Double Page Spread Analysis



As you can see i have analysed a MixMag double page spread, i have also annotated it to help me create my own double page spread and adhere to MixMag's style. I will also take into consideration the colours and picture styles they have used to help create my own House/Electro music magazine.

MixMag Contents Page Analysis



As i will be using 'MixMag' magazine to take reference for my magazine from, i have decided to annotate the contents page of the MixMag magazine. All the MixMag contents pages have roughly the same layout and design so this can adhere to the rest of the issues. By annotating the page it helps me find out what i need to do on my own contents page and make to make it look more professional and adhere to the style of this genre.

edited front cover main image

Here is an image i edited for my front cover, i decided to change the Hue and Saturation to make the image stand out more. I then plan to crop the image out and put it into a Festival scene to adhere to the topic of my mag.

Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child ft. John Martin (+playlist)



Through watching the Swedish House Mafia music video 'Dont you worry child', it has inspired me to do my own music magazine front cover. The SHM music video is very simplistic but yet extremely powerful, the video shows the three DJs from their point of view overlooking a festival looking crowd. 
The video also use allot of black and white filters giving a simplistic view but through the music used it portrays this, this is what i want to use on my front cover, a DJ or DJs from their point of view being highlighted from the rest of the image with a festival background so the many people who buy the magazine can relate to a festival scene.

front cover images



Here are some photos i had taken that i could use  for my own music magazine, i have used a green screen so i can edit my pictures into another scene such as a festival. 

I plan to use photoshop to edit the green screen out and put the image into a festival setting.
