FRONT COVER:

For my main front cover image, I decided to try and make it as similar to the image that I have used on my drafts as I could. To do this, I lowered the brightness of the image and added a blue tone to it. I also created a ‘brokeh’ effect by putting white circles around the image. I feel that this makes the image look similar to the one I used on my drafts, as well as helping to make it fit in to the genre of my magazine.I feel that my image could present a negative view of the younger social group, as they don’t look happy and they could be stood in quite negative positions. However, I feel that for my magazines genre this fits in well as it will help relate to my target audience and their age group. It also reinforces the ‘grunge’ theme that I have seen in the other indie/rock magazines that I have studied.

CONTENTS PAGE:I already has this image saved from a concert that I have previously been to, so I simply cropped it to make Dan Smith (lead singer of indie/rock band Bastille) the main focus of the image, as well as making it the right shape for the area of the page that I want it on. This has no representation of social groups, however it will help to relate to my target audience as they are well-known to often go to gigs and concerts.

For my second image, I decided to try and make it as similar to the original image that I used on mydraft as possible. I changed the lighting mainly, making it brighter and changing the colour balance in order to make it less red/more blue. I also slightly edited his face, getting rid of any flawson his face as generally on indie/rock magazinesthe model is flawless in order to attract the female gaze. I feel that this juxtaposes against the‘grunge’ theme of some of the other images that Ihave used, however it also opens up a differentclass for my target audience, thus wideningmy demographic. It also has a positiverepresentation of they younger socialgroup, as he looks quite classy and happy.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

The editing for my double page spread image was relatively simple, as all I had to do to the image was slightly increase the brightness and make it black and white. I did this so it would be similar to the image I had used in my drafts, and I felt that by putting the image in black and white, it made it contrast more against the bright background and also made it more interesting to look at. It also matches my indie/rock theme well, as most of the magazines I have studied used black and white images for the double page spread. It also makes my subjects look more menacing, which could give them a negative representation of their social group however it is contrasted with the bright background that I have used within my magazine double page spread.
