Final Products (plus a small start on Evaluation)


Here is my video commentary, you can find a screenshot summary of this video below
I have made a start on evaluation comparing my products with the texts that inspired them
I will compare them with other texts later in the evaluation stage



Final Cover

this is my final cover (left) along with the Kerrang cover (right) that I used for inspiration
Changes:
  • Stamp-like sale line; like Kerrangs
  • added Bar code; similar placement to Kerrangs
  • Right aligned text for right hand side sale lines; like Kerrangs left aligned sell lines
  • General tidy up (e.g. making the sale lined darker so they are readable)





This is my contents page (top) along with the Kerrang contents (bottom) I used for inspiration
Changes:
  • Added Classmate to fit convention of multiple people on a contents, he has a similar serious look to Kyle.
  • changed page listings to fit Classmate
  • changed 'contents issue 1' to white.



this is my heavily altered double page spread (top) with the NME double page spread ( Bottom) that I used
for layout inspiration
Changes:
  • two black boxes on the right page next to each other; like the white and black areas on NMEs right page
  • Black box in the corner; like the blue box in the same position in NME
  • Pictures indented into text; like NME does, but my images have been placed differently for originality.
  • similar heading and picture placement

New Contact sheet for Contents Page

Due to feedback from my rough contents page, I have taken a few photos of a classmate (named Karl) I will use one of them in my contents page so it fits more to the convention of having multiple people on the contents page

as you can see, Karl shares similar qualities to kyle in that he has a very grungy, dark and serious look, making him a fitting candidate

Rough Production Pieces

Rough Versions of my Product
This is the rough cut versions of each part of my product, I shall create my final pieces by editing these in ways such as filling space or changing the layout entirely.

Rough Cover Idea for Production


This picture was an idea for my front cover which I had intended to prepare for the rough work hand in on the 4th-7th of march, the editting on the photo however was too obvious ( the hair looks like a perfect 'dome'), making this idea obsolete as it looked very odd. I have fixed this in another idea which I will hand in as my rough version instead.
