Double page spread 1

My double page spread. I have used the 60's coloring and have a photo based a Beatles photo as they are a 60's band and very well know grabbing the attention of the reader more easily. the colors represent the magazine as it is well know color of the 60's as most video evidence of the 60's is of course black and white.

Front Cover and Double Page Spread Evaluation

Front Cover and Double Page Spread Evaluation

　

　

The magazine I have made is a 1960’s theme as it is my favorite decade of music and one the changed history forever. I have made all the details on my magazine exact like it would be an actual magazine from the 1960’s.

My main target audience for my magazine is people who enjoy the 1960’s but there are still people who could be interested in all types of music or who like to learn about the 1960’s. And I believe my codes and conventions does appeal to the target audience satisfaction as it matches the colors and you feel your reading an actual magazine from the 1960’s. I believe this magazine would appeal to my target audience from the type of details I have put into my magazine the makes it more 1960’s style.

For my front cover I had to try really hard had to search for the codes and conventions, so I searched up former 1960’s magazines and had to go all over the internet on to websites to check to find the certain details perfect for my magazine cover. I as well used a questionnaire to find out what people who have thought of the magazine and what should go into the magazine and what would fit into my magazine. I used around 30 people, (13 adults with 17 teenagers and 16 males with 14 females). From the questionnaire I found out what the magazine should be named, which got me `Back to the Past` which is the biggest part of the magazine as it is one f the main focuses of the magazine, what font I used which helps along with the magazine name, the graphic feature which attracts the reader more, and it was a heart which resembles the type of movement what was happening in the 60’s which is love, and one of the most important details which is what camera shot I should use, which most people voted for a wide shot. I as well used social media which goes against the Hypodermic Needle Model because of how I interact with the audience.

Like I was saying before I used many things to help me get the design of my front cover and double page spread so I analyzed two different types of magazines `NME` and `Rolling stone magazine` which both had something to do with 1960’s music, as the NME magazine had talked about John Lennon and as well had him on the front cover and the Rolling stone magazine is very popular with 1960’s music. When I analyzed the magazines it had helped me get the codes and conventions for my 1960’s magazine and helped me get a few ideas for the types of style I might want my magazine. And as well as the main image of the NME magazine as it helped me choose the colors of my main image. And the Rolling Stone magazine helped me choose my design of my magazine.

My magazine represents the people who had published it as a type of company who wanted either people to remember the 1960’s who wanted to go pack to ‘the good all days’ or they want people who weren’t alive at the time to get a feel to it to see how it was with the different types of magazine or to see how music was in the 1960’s and what people think about the music back in the 1960’s. And my magazine front cover main image make get represented from my main image like he is a famous 1960’s star who had a good sense of fashion but also loves to be a musician.

Talking about my main image, my star in this is a representation of John Lennon in 1966 holding a guitar in a certain type of suit with sunglasses on, so I used somebody and dressed him as close as I could get to him, and as well made him stand in the same position as he was in the image and do the same pose he had done in the John Lennon photo. And for my Double page spread I used and image of The Beatles all lined up next to each other and all in suits, so I used four of my classmates and got them all in a line and had made their color of the image and lighting exactly how it was in the image which was grey with a kind of dark lighting to it.

When I started with my draft and into the final placement I had only made a few improvement on my front cover which were, the website at the bottom and having a Facebook and twitter on the which made the magazine more realistic like it was a real company, the bar code making it seem like its actually in stores, and the bands at the bottom left letting the know what’s in the magazine. And only one thing I changed in the double page spread was how I put a number at the bottom of the page and as well as a side heading to it.

In conclusion I have used many types of research such as a questionnaire, or look on the internet to search for types of codes and conventions for my specific 1960’s music magazine. And from this researched I have made the magazine front cover and my double page spread as best I can and how I would have liked it to be formed. And I do believe my magazine accomplishes my target audience’s expeditions of a 1960’s music and I as well accomplished my codes and conventions of a 1960’s music magazine.

Double Page Spread Review

Double Page Spread Review

In my double page spread draft, you can see it’s a picture of the Beatles from the internet making it not and original picture, so I changed it using 4 different people (Owen, Boj, Danny, and Marcus) and making them stand in the same position as they Beatles were in the Double Page Spread draft. I also used the same colour on the picture, meaning in the Double Page Spread draft photo the picture of The Beatles is in black and white so I made it in my own to make it black and white in my Double Page Spread, and as well on the Double Page Spread draft I used the same type of lightning on The Beatles image on to my image which has little light but still enough light.

In my Double page spread, I put a page number at the bottom of it so people would know from my Context page where to search for the specific topic that I put it as, while in my Double Page Spread draft I didn’t have a page number so people wouldn’t know where to go if they had saw my context page I made

Double Page Spread Draft 1

This is my Double Page Spread that I have made this a 60's genre magazine. I have used the biggest band in the 60's which of course is the Beatles as my draft for my Double Page spread, and will replace the image with an image I used with other students who had modelled a similar stance of the image on this Double Page Spread for my real Double page spread. I as well had the black and white colors for the representation of the colored TV's in the early 60's which most people remember the 60's of.

This is the analysis of a double page spread about the 60's. I made this to show the features the double page spread have, and as well to give me and idea about a 60's double page spread which is the type of genre i'm using for my magazine.
