Moodboard One

This Moodboard gives the idea of the kind of colour schemes and

dynamics I will use for my own Magazine

Cover, Contents Page and Double Page

Spread.

I want to use colours that really stand out

and look aesthetically pleasing to the eye and

I like the idea of incorporating ‘Cute

Things’ and Alternative styles into my

magazine as well as things that may be

considered childish and young such a Lollipops, Bubblegum and plastic

jewellery.

Moodboard Two

This Moodboard shows the kind of Magazine House

Style that I want for my own Magazine, Contents Page and

Double page spread.

As can be seen, I want an alternative

style with eye-catching fonts and graphics. I would

also like my magazine to portray

a style which is unusual and of a specialist genre.

Moodboard ThreeThis Moodboard gives

examples of the kinds of Photos and Photo shoots I

want in my Magazine Cover, Contents Page and

Double Page Spread.

As can be seen, I favour the very simple but

colourful style that these photos incorporate.

I think the use of simple but bright colours creates a ‘funky’ and alternative style which is what I am

going for.

For my own photo shoot, I intend to have a

professional looking, studio shoot to keep with the stylish fashion of my magazine, also plan to

use colour schemes such as these ones and for it to

be generally ‘couture’ fashion.

This is my first sketch. The main article and image shall be an a fictional band called ‘The Insatiable Cupcakes’ (Name changed after sketch hence why they’re called ‘Sunshine

Domain’). I am trying to keep the house style alternative and youthful with the use of colour and font. I want the cover to

be very simple, much like ‘Love’ Magazine.

I am also using the names of very unusual ‘non-mainstream’

bands to keep with the alternative house style.

The second sketch design is a little more dynamic and with a

different use of colour. This time, I have the main image

models posing behind a poster. I did this because

many magazine covers would not have this kind of posing

on their covers and this shows that my magazine is very

different.Once again, I have gone with

the same cover lines and main images to keep with the

alternative, simple house style.

The third sketch is very different to the otherswith the layout of the

main image and articles. I tried placing the main image very

low down on the cover as it’s visually different

and interesting and would catch the eye. I also added a skyline to add some more pulls and articles, keeping once more with the

same fonts and articles to maintain the

house style.
