Research & Planning: Magazine Image Research (Jodie)


While filming the music video we took various stills of the band in all the locations we visited, this enabled us to have a great deal of choice when designing our digipak and magazine advert. 


                             

We attempted to use the same image from the digipak onto our magazine but due to it being a close up landscape shot, we could not crop it in order for it to be the standard image size of a magazine. As seen in the examples below, all of them are portrait in order to ensure they fit in the magazine; also, they have a small colour scheme and contain vibrant colours. 

Following gold/black/white theme, strong bold colours on a black background.
Includes reviews, praising the album. The focus is on Ellie's picture and face, drawing all attention to her. 

Focus is on the name of the band, selling their name in white strip, in contrast to the dark background colour.
The cover follows a faded colour look, and it doesn't include a picture of the actual album. 

A simple, old fashion design, using the same text throughout the logo.
Individual pictures of the band, making all the focus on them, their setting reflects their genre of indie rock. 

MAGAZINE CHOSEN IMAGE



Why we chose this image?

- Can be cropped to become portrait
- Sun is shining on their faces (natural spotlight)
- The band are pulling natural faces, it doesn't look staged
- The setting of outside reflects our music video
- Vibrant colours (background)
