Production Log

I am at the stage of producing my magazine as I have now completed my planning and research. 

These photographs I have taken for my front cover & double page spread:

These Photos I have taken for my contents page:

Main/ Content/ Double Page Spread Image Pose Ideas

These images are some ideas that I will be experimenting with to see which pose suits my magazine the most. As the genre is pop I have used innocent well mannered poses to portray my genre, as my model is young I have to be sure to take care in the way she is being posed so she is able to portray the message of innocents and immaturity.

Magazine Colour Ideas

Inspirational Magazine Covers

Upbeat magazine consists of a lot of vibrant colours making it interesting for audience, as being a young individual I find that this type of cover interests me as it has different size fonts, lots of colours and images. Although this cover has a lot of colours they seem to never clash causing text and images to stand out from each other. 

This magazine I find interesting as the title is always in front of the image but still the main image stands out. The magazine is plain but effective as the image and colour scheme interest’s audiences. Not having so much text on the cover can also interest audiences as they can tell from the front cover who the magazine is about without any words being written.

Magazine Construction Plans

Magazine Logs/ Name Ideas

These are the two names that I liked best for my magazine, the reason for this is “Tune In” connotes the way a radio is turned on which is the source for music and “Bubble Gum” connotes the genre of music I’m doing as bubble gum’s sound effect is pop, it also connotes with young people as they are associated with bubblegum. Out of both names I like bubble gum the most, therefore will be using it for my pop music magazine.

Audience- Focus Group

This is an interview based on questions from my magazine to help me to understand what individuals like and dislikes are when purchasing a magazine. While conducting the interview I asked 4 female students to answer my questions, to make my results more reliable I should have asked different age ranging from 15- 20 and I also should have asked male interviewees to get an insight into what they prefer. On the other hand I have done a questionnaire asking male and female and different genre individuals so I think these would be able to help me to get an insight into what they like. 

This is a screen shot showing how I edited my audio interview using adobe audition. By using this programme I was able to edit the pauses made in the interview, background noises and hesitations while the interview was taking place.

Magazine double page spread related to my chosen genre of music:

This is a double page spread from “Vibe” magazine; the images in on these pages are made into the background therefore the colours have to remain faint in order for the text to be easily read otherwise colours may clash. The title “Jamelia” is made transparent so that we are able to see the image behind making the colour in the title this is done because the image behind the text has been filtered with a black sheet over it so seeping some original colour from the picture allow the audience to show up the picture more so they don’t forget it is there. Jamelia’s photographs are seen as innocent and calm judging by her body language. The photographs show her changes from how she was before and how she is till this day.

The text on the page is set up like an interview with the questions in red and the answers in white, these two colours work well together as they stand out from each other making it more readable, the text is also placed on the black filter in order to make it.
