inspired by a form of dance (street dance)

this is a photograph i had taken, of a group of my friends. they are doing street dance poses and are tightly held together.

I have taken some photographs of my model doing a (street dance) freeze

I HAD TAKEN PHOTO'S OF MY MODEL WHICH FIT GTHE GENRE OF STREET DANCE (HIP HOP/ R&B/ FUNKY)

IT FITS PERFECTLY AS HER DRESS TYLE IS QUITE FUNKY AND HER MOVEMENTS (FREEZE FRAME) IS A STYLE OF DANCE, THAT IS VERY POPULAR IN GENRE OF R&B AND HIP HOP.

I INTENDED ON INCLUDING THESE PHOTOGRAPHS IN MY MAGAZINE. AS IT CLEARLY EXPRESSES THE GENRE WITH OUT ANY TYPE OF SIGN'S OR TEXT IMPLYING THE GENRE. WHEREAS I FELT THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS NOT THAT APPLYING SO I DECIDED NOT TO INCLUDE IT IN MY MAGAZINE

my samples of eye shadow

I TOOK EXTREME CLOSE UPS, AND CLOSE UPS OF MY MODEL. AS I WAS GOING TO INCLUDE ATLEAST ONE OF THE IMAGES IN MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD, I REALLY LIKED THIS IMAGE AS THE EYESHADOW REPRESNTS FUNKY. THE EYE SHADOW REPRESENTS A COMBINATION AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MUSIC AS EACH COLOUR REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT GENRE OF MUSIC E.G. YELLOW COULD REPRESENT COUNTRY MUSIC. BUT IN THE OTHER HAND I FELT AS IF THE IMAGES HAD POOR LIGHTING AND THE PHOTO'S I HAD TAKEN WAS NOT TO THE STANDARD I EXPECT.

I REALLY LIKED THESE IMAGES. BUT I FELT AS IF THE LIGHTING WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH. ALSO I DID NOT REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT BOTH MY MODELS EYE'S WERE CLOSED, AND HALF OF MY MODELS BODY HAS BEEN CUT OUT OF THE PHOTOGRAPH.

THIS IS MY INSPIRATION FOR MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

FIRST VEIW OF DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

THIS IS MY SECOND EDITED VERSION OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

I CHANGE MY INSPIRATION OF MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD AS I FELT IT WASNT REALLY WHAT I WANTED. LIKEWISE I AINT SPREADING THE PICTURE ACROSS THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

i felt the image above looked more like a front cover. so i dicided to base it on one charaterand the genre of music.

 

THIS IS MY SECOND IDEA OF A DOUBLE PAGE SPREA. I DECIDED TO DO A SERVEY AND GET PEOPLES IDEAS AND FEELINGS TOWARDS MY DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD. THEY FELT AS F THIS IMAGE WAS MUCH STRONGER THAN MY FIRST PHOTO FOR MY FIRST DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.

I ADDED MORE TEXT

I DIDNT LIKE THE WHITE BACKGROUND AS I FELT IT LOOKED WEAK ALSO THE HEADLINE LOOKED ABIT DULL COMPARED TO MY FRONT COVER

THE RESEARCH MORE AND LOOK AT DIFFERENT DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS, AND RELOGISED THAT ALL THE TEXT WERE IN COLOUMS NOT ROLES SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE MINE.

 I HAD TO STICK TO THE COLOUR SCHEME. I ALSO CHANGE THE HEADLINE TO THE SAME FONT AS MY FRONT COVER MAGAZINE.

I CHANGED THE STYLE OF MY MASTHEAD



THIS IS THE MASTHEAD I CHANGED THE FONT AND THE COLOUR TO THE SAME STYLE OF MY FRONT COVER MASTHEAD

I based my magazine around the q magazine contents page. this is my guide line to make my contents page look professional

THIS IS MY CONTENTS PAGE

THERE IS TO MANY SPACES BEEN LEFT. I ANALYSED DIFFERENT CONTENTS PAGES AND SAW THAT THE COMPRESSED ALOT OF THINGS TOGETHER

this is my edited version, i changed the font for each headline and made the the same. i also tightened the words together so there is more space for me to fix more things

I added my editors note to it

I EDITED THE BACKGROUND OF MY MAIN IMAGE. AS THE WALL HAD PAINTING ON IT THESE ARE THE STEPS I HAD TAKEN
1) CLONE STAMP TOOL PLACE THE ARROW ON WHERE YOU WANT TO CLONE, TO CLONE YOU ALSO PRESS "ALT" AT THE SAME TIME
2) PLACE ON THE AREA YOU WANT THE CLONING TO TAKE PLACE

I ALSO REALISED THAT PART OF THE JEANS WAS COVERED BY A BRICK SO I SELECTED AN AREA ON OF JEANS AND COPIED IT. THEN PASTED IT TO THE AREA I WANTED TO COVER

I FELT THE CONTENTS PAGE IS NOT THAT CONSISTENT WITH THE FRONT COVER MAGAZINE. THE COLOUR SCHEME IS NOT PROPERLY ORGANISED

 I STILL HAVE ALOT OF SPACES I NEED TO FILL OUT ALL THE SPACES TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL. ALSO TO MADE IT SEEM AS IF I HAVE ALOT TO INCLUDE TO MY CONTENTS PAGE

 I FILLED UP MOST OF THE SPACE I STAYED CONSISTENT WITH MY COLOURS

I HAD TO FILL UP THE EMPTY SPACE AS IT MADE MY MAGAZINE LOOK VERY UNPROFEESIONAL.

THIS IS MAGAZINE WAS A GUIDE LINE AND AN INSPIRATION TO MY MAGAZINE AS  IT CIRCULATES AROUND THE SAME GENRE AS MINE

THIS IS MY FIRST IMAGE OF MY FRONT COVER FOR MY MAGAZINE WITHOUT A PHOTO

I ADDED AN IMAGE TO MY FRONT COVER MAGAZINE THE FONT "THE UNEXPECTED" WAS FROM A WEBSITE www.dafont.com

 

I DECIDED TO CHANGED MY FRONT COVER MAGAZINE TO THIS ONE BELOW, BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS PHOTO WAS QUITE PIXELATED 

I DECIDED TO EDIT THE PHOTOGRAPH BY EDITING THE LIGHTING AND CONTRAST. ANOTHER THING A DID TO PREVENT SPREADING THE IMAGE ACROSS THE MAGAZINE. STEP 1. ON PHOTO SHOP I, SELECTED AN AREA OF THE BLUE BACKGROUND

2. WENT TRANSFORM -> SCALE. I ENLARGED THE SELECTED AREA

3. I THEN CLICKED ON LAYER-> MERGED DOWN. IN DOING THIS IT PLACED THE SEPARATE IMAGES TOGETHER.

4.THEN SELECT POLYGONAL, SELECT AND JOIN AROUND THE AREA YOU NEED TO EDIT.

5. GO ON SELECT AND MODIFY->FEATHER-> PLACE A NUMBER YOU WANT EAMPLE. 25.

6. GO ON FILTER-> BLUR-> GAUSSIAN BLUR

I DEVELOPED THE HEADLINE, BY GIVING A 3D EFFECT, WHICH INCLUDES SHADOW AND HIGHLIGHTS. THE IDEA OF THEM HOLDING HANDS, CONNTONES THE RELATIONSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP US THE TEENAGERS  SEEM TO LACK. I FEEL MUSIC IS A KEY WAY TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER AS SOME MAY SHARE THE SAME INTEREST AS OTHERS.

I TRIED COPYING THE LAYOUT OF MY VIBE MAGAZINE BY DOING THE SILVER BAR BUT IT DIDN'T FIT IT TO THE COLOUR SCHEME OF MY MAGAZINE SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE COLOUR BY DOING THE OPPOSITE COLOUR COLOUR WHICH IS GOLD ALSO IT GOES WITH THE GIRLS JUMPER

THE HEAD LINES NEEDED TO BE SEPARATED TO GIVE AN EFFECT OF A REAL MUSIC MAGAZINE, AS I LACKED ABIT OF HEADLINES. I ENLARGED THE MAST HEAD AND MOVED IT TO THE RIGHT HAND CORNER TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL, BECAUSE ALL THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC MAGAZINE'S I LOOKED AT. ALL THE MAST HEAD WAS A THE RIGHT HAND CORNER.

THE SWAGG IS ABIT DULL. COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE FRONT COVER OF THE MAGAZINE. LIKEWISE THE FONT IS TO SIMPLE AND FLAT.

I CHANGE UP MY MASTHEAD AND BROUGHT THE HEADLINES CLOSER TOGETHER

I ADDED MORE HEADLINES AND TO EVERY HEAD LINE I ADDED AN EFFECT CALLED "DROP SHADOW". TO MAKE THE WRITING STAND OUT AND JUMP OUT OF THE PAGE.
