Mood Board - Indie Rock

This is my mood board for a music magazine. The types of images i placed on it are:

• Man at a festival

I did this because i feel this fits in with the genre of my music magazine. In this image you can see that he is at a festival, enjoying the music and feeling a part of something special.

• Jeans, high top shoes and checkered shirts

This is the fashion for my music magazine. these are the types of clothing that people wear if they are of Indie nature.

• Band names in background

I have chosen to put some bands in the background that are playing at a festival, as i feel that it shows what indie music is going to a festival such as Leeds, Download or Glastonbury.

In conclusion i feel that my mood board sums up the genre that i am going to use for my music magazine. I also feel that the sort of image used on this, could be used for my front page or even images in the two page spread, to make the article more appealing.

College Magazine - Contents Page

College Magazine Mock Up

• For my college magazine, I have designed a mock up. I feel that this mock up is a lot better than the original newsletter type for numerous reasons. To start with, the masthead i have used, is very informative for the reader, rather than the picture of the school.
• Also the background colour has been made to add an effect of making it more attractive and appealing to the audience. The use of colour is used throughout the magazine because i felt the other newsletter was very boring. Colour is used on the border around the images, some of the text and the auto shape used to draw attention to the news feed.
• I have still incorporated the logo of the school, and the specialist science college. Also, the images i have used are relevant to the content of the magazine. This was not used in the original newsletter design, as the house style was kept in all editions.
• In conclusion, i feel that this magazine is more appealing to the target audience, in the above ways.
