inspiration.

From the first image I saw of Iain Crawfords, I knew I wanted to use him as my inspiration for my images, although his pictures have obviously took a lot of time and years of practice which I havent't got. His images are very bright and creative and many different colours are used. Some of them are quite mad and crazy personally too much, almost as if he had ran out of ideas of what to do he just threw something together which I don't really like (the swimming hat images) although my top rated are definetly the paint threw images, these are most of the images. If i had the time and equipment i would definetly do the paint effect image as I think it really stands out, different and would get peoples attention.

colour pallet.

I made this colour pallet with not a very wide variety of colours, these colours will run through out my magazine, however I may not use all of them, I think the font's will be black and the colours will relate to the images. The colours are quite unisex however mostly masculine.

audience profile.

The target audience I am going for are male & female ages around 15 to about 22, the main reason for this is because I don't want it too be limited, if it was just a female magazine not as many people would buy it and it wouldn't appeal to everyone. However as my magazine cover is a special edition on just a female people could get the idea it's just for males however I don't want this to happen, so will try and put in some masculine subjects. Because the genre of music is quite a range I think this will be very appealing to people, as I'm trying to make it quite new however 'old skool' also so many people may read it because of the differences. Also the fact I am using fashion in the magazine gives it more of a variety and a bigger set audience.

Opinion on the blog/magazine/photgraphs;
'I really like the ideas of the article 'Two Lives' because it shows Jodie has put a lot of thought into it, and it's definetly something I would buy to read. I like the colours what she has used for the title and how it links into the pictures. I don't really like the theme of the music because I don't really listen to that, however the magazine(ideas) look very interesting so this is one reason it interests me.'

Opinion on the blog/magazine/photgraphs;
'I think the photo's are very creative, of what i have seen. I think the blog is very eye catching, nice bright colours which is nice to look at it, it links very well with the theme of the magazine. I don't really like the genre of music as I don't really listen to that sort, however the magazine still does interest me.'

rough idea- article.

The title of my article is going to be called 'Two Lifes' the reason for this being is because the artist I have made up is just an 18 year old, college girl unknown to the music industry however has just been noticed and is now hopefully now an upcoming music artist. So I done an interview on both of her lives, one being the normal and the other music. Her name in real life is Natasha Yates and her music name is NY, this is described in the article on why she chose the 'NY' which is not just her initials, but actually means something. One part of the page being NY and the other Natasha Yates, these being seperated by a zig zag 'tear' and being 'taped' up by pictures of both the 'people' however not too parted as I don't want to seperate them too much, then with an interview.
