Photos.

 this is where i wanted my DPS background to be but i decided it was too much of a close shot. Below is the the different shots and positions we tried.

i was thinking of using this image for my double page spread, this is becaus i think it shows the type of person that my artist is well and there is also a nice setting around and the colours match well with my magazine colours.

 i likes this shot better as it showed a wider range of the picture.

i liked this one but the colours were coming out too blue so i edited it beneath.

i was also thinking of this one for my double page spread but am not sure which is best, what do you think?
i like it for the same reasons.

 this is another one of my models and i like this image for my contents

i was going to edit some more images on but it didnt work.

this is going to be my cover image as it looks neat and tidy and give the audience a good look at my artist.

this was a test shot of it being in colour but i prefer black and white

i played about with some photo shop tools to have a look and what music efect i could give my image, but i will not be using this in my magazine.

this is an image for my contents as it is one of my music bands.

i took this photo myself on a tripod and thought that this could also be used in the contents to show a variety of artists.

tell me what you think of my images (:

Text fonts.

I chose this font as i liked the way that it fits together and also think it looks modderen so therefore will merdern up my front cuver if i have more of the retro colours and pictures. The letter E in my name of the magazine will be inside of a plectrum to give it the look and for the name to stand out.

I like this font because I think that it has an old look to it as the edges of the words are quite rigid. haveing a sort of white line through the text gives it a shine. I will also have a plectrum around the letter e.

I chose this font as i decided that the letters would be inside a box and have the letter to be white. These are the sort of shape bozes that i was looking at and they show well how the letters would look.

I like the style of this because i think that has a very tidy look to it and that it would look well on my cover. This is because i will look new a modern and this type of font is quite eye catching.

About my artist

My artists name is going to be Josh Douglas and is going to have brown hair and be quite skinny but fresh looking.  He will be based around the jack Johnson/john Mayer type of look and music but will also has a bit of redhotchillipeppers rock too. He comes from a small old town in Wales called Aberbargoed and has lived there all his life. His has had a normal middle class family life in the country and has a normal upbringing and has been with his girlfriend for 3 years and she also plays an instrument but didn't want anything from it. He has only recently moved to London as he has become more popular so by moving there he can get to do a lot more studio jobs and go up in his career.  He has moved to London to go to college and to break through the mainstream so that he can become nationally known instead of just locally known. He is now at a specialist music university hoping to improve and make a career fully out of his music. He started playing the acoustic guitar when he was only 5 years old and has played it ever since and has just turned 18. Josh's type of music is very different as it is widespread. It goes from fast acoustic rock to a more slow tone of it being chill so then it can cover a wide audience. He said that his newest inspiration was Ed Sheeran but not for his music (even though he likes it) but for how he has got his music to be well known and hasn't changed the way he looks to try and fit into today's style and looks of music artists.
He was heard by from the Internet as he started a post on face book when he was 12 and lots of his friends and family persuaded him to put it on you tube for more people to here about. The word got spread round and his videos got lots of views and he a call up from A and R who recommended him to music companies. This is when the London music college asked him to apply when he was 16 and it has gone from there onwards.

Some of his inspirations are:

• Newton Faulkner
• John Mayer
• Jack Johnson
• Paolo Nutini
• Ed Sheeran
• Charlie Simpson

My artists personality:
He is quite shy at first but is getting better with having to meet lots of new people so is becoming more confident and is ready to express his music widely.
