Contacting my magazine model

I contacted my model for my music magazine through Facebook. This is because i could get in contact with them at any time and it was quick and easy. Also, i could sent them photographs from the shoot through this method.

Inspiration for music magazine website- Mojo magazine

Mojo Magazine web page...

Mojo magazine web page is very similar to 'Vibe magazine's' web page. This is because it uses similar colour schemes and font styles. Also, the layout is similar. However, the music theme style is different and it focuses on more older music styles with an older audience genre taste. On the other hand, it does include some recent music. Therefore, there isn't a fixed theme for this magazine. 

The black and white theme is inspiring and unique. I like it because it focuses on a traditional and experimental theme. The black and white idea also matches the text colour and backgrounds, linking all areas of the web page together.

The font style is fascinating in this magazine web page and the vibrancy levels are high, which makes the text bold. I plan to take this idea and use it in my magazine web page, as it will attract and persuade my audience genre to read the magazine page because it's exciting and creates a positive mood.

Inspiration for music magazine website-Vibe magazine

Vibe music magazines web page...

I really like the Navigation bar on this website because it's bold, which allows it to stand out and capture the audiences attention. Plus, the contrast is a main focus allowing small font style and text to stand out as well. 

I intend to use vibe's web page as inspiration in creating my music magazine web page, as it relates strongly to the style of my music magazine. My magazine is an 'urban' themed style of music and so is vibe, so the 2 connect and are similar.

Devotion magazine website

I have created a website for my music magazine 'Devotion', using photoshop.This is in order to help me achieve a positive grade towards my magazine planning and development. Additionally, i have used features on my magazine page, which apply to official magazine web pages.

To begin with, i have created a black and white colour scheme so that it shows a traditional theme. Although, the quality of the images is increased using the black and white filter. In this case, i have used this idea to make my images show quality and appeal to my audience. Therefore, it also creates a modern theme as well.

The title is bold and the colour of the 'grey background' and the white 'Devotion' font contrasts well, making it stand out and be a main focus. Furthermore, i have used a font that is interesting and suits the 'urban' style of my music magazine. next to the main title/ heading, i have decided to include a jpeg image of my music magazine front cover. This feature is an advertisement and persuades my target audience who look at the web page to read the latest magazine from 'Devotion'.

The drop down list is a feature which is used on nearly every magazine website, such as 'Vibe magazine', 'Q magazine and more. The purpose of this is to navigate particular areas of the music magazine using this list and making it easy for the audience to look at particular areas of the website.

Below is an example of the drop down list which i took from 'Vibe magazine's' website.

Also, i took the lined background affect from vibe's website because it is unusual and allows your text to stand out.

I placed the text, ' Music' with an ellipses and 'what's new' on this background as a subheading. Therefore, it will attract my audience into reading it and be a persuasive technique.

I have included phrases and quotes, such as '2016' which show the audience that the website has recently been updated and there is new gossip.

The navigation arrows are so the audience can flick through different images. These are the arrows at either side of the main image...

The images i used are of celebrites, again in a black and white affect theme. However, i used an image from my music magazine photoshoot at Sunderland university, as a main image. This is noticeable because it is larger than the other images used on the web page. Below is the original and edited main image.
