Production Log Day 2 -

I started my music magazine research, i started deconstructing a music magazine featuring Katy Perry, who is a well- known singer around the globe, i made annotations around the magazine marking where everything is and why it's there E.g Masthead - Indicates the reader what material they are reading, and hints what the magazine will be about.

Magazine Annotations

Our   first preliminary task 

was to create a front cover and a contents page for Haydon school's magazine.

Production Log 1

Production log 1 - - I have started my preliminary task and I have taken various shots of the school and certain people in group have modeled for me, in the end I ultimately chose a picture with Tasmin and Isha laughing in front of the office, it shows that Haydon is a warm place and it connotes friendliness and happiness, I chose this picture in question for my contents page. 

I chose a picture of friends on the steps near St. Mary’s as a front cover picture, simply because it showed cultural diversity and it was aesthetically pleasing. I used photo-shop to adjust the pictures, i adjusted the contrast and stature, i cropped the ends of the pictures as i wanted the picture look symmetrical.

 I used white and as the typography colour for the front cover. The masthead is slanted and in italics, i wanted to give off a classy and sophisticated look. However the buzz words are in  bold and quite masculine compared to the masthead as i wanted to make the  buzz words to look important and stick out. 

I used a gold border so that Haydon also looked quite powerful and intimidating, Gold connotes royalty, this could reinforce the message of "If you come to Haydon  you will strive high and be number one". 

The contents page is quite simple, it is also in white, i chose to write in white as it goes well with thing. There is also a border for the contents page, as i wanted it to look professionally done.
