Ideas

i wanted to use some graffiti somewhere in the magazine and i actually found a very good picture from google that i wanted to use but later found out that this would not be allowed because of copyright laws. so i decided to do my own research and go out and take pictures of graffiti, i then chose the best one and used that. I think it works really well on my double page spread and looks quite good.

New new name for magazine

I decided to go for a completly different and new design for my magazine. I did this because when i had completed my 'Gangster' magazine it didnt look as good as i thought it would and looked almost like a cartoon magazine. It didnt look professional, so i decided to go for a whole new outlook and change the style completly. My final magazine is now called 'Indy'and focuses completly on indie music, fashion and style.

Life on Mars

This clip has lot to do with ethnic backgrounds and the stereotypes that come with it, for example the policeman assumed that asian man had stolen the tv just becuase of the colour of his skin. the fact that someone is irish almost made them as second class citizens just like blacks were and were associated with all the jobs that the english didnt want to do(the crap jobs pretty much)for example 'shovelling shit' as he says.

Mock Double Page Spread

-This Will Be On Shortly :)

Possible Title Fonts

these are just a few of the fonts i looked at, i tried to get one that looked 'gangster' ish.

New name for magzine

After recent thought about my magazine name i have decided to change the name to 'G'. I chose this because it ties in with Hip Hop quite nicely, many rappers/artist who make Hip Hop music have a bad man/rude boy appearance. For example Biggie Smalls or Tupac, they both come across as very gangster, which is where i got the G idea from.

Colour Schemes

I really like the idea of having a grey colour scheme, not only do i think it looks good but i think its how Hip-Hop is portrayed in a way. This is a really good example which i like alot, the blue goes really well with the grey and think this piece is very effective.

Colour Schemes

Magazine Analysis

This is probably one of the best magazine covers i could find to try and show what ideas ive got in mind. I really like the 'cartoony' effect it has, something like this is what im after. i dont want the cartoon element to over power the magazine but i would like there to be an aspect of it in there and i think this one does it well, it looks good, easy to read and goes really well.

Further Inspiration

All these pictures are by one of my favourite artist Kaws. I studied him last year at GCSE art and really like his work, i like it because he draws cartoons which i like and would probably choose to draw myself, however he adds a twist if you like, he puts crooses across the eyes and sometimes a bone through the head. Kaws doesnt just do cartoons, he does models and figures aswell as many other things. These look really effective and i would like some aspect of this in my magazone.

Media Mood Board

Inspiration

I really like this magazine cover, it looks like something i imagine a hip hop magazine to look like and even if it didnt have the title 'Hip Hop', i think you would still be able to know what genre of music it is. i want to base my final piece on something like this.

Here are some other, more professional examples of hip hop magazine covers which i like.

Feedback

When i presented my 25 word pitch to my class i got pretty much the same feedback. I want to use some aspect of cartoons in my magazine and the class liked the idea of this very much but as i thought they said it would be quite difficult to include this. Also they liked the idea of a hip hop magazine and the colour schemes that i chose.

Possible Magazine Names

I thought about alot of names for my magazine, it needs to be something that people remember easily and that sounds good aswell. Many ideas came to my head like rap, smooth, bad and tingz but one that stood out to me was Muze. I think it gives it that Hip-Hop element to it and when people read they'll think 'oh thats hip-hop magazine' without even opening it.

American Gangster Film Clip

I put this clip from my favourite film American Gangster on because Frank just shoots someone on the street, that shows how bad he is, he dont care! But this film works really well and there is some good acting in there. This is probably the best film ive seen and ive seen a fair share of films.

to do list

By the end of the week i want to be up to date on just about everything, to ensure i do this i will be looking at my peers blogs to see what ive missed and looking at my teachers blogs to see what needs to be done.

Audience Profiling

GOING TO DO THIS ONCE IVE THOUGHT ABOUT MY MAGAZINE

25 Word Pitch Feedback

When we presented our ideas to the class we gained some valuable ideas about our Magazine. The fist important piece of information we got was that the majority of the class liked the idea of having an element of cartoon in the magazine and we were encouraged by this, and have decided to add some more cartoony details onto the magazine. However we also realised that we need to think about what's going on the contents page and other details like this. With that in mind we decided to have it on a new single being released by the person on the front cover.

25 Word Plan

Three colours are black blue and white

Magazine name is 'Muze.'

Target Audience 15-25

Based on Hip-Hop

Camera Shots

•long shot
the long shot is a shot in which you can see the whole body and the some of the scenery. It is used to show a person in an environment.


•medium shot
Covers half the body from the knee's or waist upwards. It's used to show dialogue scenes or when a character is performin actions.


•close up
shows little background and focus' on the characters facial expression rather than there body. Can be seen as an intimate shot.

•shot reverse shot
Used to show two characters talking to each other, enables you to see the reaction provoked by both characters. This enables you to judge there friendship or relationship.


•high angle shots
a shot from above looking down. used to show the scenery and how the place looks (how big it is, what the environment's like). one popular example of this shot is the opening of eastenders.


•low angle shots
a low angle shot is a shot from below looking upwards. Low angles help give a sense of confusion to a viewer, of powerlessness within the action of a scene. The background of a low angle shot will tend to be just sky or ceiling, the lack of detail about the setting adding to the disorientation of the viewer. The added height of the object may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen.


•tracking shot
The tracking shot is where the camera follows the movement of the character and is sometimes reffered to as an over-shoulder shot.

•pan
A movement which scans a scene horizontally. The camera is placed on a tripod, the camera is turned, often to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.


•tilt
A movement which scans a scene vertically. similar to pan.



•continuity
is where the scenes are interconnecting then edited to give one smooth scene.


•montage
Montage is when a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information.
