Double Page Spread

Here is my finished double page spread.

Grime Magazine Research

As you can see the artist ‘Giggs’ has straight eye contact with the audience this draws attention to the reader. They placed him in the middle of the page to emphasis that he is main feature of the magazine. The medium shot that is taken is used to show us his outfit, which makes a huge link to the grime genre of this magazine it also shows us his chain which gives him a high status and make us think that he is someone important and is respected. He has no emotion on his face; however he looks confident because he has his up and looks relaxed by slightly tilting his head to the side which gives off a carefree attitude. The colours that are used are pretty basic; red, white and the background is black.

 I think that the target audiences for this magazine are people aged 15-24 year olds as the artist that are listed to the right side of the magazine are young artist which people between that age would listen to and would be interested to read about, particularly if they are keen about the grime scene. Overall, I think this magazine will be more attracted by males because of the colours that are being used which are very simple colours but bold.  There is not much on the front cover of this magazine; there is only an image of the grime artist ‘Giggs’ which will attract an audience of people that are interested in grime.

Grime Magazine Research

 As you can see the artist ‘Skepta’ has straight eye contact with the audience this draws attention to the reader. They placed him in the middle of the page to emphasis that he is main feature of the magazine. The medium shot that is taken is used to show us his outfit, which makes a huge link to the grime genre of this magazine. He has no emotion on his face; however he looks confident and relaxed giving off a carefree demeanor. The colours that are used are pretty basic; red, white and the background is dark blue.

 I would say that the target audiences for this magazine are people aged 15-24 year olds as the artist that are listed to the left side of the magazine are young artist which people between that age would listen to and would be interested to read about, especially if they are eager about the grime scene. Generally, I think this magazine will be more attracted by males because of the colours that are being used which are very simple colours but bold, these colours are used to show the urban side of the magzine especially with the red light reflecting off 'Sketpa'.  There is not much on the front cover of this magazine, there is only an image of  the grim artist ‘Skepta’ which will attract an audience of people that are interested in  grime.

Here is what my double page spread is looking like so far i still have alot of improments to make but this is just showing you what i've done so far.

This is the finished cover of my magazine.

Page Numbers

Here i have created a logo which will contain the number of the page using the roman numerals.
This particular logo is for the page 44.

Contents Page Research

The image that is used for this contents page reflects on the R’n'B vibe of this magazine, with an image of a male wearing a backwards flat cap, shirtless with tattoos on show, gold teeth and jewelry. The title is presented in 3 lines, with part of the letters slightly covered by the image. The magazine logo is printed on the top right corner, with a ‘V’ over the top of the page with low opacity against the red background. both font that have been used are simple and the information regarding the magazine is layed out in one column on the left side of the contents page.  the colour of the writing is written in white so it can be seen against the red background. The image is under the writing which could make it more difficult to read, I personally think text wrap looks best as it engages the image with the text more, and brings both features together.

This was my favourite picture out of all of the pitures I have taken to the reason I have chosen this is because it fitted the grime genre of the magazine. the model fits in perfectly as he uses the right facial expression for the grime industry.

The masthead i used is very simple but very effective as you will see later on toward the final piece that the simplicity of the mastehead really reflex on how simple masteheads can be used with a unique effect to the rest of the cover

my magazine cover so far, alot more things need to be done and improved.
