About Deadline.

I have finished my music magazine front cover, but I can not post it to my blog as it is saved to the school computer and I was going to save it to my memory stick and post it to my blog today(Friday 17th December) but the school was closed, sorry!

Examples of Subsidiary Image for "Rockstar's Tattoos".

Here are 3 examples of images that I could use for my subsidiary image on the theme of "Rockstar's tattoos", I wanted the image to highlight the tattoo but not show just the tattoo. For this image, I used a normal biro and drew a tattoo onto my friend Steph :) I think this idea worked well.

Examples of Main Image.

Here's a selection of 5 of the images that I could use for my main image. I have used a guitar, a rubber duck and a bottle of rum as props. I am going to remove the background and add one of two possible backgrounds.

Possible backgrounds:

Tartan -

Brickwork -

Second & Third Drafts of Music Magazine Cover

Here I have added a slogan and filled in the bottom banner.

Here I have added one subsidiary image(in which I removed the background and added the letter "V"), I still have to think about, the barcode, price and date/issue number, the sell lines, the second subsidiary image and the main image.

Examples of Subsidiary Image for "Battle of the Bands".

Magazine Covers/Images that I like.

I like this cover, for the glance. The look in the artists' eyes makes them appear powerful and dominant, this is how I want my cover artists to appear.



This image is shot from a slightly low angle, emphasising the superiority and overall power that the band have, they almost look arrogant.



This image shows a similar stance and facial expression that I want to create for my subsidiary image on "Battle of the Bands".



This image is similar to the one that I hope to create for my subsidiary image of "Rockstar's tattoos and their meanings". It shows the detail of the tattoo beautifully.

First Draft of Music Magazine Cover (without sell lines, barcode, issue number, slogan or images)

This is the basic idea of what my music magazine will look like (with images), I have also added a note to myself too remind me to change the font of the masthead to a font that I have found on an online font generator. Here is a sample:
