Image collage: Inspiration Images you would generally expect to find on a music contents page could include artists on stage, at award shows, lower grade shots of the artists that wouldn’t quite make a front cover, promo shots, CD covers, photos sent in my readers etc.
Image Experiments
This is a medium shot taken from a low angle. It might not be used as the top of his head has been cut off as well as the fact you can’t see the bottom of his body yet in terms of technique, it could work relatively well on the contents page if it was cut of its background.
This is a medium shot, again taken from a low angle. The plain background works to an advantage as it can either be kept or easily removed however the image itself could be looked at as quite pointless therefore it may not be used.
This is a medium long shot taken a neutral angle. It could work well for this type of magazine as it captures the ‘artist’ in action yet the fact his legs have been cut out would be a disadvantage.
Layout Mock-ups (Hand-drawn)
This a mock-up of a possible contents page layout that we have created. We had the idea that the title would run both horizontally across the top and then vertically as well. We decided to also include the logo in the header. For the main body, we want a good balance of images – text. So in each section we placed three page features and one image however this is something that will need looking back over as the amount of images may have to be limited. We also placed a section at the bottom of the page with three separate boxes displaying special features in the magazine- this could be a range of different things.
