Background image ideas

These were two ideas that im considering for my front page. i like the first one as its got colour and it stands out but i think it would better if i was to cut my image out. however if i do this it will have to cover more the front page which could become an issue.

Market Research

I will aim my questions at a target audience of 18-30 as this is the general age that tend to listen to trance music. It would be pointless me asking old aged people as they couldn'nt relate to this genre, and would therefore be a waste of time. I am going to present my questions on a sheet which i will give to out, i want the questions to be answered onnominously so that the answers are honest, and hopefully constructive. This way i can get more realistic feedback.

Image ideas

In this image i like the way a vinly disc has been used to capture and centre the attention to the models face. i think this is very creative yet simple. I also like the way the image has been made brighter in the middle to highlight his face.

This image really appealed to me. the way the face is repeated again makes it look really effective and the style of the image is very modern.

I like the design of this magazine and how its been layed out. its very simple yet effective. The font used for the writing looks and suits the style of the magazine as the red hair is quite funky so the font fits in.

The black and white effect makes this image look very professional. The leg hanging over the bath, with her clothes and shoes on obviously highlights the fact that she is not actually in the bath... in which case shes posing. I like the way its very un-realistic.

I really liked this image when i first saw it. It caught my eye as it is a close up of her face. the eye makeup and effect on the eyes really stood out to me and i think it looks amazing. The way her hair curls round her face also draw more attention to her face and structure. The pattern on her head also adds to that unique appeal that the photographer was going for.

I think this is a very creative image and i like the way two images have been combined into one. i wouldn't use this idea as my front cover but the effects used... e.g. the brightness and contrast appealed to me.

I love the way a shadow has been included in the background, i think this is really effective. The top picture shows him as a very normal average person but then the shadow explains him more detail. i think this is clever and works really well. i also like the layout of the page and the colours used. its a simple design however it appeals to the audience as it is creative.

This image works really well as one image is blurred into another which makes the picture become quite misterious. The black and white effect also adds more emphasis to the picture and higglights key features in the picture, in this case the women. i liked this idea and am considering using a similar idea as one of my images.

I liked the creativity behind this picture. its very unique and the paintings on her face add that extra effectivness. i also like the way her hair is wet as if shes not got ready, however her face has been painted. it contrasts two looks which makes the picture simple and unrealistic.

This is one of my favourite pictures and i designed my front cover image to be similar to this. its very natural and i like the way her body has been oiled in some sort of way so its looks shiny. this makes it look very effective. i also like the tattoo she has, although it is covered it adds extra detail to the picture. the slinky material she is wearin rnd her neck enables the picture to be less revealing and more professional.

coursework feedback

Title 'Hands up'

The class said this could be classed as more clubbing than trance, but as my magazine is based on a clubbers guide, and it is only a trance edition i feel happy with my title still.



Potential problems

Its a very niche market and to attract my specific target audience i will need to make the magazine look appealing and exciting. Also being able to achieve a good sell as most trance magazines are online. I feel i could achieve this aslong as i use a lot of colour and plan it well.
