Ideas (mindmap) for final piece

These are my ideas of what I am going to put in my final piece, I have thought of different options in which I can put on the front of my magazine, I have also decided the direction I would like the light to come from I have done this so that I am able to have certain shadows in certain places to add emphasis on the features of the face and background shadows. I have also chosen to have a plain or very minimal background so that it is clear to the audience.

I have chosen specific cover lines that fit in with the genre of it being an indie music magazine, I have used typical cover lines similar to those in other music magazines so that the audience is able make connections with it and other music magazines and they can expect the similar things of what is going to be inside (this is what they'd want to see in a music magazine) I have chosen to use words that are directed at the reader and also instructs them this makes them feel as if the magazine is for them personally. By also using single connotations like BUY! it adds emphasis on it by it also being in capital letters with an exclamation mark the audience knows that it automatically shouts out to them. I have also decided to uses methods of attraction by having a win a free therefore the audience will feel more inclined to buy it as there could be a prize at the end of it.

I have decided to do a double page spread for my contents page I have done this because it was the most popular idea from the questionnaire. I have also decided to have lots of images to make the writing look less over powering and intimidating to the reader (more appealing) I have also decided to use more close up shots unless it is of a band as the pictures cannot be big and therefore long shots would be hard to see and make out what they are.

 

To make my ideas for my double page spread I have used the results from my questionnaire, I have chosen to have only one picture and for it to fill a full page to add emphasis on the photo but I have chosen to have my model in different positions after taking the photos i will decide which one looks best but preferably I would like to have the shots of her on a rope swing among trees. I have also decided to use similar aspects to other music magazines to make sure that the magazine does not change to suit a different purpose for example the large drop down caps.
