These were the orignol phtos i started off with for my Front cover and Contents page and duble page spread.
This is my contents page. the image i used was a median close up shot, i chose this image is an "upcomeing artist" and it looks like she is in thort it also ties in with the main quote. the image started of with normal colours however i wanted to make it tie in with the colour scheem wich was red black and white which was the front covers main colours. this will make the frontcover and contents page look more familer with one and other, and make it look like a genuine magazine, so i changed the images contrast bu i left the lips red to make it match with the subheadings and to stil stand out, as havein so much text on top of the image it may take atention off the image. the tex features on the right hand side of the cover wehich show the page numbers, i have used some quotes in that by artists bu not giveing to much information as it is just the contets page.

The main image of the magazine cover i have created is of a "Urban Music Artist", the image is framed with straplines that are fitted around the image and to bring out the images best asets also the main images head is covering abit of the mashead, which makes the magazine look more exculsive. the main image is dressed to fit the genre which is RnB Urban the pose and cloths fits that. the colours that i have used contrast with eachother to make the writing stand out, the masthead and kiker have the same colour so it blends in, the colour used were Black, White and Red. the colours also match the image.the pose of the image is very shy like as the modle is looking down which also contrasts alittle with the kiker as it says " kimmi bares all" which would make the reader intrester to read the magazine. the image wil relate to audiance that are intrested in RnB Urban music and relates to the age groups of 16 - 25 year olds which is more the magazines target audiance.

The name of the magazine is "The SHOCK" that fits in with the genre of the magazine and makes the magazine sound more intresting to read. Some of the starplines have linguistic devices, such as "exculsive interview with", and "Kimmi Bares all" is the pun it soundes like she wil bere all as in how she is dresses and that she will tell; everyone how she is realy feeling. All these devices make the magazine sound intresting to read.

All the Convention on the front cover, fit around the image and try to compliment the image and its assets. For example the strap lines that are on the right hand side are curvy to fit the women's curves which emphasis them much more, and portrays the image that most urban, R n B female artists are like that. Also the women's head is overlapping the masthead it shows that it is a famous magazine which means people will already know the magazines name so it doesn't matter if it is not all showing, also the image is on the right hand side in the rule of thirds, the look that she gives is very titillating and seductive which makes us look strait at her eyes and the light is hitting of her curves which makes them stand out as well.

After taking a series of phtographs for my front cover I chose this one because it was a medium close up shot and it had potential to edit with photoshop, this image started of as a row of pupils on computers, I used the bluring affects on all but one pupil and their keybord, this made the shot more pupil and computer specific. The reason that I choose a sixthformer with non uniform rather then a regular uniform student, is because it makes the cover feel more grown up and adult and it wil also appear more appealing and relatable to the upper school pupils aswel as the younger. this picture portrays an image of a student hard at work and is good for the schools reputation. The strap lines i made relevent to the picture so about ICT so that the picture blends in with the theme.
