magazine mockups.


Front Cover; Although this is just a simple title and image design I think it is already quite effective as the colours stand out and grab your attention, that is what I wan't my real magazine design to do. I also really like the pose the model is doing here, and will take into account when I am taking photos of my model.

Front-Cover'second edit; Although my mock up is quite plain, I wan't my magazine cover to be more busy, so it stands out more, not too much as it becomes messy but enough to catch the buyers attention. The barcode and price will be essential on my magazine to make it look professional and realistic, as will the masthead. I more than likely will put in a plug, this draws the readers in as something can be won. The title font I have used here, was from 'Dafont.com', I then coloured it in on paint, I will be using this exact one for my real magazine cover.
Contents; I really like the style of this contents, especially the masthead, and the title's down the side of the page, I think i will most likely use these as it suits the magazines needs by standing out and being bright, just like the masthead. The images at the bottom of the page are of 'dafont.com' and I think they fit in really well, I did try it with the colour scheme however the black and white work better together I think, I really like how it's quite simple however stands out and is just like an audio tape, cd player.
DoublePageSpread; The rip effect will definetly be used in my real magazine, I got the image of google however I will be taking the picture of a ripped peice of paper, this will most likely be a different colour to white as I can then change it to white on photoshop as it looks better and more professional. The reason I like it so much is because the title of the article is going to be called two lives, and with a rip down the page it splits the artist up into two, one being her perform and the other in 'real life'. I really like this double page however I think it's too plain, with my real one I want it to be stand out, my real images will do this and the title however i'm not sure on what font and colours I will be using there, and how I will use the colour scheme to not look messy. I wan't more going on with the page however not too crammed. I don't really like how I have done the overlapping images as I think it looks quite childish and collage like, I do like this effect however just not here. The big image is one of my real photo's for the magazine also the 'Never Again' one, the never again being her album, I have not chosen the final images for the magazine however I do have an idea.
