Production Log 13

I have now started to come up with some ideas for the magazine in more detail such as what I would like as cover lines and as my double page spread. I have made a mock up magazine to see how I could place these cover lines as well as a mock interview for my double page spread. Im now starting to put my whole magazine together after creating drafts and mocks of ideas that I want to use for my final finished magazine.

Production Log 12







 
While browsing on the internet at magazines. I came across this one by NME. I love the use of the colour scheme as even though it uses orange. It is very bland and basic. It is also a special edition cover, so you would expect it to be quite bold and significant. This is in its own way because of its simplicity whilst being able to still look professional and capture the eye of a reader. Having an animal in as a prop is also an idea that I really like, but wouldn't use in my own designs as I think this would be difficult to master. Overall I really like the look of this magazine, including the font in the very top right hand corner that states " Introducing the new NME"  I also like the blue NME front cover because i have used a similar guitar as a prop for my photoshoot. Therefore I could use a similar idea of matching the main masthead colour to the colour of the guitar.

Production Log 11

Over the past week or so, I have come up with some name designs for my masthead of my magazine. They're quite dramatic and I think they fit very well with the name being "Rampage" as they look chaotic and stand out a lot. However I have slightly started to chnge the designs after coming up with some more basic ones recently that I will upload shortly. I want to start finalising what I want my masthead to be now that I have more of a clear idea of what I want and I know more about what colour scheme I want to use.

So now I know a bit more about what I want my masthead to be, I decided to start looking at some colour schemes to go with this. I know for definate that I do not want to use more than three colours and that black and white are most likely definately going to be used in my colour scheme. At the moment I am most drawn to using orange as the main colour for my magazine, but after looking at some other colour schemes im not sure if I prefer some others. But I plan to mess around with some colours for my masthead and see what I like the most.
