Front cover

This is where I am up to with creating my magazine, I still need to add the picture on the front cover from my photo shoot.

Props and costume examples

Here is a picture of a group of disk jockies called the sweedish house mafia. The music genre of these dj`s link to my magazine.

The costumes in this picture shows smart casual clothes, shirts, jeans, jackets. These are the type of costumes I will be using when I am doing the photoshoot for my magazine.

The props I will be using in the photos will be linked to my chosen genre of music, the props that will be used will be dj equipment and lighting. I will be using dj decks, headphones, speakers, amps, mixers, and strobe lighting. I will get some good shots of these props in my photos.

This picture is a good example of the props I will be using in the photo shoot, it gives good examples of lighting and the dj equipment used. Also it’s a good example of costumes and how they are dressed casually.

This is another example of the props that I will be using.  Here is a picture of DJ Tiesto and the props and costumes used in this image. This links in to how my magazine will look after the photo shoot.

Mood board

This is my mood board. This represents how my magazine will look. The colors used in the mood board show the contrast between light colors and dark colors.This represents the scene of a night club which is very dark and has strong bright lights.The fonts used in the pictures are very bold and bright text, this emphasizes the text.

PETE TONG AND ALESSO JOIN SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA

@  MILTON KEYNES BOWL

We are pleased to announce Pete Tong and Alesso are the latest acts to be added to the ever growing line up for the Swedish House Mafia’s ‘One Night Stand’ show at Milton Keynes Bowl on 14^th July 2012.

These two new additions follow last week’s announcement of Calvin Harris and pop/house producer Madeon who also joined the bill for the gargantuan 9 hour long event that’s tipped to be the dance event of the summer.

As the UK’s best loved DJ and host of BBC Radio 1’s groundbreaking Essential Selection show Pete Tong’s legacy in electronic music history is legendary.   He is the master of merging the underground with the mainstream and responsible for breaking some of the biggest tracks over the last 20 years.  When Pete speaks people listen, and with millions tuning into ‘something for the weekend’ this makes Pete the voice of the dance music generation.   Another artiste to break through over the last couple of years is Sebastian Ingrosso’s protégé Alesso.   At only 19 years old and with massive productions including ‘Calling’ and 'Raise Your Head' already under his belt, his fanbase continues to grow receiving accolades from the likes of Tiësto, Avici and Sander van Doorn.   2012 is set to be Alesso’s year. 

Music genre

I will be making my magazine on the electronic/house music. This is mainly because this is the type of genre of music i like so it will assist me in making my magazine and make it more enjoyable. The music is mainly made or assisted by modern technology using beats, singing, sounds and instruments. An example of one of these instuments would be MIDI. The magazine will not be very formal as there isnt a need for it to be as people will understand the text used as this magazine is just aimed at people who are intrested in this genre of music and the younger generation. The house style used will be very eye catching and look very modern, this will link together with the genres of music this magazine will be about. To make the magazine stand out to people I will be using and promoting big names within this genre, for example big DJ`s like David Guetta. He is the best rated DJ in the world at the moment according to http://www.djmag.com/top100. Having top DJ`s will make the magazine more appealing to the audience.

 

Related Magazine Analysis

This Computer music magazine links in perfect to the type of magazine i would like to create. The genre used in this magazine is electro/house music and attracts the attention of the younger generation who like this genre of music. Therefore this magazine is very similar to the magzine i will be creating. This the front cover of this magazine. They use very bright eye catching colours and big bold writing. This effect draws the attention of the audience to the magazine. The text used is specialized jargon which links to the audience of that specific genre of music. The house style is kept the same on the front cover with black and white writing on a orange background. The house style is not kept the same throughout all the different magazines, all different colours are used for different genres of music. The Headline of the magazine is very eye catching as it consists of big, bold text. This is informing the audience what this magazine is about whilst getting backed up by the tagline which is giving more information about the magazine. The barcode is situated at the bottom right of the magazine which is out the way but still visible.

Analysis of news letters

Analysis of news letters

This newsletter gives very good effect first of just by the use of colors and the layout of the letter. The colors are bright and eye catching to start and look very professional and contrast with the pictures well. Also this newsletter includes pictures of the school, the picture shows the school in a positive light to inform people what the school is like by having a picture with people who represent that school after recieving some kind of achivement.
The text on the newsletter is very formal, there are many reasons for this being that the person who written this newsletter does may not know the audience its presented to personally so formal language is necessary. Also the school newsletter needs to make the school look professional and knowledgable in what they are talking about and informal language would not be appropiate. This newsletter is mainly all text, this is to inform the reader in detail what they are trying to explain.
