Photoshop Experimentation. Blur experiment.

Here I created two layers used the Gaussian blur on one layer and then rubbed out the area's I didn't want blurred, I like this effect and think I might try it on my photo.

Photoshop Experimentation. Colour experiment.

This I layed up the images and turned one layer black and white, I then using the rubber tool, rubbed out the area's I wanted to keep coloured.

5 Line Summary.

 My new music magazine will have indie rock/alternative rock; it is different to the other magazines as it is aimed at indie rock/alternative rock, only not like Kerrang that covers rock - metal. Its house style is the music note with wings and the font, the colours as well being red and blue, will stand out, also the headphones on the master head will make it recognisable. It will have a very informal tone and register. This will appeal to the target audience as they are stereotypically the type to want informal language, the type of music magazine is unique making it appeal to an audience I know from research is there.

flat plan's & House style

House Style

The house style of my music magazine is very important in a music magazine. The key house style elements is the music notes with wings, and the red and blue lettering, also a simular font to the front cover, to keep a style thoughtout.

My Artist Photoshoot plan

My friend Amy is already a singer and typically sings the type of music that my magazine targeted at. She also has a "rock chic" but "unique" look which fits the alternative "indie" style look. She is very Pretty which will attract the mostly Male audience. As Amy is my freind it is easier for me to organise photoshoots and interviews with her.  I believe i will do a simular style photoshoot to the one above it fits her into the style of artist I want in my music magazine. I also plan to try sitting her on a steps with minimal lighting to create a slightly creepy effect.

EXCLUSIVE sign

I came up with the Idea of having an exclusive sign over the artist, I wanted the sign to look like a censord sign so I found the picture online of a a sign i changed the colour and added in the "Exclusive" text instead. I think this would be eye catching.
