Final Front Cover

 
 
Hello Again!
I have finally edited my front cover to a place where i am happy with it. Previously it looked like a movie poster,but with the edition of different fonts and colours i feel that it is more eyecatching whilst still being simple and elegant.
All your comments will be appriciated

Thankyou.

Mock Up Progress

 

 

 

 

 



Here i have placed a couple of my mock up front covers for my New Era magazine, the left one is quite plain and simple which i like, there is not too much going on, so there is no confusion into what to look at first, however, after having feedback from a study group i decided to try and add more to make the cover more interesting and dynamic. This resulted in the image on the right, although there is more text here it still looks quite... boring, so i aim to change some colours and have a go at changing the layout to make this magazine look more interesting rather than plain. I'll let you know how i'm getting on!

Any feedback would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Target Audience

Welcome Back!

Today i want to discuss my target audience, The essential idea for the 'New Era' magazine is to broadcast the new ranges of music to a younger audience, there are constantly new fashions and styles of music, so why not make a magazine about the new era that's forever catching up with the old? Teens are the main audience i'm aiming for due to them being the younger generation however other age ranges from 25-40  if not older would probably still be interested in the music within the magazine. Saying this however, the colours, language, and pictures are more for the appeal of the teenage/young adult audience rather than the ages above these, so it all depends on the style of the readers, if new music is their thing then this magazine is for them. There is no closed age rate on a magazine, it is just for people who enjoy new interesting music, and those who are joining in the transition to the New Era.

Title/Design Ideas!

Hello again!
Over the past couple of lessons i have been testing ideas for my magazine logo! The top left is my first draft, i chose the font of the 'new' part due to it seeming like graffiti resembling a more urban vibe to the magazine, targetting the young audience i am aiming for. The Era part is in big bold letters and in the same font in each prototype, i feel this defines the main part of the title and adds a bold and stern feel to the whole magazine ( well it will when its finished!).
The bottom test, is what i will be using in my final, on the ERA section i have used a lens flare to resemble the sun coming up, in a sense dawning on the new eara, i also felt the NEW part looked too plain so i added some stripes of yellow into the text to make it more diverse but also to give the impression of something arriving, in this case the new ERA.
i hope you enjoyed having a look at these, and leave any comments or feedback below! thankyou!
