Final Front Cover

This is my final edition of my front cover. Overall i am really pleased with it and think that I've done quite well. like the colours and throughout my 3 products, there is a a distance house-style of colours that i have used which i think are effective. I have used some conventions such as bolder fonts and colour, however i have also broken one with my cover image. I have broken it by not having either of my cover models facing froward- i did this to portray them as mysterious as their name is 'Blackout'. In conclusion i am happy with this product. 

Double Page Spread (feedback)

This was the first edition of my double page spread, i changed the picture as it was too similar to my front cover version. I also prefer my actual Double Page Spread picture as this one makes the dps seem too 'goth' or grunge and that wasn't what i was aiming for. I was just aiming for alternative or rock/indie, which i think with my final dps i managed. Similarly the colour scheme with this one, combined with the black and white photo lacks something, whereas i think my final version with a semi-coloured photographs works better and 'lifts' the dps as a whole.

Final Double Page Spread.

This is my final Double Page Spread and overall i am really proud and happy of the product i have achieved. I like the editing i did of the photo the best as i made the background black and white, and then edited the two main people in colour. Myth is my magazine and Blackout are my created band. I love the colour scheme, and think that i stuck to some main magazine conventions of my genre with this i.e. the black and red and white. However i also think i broke some conventions by having the 'Chaos' literally looking like Chaos and not being neat and tidy. I had a lot of fun trying to create this product. I think the colours work well and i love the photo is shows what i wanted to- that Blackout are a serious, yet quirky band and i think this will appeal to my target audience.

New Magazine Front Cover

After evaluating my first front cover draft, I decided I didn't like the picture as I felt it wasn't accurate of the target audience I wanted to appeal to. So I retook the picture and changed the name, from Fluorescent to Myth as it's short and snappy. Here is my first draft of my new magazine.

Intended target audience and a lifestyle profile of my imaginary entity.

Intended target audience and a lifestyle profile of my imaginary entity.

Intended Target Audience: Female/Male
into alternative and/or rock music
educated- students
festival goer
buys CD's/ goes to old cd stores

20's-30's

Fashionable 
I have chosen to make my music magazine a rock/alternative music magazine. I have chosen this because I think that rock is the easiest one for me to do as there are many rock magazines that i can take inspiration from as this is also the type of music that i enjoy. Rock and Alternative is also very popular and current so in choosing this genre i will be able to entice a wider target audience. My target Audience is also particularly broad but also a niche as it will be for people who enjoy this type of music and thrive to know of the best upcoming alternative bands. 

Lifestyle profile of my imaginary entity: 
They might look like somebody who we would all love to be friends with.  A  subculture of men and women who would typically be in their 20's and 30's, they would value independent thinking, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The type of person that perhaps might reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen scouring the local charity shop for "vintage" necessities. The type of person who can make anything look cool, even if they were wearing a tartan cardigan and a tea-cosy on their head. Picture this the well known "hipster" sorting through racks of old vinyl whilst the sound of Joy Division blasts through the overhead speakers of a well known cd shop, or perhaps the type of person who can be seen sipping a chai green latte whilst reading the latest sci-fi novel outside of an independently named café. The type of person to watch all three 3 and  half hours Lord of the Rings films in one sitting. This is the type of person to read my magazine, whilst riding the tube on the way to an underground gig of a band with a name no one has heard of, and the sound of indie rock bouncing out their headphones. That's who will read Myth Magazine.
