Update on Front Cover

This is the start of my front cover.  I haven't kept to the flat plans for certain parts, such as, the main sell lines because they didn't work with how I was originally going to place them so I moved them to the middle and I think it works better that my first idea.  The top of the front cover has stuck to the flat plans and I think it looks better than having the masthead big and filling the top of the page.  I like it like this because you can add more too it and it looks more regional.  It looks more regional because most regional magazines don't have the masthead right across the top of the page, whereas, on national magazines, they usually do.  I may change a few parts of the front cover when I put the photo on there because some parts may not fit or they may not look right when the photo is placed on there.

Difference between National and Regional Magazines

Location Scout

One location that I would like to take my photos at is the Bandstand in Mowbray Park.  I like this location because it is an open space and it would be good if I could get my models to look as if they are playing music on there.  I also think this location would be good because it would add to my Autumn theme with all of the leaves on the ground.  The Bandstand would make my photos look natural instead of having them taken in a studio will artificial lighting; I feel that natural lighting would work better.



Also, I think the bridge in Mowbray Park would look really good in Autumn, too.  I think that it would make I nice setting for an Autumn themed magazine because the bridge is made of wood and I think it would look quite rustic in the photos.



I would also think about taking some photos at Penshaw Monument because it has a lot of wooded areas and, in Autumn, I think it would look really good and add a nice effect to the photos rather that standing next to a tree or taking the photos in a studio because I don't think that the images would look effective taken in those places.  Also the natural lighting would look very effective for an Autumn themed magazine because, to capture the autumn feel, you should take your photos outside.



Also, the woods at Penshaw would look effective because there would be a lot of leaves on the ground to add to the Autumn theme and also I think it would look effective because it would look nice in the background but it would keep the reader's attention on the models and the stories on the double page spread.
 

Barnes Park is another location which I am thinking about for taking my photos. I liked the idea of Barnes Park because it has a lot of trees and also wide open space and I feel that my photos would look effective if taken here.

Font Ideas

These are the fonts that I am thinking about using for my magazine.  I like these fonts because they bold and big and I want that on my magazine.  I think that they go well with the name of my magazine because you can clearly see what it says, which is what I want, also, they stand out and I want that so that it catches the audience's eye.  I also like them because they add to my autumn theme and that is what I want to get across to the audience.  I feel that these would be effective to use for my magazine because, with them being bold, they would be the first thing the audience sees, other than the main image.
I have also chosen to use the font "Titania" which is the 5th font on the page. I chose this font because I feel that it stands out compared to the rest of the fonts. I also chose this font because I think it would look good and it would fit on festival music magazine. It is bold and it makes a statement and I haven't seen this style of font on any other magazines so it with make mine stand out more.
