Plan for shoot for double page spread

I am going to take photos of my model possibly with some decks and then some more images up against a brick wall. I think these will work well on the double page spread better than in a studio because then they look more realistic. Also this follows the criteria for my magazine.

In the process of my double page spread

This is my partly finished double page spread. I have decided to do two different pages because i thought afterwards that the interview would work well but not over two pages. I think that having an events page is good because it links in with the whole magazine and also it is relevant. I also chose to use some different colour schemes on the inside pages because i think it was looking a bit bland.

Planning Double Page spread

For my double page spread i think i am going to include a section on the best events to visit in bristol and also and interview with Chase and Status including things like up and coming events and tours. Also i will include a few questions from fans and pictures to make it seem as if UNDERGROUND magazine connects with its readers on a personal level. I may use some of the images from the shoot for the front cover but i am unsure at this time whether that will work.

Contents Page finished

This is my finished Contents page. I like the use of the white banners with the black stencil writing on top because it gives he impression that the writing has been highlighted. I also like the lay out of the contents page because although it is very simple it works. Drum and bass magazines follow a simple layout so a busy contents page would look out of place and not follow the criteria. I like the white line dividers inbetween each different page. I think the white banner at the bottom of the page really catches the readers attention and also by including a free giveaway online it is promoting the magazine, making it more well known but also the fans are gaining something too.

Contents Page planning

For my contents page i am going to continue to use the same font as i did on the front cover. This has to be done in order for the magazine to look professional. I think that for my contents page i should use a black background and use the white stencil font. I am going to list in a artistic way whats inside the magazine. I think that i should include some sort of banner along the bottom to grab the attention of the reader. Also on this page i will introduce my double page spread. The pictures that i am going to use are ones that i have taken and set up when out at different events. To have pictures from real events i think works better because it makes the magazine seem more real and also the DONTSTAYIN logos on the photos make the photos apppear mroe professional.

Front Cover Finished

This is my finished front cover. When i look back at what i planned for the cover it is very similar to the plan. I have used the font i chose at the beginning and also followed the same colour theme. I think this cover resembles ATM magazine alot and i think it looks professional.

I think the fact that it is not a very busy magazine cover draws the reader in even more and i think it serves its purpose. The only aspect that my front cover lacks opposed to ATM magazine is that it doesnt have a free CD attatched to the front.

I think that the photograph i chose for this cover works really well because of his yellow top standing out on top of the black. I kept all the colours quite matte like in ATM magazine so that they were similar.

Plans for front cover

On my front cover i think i am going to follow a colour theme of black and white. The font i have decided to use is called stencil and it is a font from photoshop. I have decided to use this font because i think it works well with the magazine and also its quite edgy. It stands out and grabs the attention of the reader. I am going to follow how ATM have done their front cover and do mine very similar so that the magazine follows the criteria that other drum and bass magazines follow.

Shoot for front cover

These are my thumbnails from my shoot for my front cover photograph. I used the studio because that is how all the other magazines from my

genre have done it. The image below was the image that i chose to use on the front cover.

This is because he is directly looking into the camera and this photograph follows all the criteria for a drum and bass magazine. I decided to use the headphones so that it was clear to the audience that he was a DJ.
