LO4 P5: Post-production techniques

Изображение
Design Techniques For the designs of the pages, having things somewhat scattered and with an old look brings out the feel of what the metal genre tries to talk about. Having a sense of enjoyment despite the current condition is what makes the magazine stand out of the rest. Rather than being neat and tidy it instead goes its own way while still being readable. Strengths The strengths from this project would be the designing and coloring. The colors and the design makes a good combination of demonstrating and explaining what the magazine will be about and what genre it is. Just by looking at the contents page you can already tell that something dark and intense will be seen in the next few pages it being in image or text format. The consistency of the Font makes it for a more distinguished brand image, and makes it stand out amongst the other magazines and newspapers. For a first time making a magazine, I think it turned out very well. Going for a genre that I know more about was a good...

LO3: P4 Magazine

Contact Sheet In the image above is the contact sheet of all the images that i've made and which i would use. The changes that i've made is that instead of actually taking the photos in Medium-Shot, I instead made them a Medium-Long Shot so that later on if i have to zoom out, I don't encounter the issue of the image being small. Article Draft The following article will be used for the double page spread The slayer has gone back to hell on a rampage slaying every demon in sight. The reason for it is still unknown but we are still thankful for him being our guardian. Experts say that the reason behind it might be because of what happened to his pet bunny a couple years back. In december 1997 doom made his first appearance in the army and fought against the breach of demons comming from hell. While in the fight between the humans and demons one of the demons snuck past by and killed dooms one and only pet Daisy. For any person a loss of a loved one can make a huge impact on t...

Production Schedules Gantt Chart Production Schedule Forms Model Release Form Location Recce Risk Assessment Photoshoot Plans I will be as the model in the magazine and will be making the photos at home. As for props i'll be using a dark hoodie and a bat so simbolise strength and fear. The only equipment that would be required is a tripod and a camera to be able to take the photos while being steady. The types of angles would consist of mostly Medium Shots with one of them being Long Shot. Fonts Graphics The type of font will be the Doom font with the colours consisting of brigth red and silver grey. Red would be used for lighting effect and blood, while the silver grey would be used for letters and metal which can also be seen in the masthead design.

Sample images of the style i'm aiming for These are the type of masthead designs and front cover I'm trying to aim for. In metal magazines, they put a lot of detail into the masthead or put a lot of detail on the person that will be on the front cover. The details will go from having cracks and scratches on the masthead to being full on 3D with fancy signs on it. My masthead will be 3D and have a lot of detail on it. For one detail there will be a sword piercing through the letter A being a reference to a game that the music artist worked in. Masthead Designing Process Before designing the Magazine, I have first made a mock-up of how I would see the design. In the mock-up, everything is susseptable to change and it can be seen with the different screenshots. Here are the base ideas I have for making the design of the masthead: The aim for the looks of the magazine is to look dark and menacing, so the choice of colors will be mostly dark and branch more towards the red color. Th...

LO1 P1: Proposal

Изображение
Introduction I have been tasked to make a magazine and write down the information of the magazine work. For this document i'll be writing everything about the contents of the magazine, where it will be distributed and other information. Proposal The magazine itself is a combination of the game Doom and the metal music genre. The purpose of the magazine is to bring Doom fans more into the metal music genre and metal fans into the game Doom. For this magazine i will need to create a front cover, contents page and a double page spread. For all of the pages i will include myself for the photos.  The target audience that i'm aiming for is going to be from 14-26 year olds. The reason for me aiming for such a young age is because around that age teenagers start to expand their taste in music and look into different genres, on their way they encounter these two genres which are rock and metal. The magazine is also a combination of the game Doom and the metal music genre. The combinatio...
