Overall Photo shoot ideas:

Front cover (Emily)

• Location/background: Railings, yellow + black warning tape; Laying on a dark red blanket; Plain white/grey wall; In a forest, standing up against trees etc.


• Props + costumes: Dressed in dark clothing (possibly a leather jacket), wearing bright red lipstick. Possible props - black and white electric guitar, amp, warning tape, headphones.


• Lighting: The photos should be taken in the evening, when the sun is going down - I want the images to have a dark, dangerous feel. However, it can't be too dark as I don't want the quality of the photograph to suffer.

Contents Page (several images - 1 or 2 of Emily, 1 of Michelle, 1 of a band...)

Images of Emily will be similar to the cover image. The image of Michelle will be taken either in my house or in my garden. She will be dressed in a lady bird outfit, using additional props such as a speaker, drum kit and headphones. The image of a band (probably consisting of 3 boys) will be taken either at school, at my house or in a forest. They will be wearing dark colours - blue, black and grey mainly. Props include a drum kit and/or electric guitar.

Double Page Spread (Emily)

For the double page spread I will be using Emily, who will be modelling as an artist who has recently returned to the business after a year in rehab. These images will again be similar to the main cover image. I am also planning to take some using my Dad's red classic car as a prop. She will probably be wearing a different outfit in these images.

Double Page Spread Design #3

For my final design I have made the page more about image than text. The image covers the whole of the page, with the title and main text layered on top. There is little text which is likely to appeal to the younger members of my target audience, as having a vast amount of text on the page can sometimes look boring. Also, young people often have a lot going on and may only want something that is a quick read. There are 2 additional images in the bottom left corner that I have added to just make the page look busier and a bit more fun.

Double Page Spread Design #2

This design contains the most text and looks more jam-packed in comparison to the previous design. The title stretches across the top of the page and is clearly separated from the rest of the page, so that it stands out to the reader. I have included a few lines underneath the title, before the main text starts, that can be used to add in a snappy caption or brief summary. The main image is very large and occupies much of the right-hand side of the double page. I also added an additional image in the bottom left corner, to reduce the amount of text and make the page look more interesting.

Double Page Spread Design #1

This is my first double page spread design. It is based around the NME and Q magazine double page spreads that i analysed. The image takes up the whole right side of the page, whilst the title, followed by the main text occupies the left side. I think that this makes the page look very neat and sophisticated which may not appeal to the younger members of my target audience.

Contents Page Design #3

This is my final contents design and probably my favourite. I based this design on the KERRANG contents page that I analysed. The title 'contents' is quite small and positioned on the right-hand side. It is surrounded by a small border and like design number 2, it has the appearance of a tab, again highlighting the importance of the page. I have divided the page in half horizontally using a line along with a small version of the magazine title (QUAKE - as seen on the front cover), so that the pages link, helping the magazine to flow throughout. Having the pages listed all in one place, under relevant headings, makes the page clear and easy to use.

Contents Page Design #2

My second design has a much more random arrangement than the first. The title reads 'this week' instead of 'contents' and is very small. I think that using the heading 'this week' makes the magazine seem more up-to-date and current, which will appeal to the target audience. It is positioned and outlined as though it is a tab, making the page look important. The text runs down either side of the page, with the images in the centre, overlapping with the columns in places. This makes the images stand out, grabbing the reader's interest.

Contents Page Design #1

This is my first contents page design. I have chosen to neatly divide the page into sections, the list of pages contained in a single column running down the left-hand side, making it easier for the reader to navigate from. The title, 'contents', spreads across the full width of the page and is in bold lettering to continue the loud theme of the magazine. I also chose to use an ellipsis to link the title to the rest of the page in the hope of creating a sense of flow. This design contains several images of different sizes, arranged randomly on the right, so that the page looks interesting and doesn't look too neat. This should help the page to appeal to my target audience.
