planning

during my prelimanary task i took various images for my school magazine, i was thinking of themes that i could use for the front cover and i took an image of the head girl reading a book for performing arts university which ties in with the title of my magazine which i picked perform out of all my possible titles, because it was the most commonly chosen one from my piers, and because i liked the title.
on my front cover i thought of things i could write on the front cover.
i took a few more pictures that i used on the contents page of all different curricular activities such as the football team winning the match, and an arts student doing his work and a teacher teaching his lesson. and majority have been mentioned on the front cover.

For my music magazine i used examples and ideas from some well known rock magazines seeing i was going to use rock as my theme i wanted to see what was appropriate for convensional and typical rock magazine. I took parts of Kerrang, nme and rock sound magazine and combined it to create my own magazine with a twist for the front cover i used one main image to show that my magazine is based on this one image(band).
i also chose 3 main colours for my magazine which are Grey, Red and Black, i applied this colour scheme through out all of my pages which are my Front Cover, Contents Page and my Double Page Spread.
This was applied to make it conventional such as Kerrang, NME and Rock Sound.

these are a couple of images i put into my magazine.
