Paradox

Today we formatted our groups and had to come up with a suitable name, image, price and gender for a magazine. We contemplated in whose doing what. For the image we decided that we were all going to be in the front cover and the title was going to be paradox. We came to a decision that the image was going to have Selma on the front and Henock, Eni and Emre at the back. The gender that the magazine applies to is both male and females. To grab the readers attention we decided to offer them into a free cd.

Furthermore the age of the readers we are trying to appeal to is 16- 25. The Magazine will also offer exclusive inside messages from famous rockstars such as Nickleback, Jonas brothers and The Artic Monkeys.

In the second part of the lesson tried out our photoshop skills in the computer lab which related to the skills we need to develop our ma In the magazine. In the 30 minute tutorial that we had I learnt how to manipulate images from one photo to the other. Also we created backgrounds that fitted the type of photo we had.

Paradox Henok's and co's magazine

today i have worked with my group to create a new magazine called paradox. our magazine is a combination of hip-hop and rock genre and culture. we decided to do this fusion of the two different genre to stand out and be unique. the first adition will have a front cover with my groups imaginary band called purple pillz. the adition will show mainly the past collaborations of the two genre's like the jay-z and linkin park collaboration album.

Paradox

In today's lesson we planned out how our music magazines were going to turn out...

for this we had to work in groups of 4 (Selma, Eni and Hennock). We had to think of a genre for our music magazine. We finally decided on rock/hiphop. Afterwards, we found out that we were going to be on the front cover of the magazine. So we had to make a band for ourselves. So we decided to call ourselves "Purple Pills" and our magazine was going to be called "Paradox". Then we decided that our target audience should be 16-25 year olds, for both male and female, and rock/hiphop fans and that it should be priced at £2.49. It will have a free mix CD for a give away.

After, we moved into the computer room to learn how to use photoshop. We discovered how images can be manipulated and how we can design the typography of the word "Purple Pills".

Analysis - HENOK ISAK

we analyzed a front cover of "Hip-Hop Collection" magazine. we found that the picture had been photoshopped as it seems they are standing on a street corner also their poses illustrates their confidence. the direct eye contact also expresses the rap artists confidence. the strapline 'UK stand tall" is shown in their poses.

HIp Hop magazine + rock magazine

we analysed a Hip Hop magazine which included famous artists from the English Hip Hop scene.

They posed for their images in a type of serious way to appeal to their audiences which in my mind wasn't very appealing as it made them seem big headed. We looked at the types of colors and yellow is an unisex type of color which appeals to both sex. On the Other hand the way in which the posers posed in the image showed that the magazine was aimed at males. The reason behind this is because the artists posed in a kind of laid back, confident way with clothes on whilst if it was appealing to a female it could have the laid back and confident stand but probably showing more body parts. Also to sell more it offers the reader two free cd's with the best of homegrown talent.
