Logo Designs and drafts

This is my first draft and ideas for my logo  and magazine name .  Where I have chosen  indie music  as my focus for the task of music magazine I've tried to link the whole image of indie and indie music into the design and title/logo of my magazine.

This  is my second draft in which I've narrowed  down my favourite choices  and done them in more detail.

Ideas of information for main piece

These are a few ideas of which I could include in my magazine either on the front cover or contents page. 

Mumford and sons and Ben Howard are the two artists which I am considering to focus on for my double page spread.
These are a few ideas of which I could use as information in  my double page spread. 

This is my research of possible band photo's/images in which I could recreate for my main front cover image or for my double page spread photo.   

Front Cover Draft

My first front cover draft was based around a style/layout of Q Magazines.

The information on my draft is of the information I will possibly select to put on my final piece.

My second front cover draft with Ben Howard and the Brits as my focus point.

Research



Q magazine research

I chose Q magazine to research as it is one of the top music magazine in the UK.

My Music Magazine

My music magazine is going to be baste round indie music and up and coming indie music festival.

The target audience which I was producing my magazine for, those who follow Indie and alternative music and fashions. The way I plan to achieve this is by incorporating some of the biggest and most currant Indie and alternative bands as well as trying to link the fashion and trends fans’ of these bands into in my magazine such as having my logo and other aspects of my magazine star/universe images.

With my magazine being a UK/British released magazine.  With this in mind I’ve chosen to create a Brit Awards special showing off the best of British with my front cover being Mumford & Sons.  The reason I chose Mumford & Sons for my front cover and to talk about in my double page spread is because they have had a very big year in the Indie/alternative music scene with a massive tour in America. It’s very hard for a British Band to make it big in America due to the diverse musical cultures within America however Mumford & Sons are one of the few which have achieved this.  This is why I felt it was important to have in my magazine as they are a band which fit into the style of magazine I would like to produce. 

Main Task

Brief: my tack is to create music magazine of a genre of my own choice. I must create a front page, contents page, page spread.

Final submission & Evaluation

Evaluation

My evaluation of my prelim task is that I'm happy with my final edition of front cover and contents page for my task to create a school magazine. I believe the areas of the whole task in which I need to improve on is my timing to get the research and drafting done quicker and to time. I also believe that with research and drafting I should go into more depth and detail when doing so. However I'm happy with my whole project and how it went.
