of the biggest name music magazines there are such as Q, Kerrang and Mojo. There are 282 in total, they also own a 50% stake in a  British TV company called Box Television (the other half owned by channel four) and also have their own radio station. They are currently the UK's biggest publishing group, and in 2010 recorded taking in excess of over 2 billion euros.

I think that Bauer would want to publish my magazine as it fits in well with there other magazines and perhaps offers them something a little bit different to the other magazines that they offer, in the fact that it will cover smaller and artists that are perhaps younger and just appeared on the scene, that should make it different from all of the others and should fits in to a different market and could be a successful magazine for them.

Colour Analysis

I have chosen these as a very basic representation of the colours that I want to use in my magazine, the blue will be the colour of all of my fonts and boxes of information (font inside those boxes will be white), the green is there to represent the natural colouring that will be in my images in the form of a backdrop that will involve trees, grass etc. The orange represents the colour that I hope that the sky will be when my images are taken is taken I hope that it is sunny and there will be a sky something like that colour. I think that this colour scheme will work for me because they are all natural colours, and I think that it will suit the casual way in which my model will be dressed, and I hope that the natural colours will go with the old fashioned revitalized type of music that my magazine is going for.

Font Analysis

I like this font as the main font for all of the headings as you need a simple font that perhaps doesn't stand out too much so that I would suit with the type of music (indie rock/singer song writer) that will be inside of the magazine, a type of music that isn't standoutish, you can see this from what you stereotypical artists form my choice of genre wear it is the same as what most people wear. I also think that the faded effect reflects that the music is perhaps a bit old school the kind of music that people used to listen to years ago before auto tune and I think this font reflects that.

I chose this as my font for the bulk of the text it will be used for all of the font that isn't the headings, I wanted a font that is fairly standard and wasn't too fancy so the it is easily readable, and as most of the texts are going to be in this font then that is an important feature. I also didn't want a font that was completely bog standard I wanted it to be a bit different, I like the fact that it is bent out a bit so that it isn't completely straight and is a bit different like the style of music.
