My final magazine product.

For my front cover I used the convention layout of a dominate master head in a bold and eye catching font that conveys the genre and style of the magazine, in my case I used an eroded bold font to portray the edgy concept of STROBE.

When stylizing my artist, I focused on portray this image by getting inspiration from current artist in the industry who although embody a indie rock fashion image still appear glamorous and sexy. I created this look by using conventions used across the music magazine genre, messy bed head hair, bold blood-stained red lipstick, and edgy , on trend flesh bearing clothing, this coupled with high fashion bold body language and poses when posing for the photo shoot, for example the cover in with the artist will be biting a bunch of peals with a playful of aggressive facial express symbolizes that magazines combination of a rebellious, challenging concept interfusing with glamour and class, all of which aids in representing the fresh innovative and unique hybrid of genre and life style demography STROBE express'

For my double page spread I followed the layout and concept of a edgy bold, making sure it follow through out – an important convention of a magazine, adding to the visual authenticity. I decided to take up a side of the page with a dominate photograph, conventional of fashion and music magazines alike as it attracts the reader when turning the page. I have created an interview in a colloquial, informal chatty tone to appeal to the teen target audience and the relax and down to earth personality of the artist. Instead of doing a convention music magazine interview layout of question and answer I have decided to incorporate a fashion magazine element in this by presenting the interview in a narrative form including information of the appearance of my artist to portray what she’s all about, it will feature 'access all area' topics will insightful and revealing information and quotes into the lifestyle of a fresh, unique and fashionable young new artist in the currant industry, which will appeal the to the exposed celebrity culture of the teen generation today. 

For my contents page I have used a variety of visual simulating images that together echo the overall ideologies of a fusion of hedonistic, pleasure seeking lifestyle demographic that exuded glamour, but also embodies a combination edgy, rebellious and anit authority feel that will widen the target audience. The layout of my contents page breaks conventions as my putting the writing central to the page it draws the eye in and mirrors that of a fashion magazine, which again widens the demographic for my magazine.

Photoshoot's- explanation of why I choose my predominate magazine shots.

For my photo-shoot i focused on incorporating key aspects on our magazine genre though the use of semeiotics to symbolize the juxtaposition between the rock/indie genre and the glamorous connotations that are held with the funky house scene.

I decided upon using this image for my frount cover as i belive it was one of  the most effective, visually eye capturing and prevoative, conveys the artist playful but also rebellious strong and powerful personality, which would intern be echoed through her music. The use of the peals as a prop symbolise the glamorous and class connoted with funky house, predominately the genre of STROBE, however by have the artist biting them from her scarlet red lips portray the edge and rock, rebellious influence this issue embodies.

I think the monochrome colour contrast with the bright red lips makes the image perfect for the fount cover as it eye catching, interesting and conveys the fusion between glamorous henoistic music with a challenging and rebeillous rock and indie twist appealing to a wider lifestyle demographic.

To make the front cover image more editorial and appropriate for the front cover i edited the black eye make-up to make it darker and stand out, i also used a variety of photoshop technique to make her lips a deeper red to contrast with the black clothing and eye makeup and also to tie in with the black, red and white colour scheme i have used for my front cover.

I used this slightly high angled tilt shot combined with the strong, dominant pose and body language of the body, for example her direct eye content with the camera and her edgy fist to symbolise power. I also conveyed this though styling her in high laced biker boots associated with the rock genre, which although her make-up and revelling top is quite feminine, give her a masculine twist, which echoes the artists ideology of not only wanting to appear glamorous and sexy but not to be viewed in a derogatory way and seen as equal in terms of success in the music industry, appeal to a feminist audience who want to break the boundary of being seen as just sexual objects in the media.

I think the shadows created by the lighting used in our photo shoot aids the the professional appearance of the photo, however when using it in my contents page I edited the image in photo shop, manipulating the image taking away the imperfection's in the shot, for example the light switch in the background.



Here are some other images I have taken to convey to the rebellious and dominate ideologies of the artist and also the fusion of glamour and fashion embodied through out my magazine.
