Product Style Profile

Product Style Profile

In this post I will look at the importance of sketches and planning in the decision making process of creating a magazine. I will also try to use sketches to influence my stylistic decisions. Moreover, I will undertake a creative task in which I start the decision of making process in terms of style of my magazine. 

Feedback

"Your designs show how many ideas you had at the start of this project"

"Those designs show that you tried multiple ideas and by asking others you have decided which one you will use for your final magazine cover".

Plenary

This green screen will definitely be used in my final product as the background for the magazine cover. Ideally, its colour will be changed to brown or cream.

My mood board

• I chose the first brief and I have to create a front cover and a double page spread article for an entertainment music magazine aimed at an audience of 14 – 18 year olds. My idea is to make magazine front cover and a double spread article that is base on showing people the best music to listen to while doing their hobbies. Also this magazine will be based on music such as rock, rap and dubstep.
• In this task I'll explore different types of images, fonts and colours to use in my magazine cover and double spread article.  I shall be looking at different connotations and how these affect the way my target audience might view my product.  By creating this mood board I will also be exploring creative ways of how to present my work.

TASK 5 - When you finish the mood boards you need analyse them answering the following questions:

• How did they helped you define content for your product?

My mood board helped me by showing me more inside details about the rap genre and why people enjoy listening to it.

• What will be your overall colour scheme of your production?

It will either be based on warm tones such as orange and red or a white and black scheme with hints of vibrant colours such as turquois or cyan.

• What kind of images/shots would you use in your production?

A mix of mid and close up shots with a few long shots.

• What kind of fonts would you use in your production?

A modern/ hipster font.

• What kind of mise-en-scene would you use in your production?

Props such as microphones and lights that connote celebrities and their intentions.

• What kind of intertextuality would you use in your production?

I will try to make references to celebrities by using pictures of the clothes that they wear and things that people see them having most of the time.  

• Which media theory(ies) are you likely to use in your production?

Female gaze by Gamman and Marshment where attractive men are used to attract women in reading the magazine.
