Mr Taylor!

My blog keeps reverting to private. I have changed my password in case it was some idiot from school changing it to private on me.  My content can be seen in the post below

Coursework Update

This is merely an update post to show how far I am with the Music Magazine coursework. The majority of my work is in powerpoint presentations, and will be uploaded during the christmas period.

Planning - Front Page Mock 2

For my second front page mock, I decided to be random, and throw titles at the page. I asked for feedback from peers, and they said it looked messy, yet unique.

Planning - Front Page Mock 1

This is the first of three mocks I have created for my front page. I decided to keep it simple, with just the main band and the title on the front page, with space where I could add a barcode and some other pugs later on. The colours I chose for this were black and red, thus why the word 'Staind' is black with a red outline.

Planning - Front Page

To begin creating my front cover, I had to create a mock layout to see where every item would go on the front page. From this, I am able to build mocks, as well as test them with my colleagues to see what is best.

Magazine Double page spread

For my first and only double page spread, I went with one from Q magazine. Relatively simple, it has a picture of "Kasbian" on the background, as well as the name "Kasbian" across the top. On the right hand side is the main picture of the fellow, and on the left is his tour dates.

An outlined red box in the bottom left contains information of a downloadable music track from online, perhaps as a form of advertising to increase traffic to his own website.
