Rough Cut

I have know finished the rough cut of the Music Magazine. This rough cut included the pictures that I had previously shown and also it includes the final text, the main story on the double page spread and also a colour scheme. I am know going to show all of the rough cuts and I will talk briefly about them and explain where I had my influence from.

Rough Cut Front Cover:

This is the rough cut for the Front Cover. Know the first thing that I think is noticeable is the colour scheme. I took inspiration from all of the Mojo Magazine I looked at. This is because they usually use a three colour scheme on there Magazine. As you can see the three colours that I used were purple, red and white. These were the three main colours. I also used a bit of black because every other Magazine I looked at included Black somewhere. You might also notice that the main image is the biggest and covers a lot of the page. I also had it so that his head just covered the title. This is again something that I saw in all the Mojo Magazines I had looked at. The Music Magazine is called Dynamic. This was a decision that I made and I like the name. The second image is also on the page. It is a bit smaller because it is only a side image. I put it against a red background so that it didn't look to out of place. You will see that I have filled the front cover with information and also I have put the bar code that I designed using Photoshop in. Finally the free CD was inspired from all of the Mojo magazines I had looked at. This is because I thought it looked good and was also something that is very conventional.


Content Page Rough Cut:

   
This is my rough cut content page. As you can see it follows the main colour scheme of purple, red and white. I also added the bold colour of Black because it stands out against the purple well. Know the content page main image is located on the right hand side of the page. This image I think looks very good for the content page. This is because the model is almost looking down on the audience, making them want to read. This is something that I took inspiration from the Mojo Magazines. One of them had a model looking down and I liked this. You can see that in my research. As you can see I filled some stories in where I had left the space in my Hand drawn design. Those stories are of things that are in my Magazine. You might notice that in the very bottom right hand corner, there is the page number and it has the name of the Magazine (Dynamic) and then the number. This is again something I saw on the Mojo Magazines and I liked it. The biggest piece of text on the actual content page itself is the title Content. This is something that is important because people need to have a clear identification that it is a content page. I also took inspiration from a lot of the Mojo Magazines I looked at when it comes to the quote at the bottom. This is coloured with a white font with a red background. This is something that I think is important because it follows the colour scheme that I have decided to use. I thought that I needed to use a quote because it's something that looked good on the Magazines I was looking at.

Rough cut Double page Spread:

      This is the rough cut of the Double Page Spread. This follows the colour scheme, but a bit differently. There is no purple located on the page and there is a bit more Black on. The first main bit of black is found on the main image. This is because I have made it more black and white following that theme. Also the main background colour is White. I have highlighted a lot of things in the colour red. This is because firstly it is part of my colour scheme but also, red stands out very well against the white. Making it very powerful and look really good. As you can see one of the things that is highlighted is the at the bottom of the third paragraph. This is a quote from the article itself. Again this is something that I saw in the analyse research I had previously done. Also the image is against a red background. The main image is Black and White which is something that I saw in my research. Another thing that I saw in my research that I have done is the way that the image goes over the half way line. The title is coloured red and is under the image. I also have a drop capital at the start. This is coloured red and is something that I think looks really good. The page number is in the bottom right hand corner and has dynamic written in front. This is something that I saw on the Mojo Magazine. I have made it so that there are three columns the same size and then one bigger one above the second image. I think this looks neat and accurate.
