Update

Recently, our group have been planning our design for our magazine front cover, contents page and double page article. Also, we have been taking our photos we need at photoshoots. I have taken all of the images i will need and i am now in the process of editing them in photoshop, and then i will import them into Indesign. Using Indesign, my group and i have been discussing the background colour, the fonts of the masthead and the colour and size of it. We came up with four fonts that we all liked, then we asked the audience to pick the font that stood out to them most. The results proved that we are going to use the Elegant font as it is simple but also it is very bold and stands out. Our background is black as it links in with our hybrid genre-jazz and pop-as black links in with jazz and the colours will stand out boldy linking with pop. The background also makes the masthead stand out and is very clear. For the masthead, we started with the title in white but thought it looked too basic so we added a shadow of the masthead in lilac. The white and lilac colours link in with the pop element of the magazine. I am now in the process of annotating my flatplans and will upload them as soon as i have completed them. We have also decided on who is going to be featured in our issues. In each issue, on the double page article, we have decided to do an interview with the main cover star persona but also on that page will feature lyrics to their songs that we have made up ourselves. We made the lyrics sound like they could be part of a pop and jazz song. Furthermore on the article, we will all create a CD cover of the artist at the bottom of the page, advertising their music which is what you often see in many music magazines.
