I have used a kind of broken font to show the rock side of the magazine. It represents that the music is loud and broken. this challenges the fonts of indie rock magazines like Q who use bolder more monochrome fonts to appeal to my audience. this masthead was inspired by Kerrang! magazine. an exclamation mark is also used just like Kerrang! in order to add to the statement of the magazine.
I kept the Graphology and Layout simple and based on other magazines in order to portray a style similar to currently used indie rock magazines such as Kerrang!, Q and NME in order to portray the information in a professional way. This would maintain the attention on the artists and features in the magazine. I maintained the same colour schemes throughout the magazine to make it consistent like other magazines, but challenged these things by using a black background on the cover and contents to explore a darker side.
I dressed my model in an outfit that represented the aspects of both rock and indie. the outfit itself was more rock based with a leather jacket and dark jeans, whereas the hair was more indie themed, with a boho themed plait on the underside of her hair that was visible in the photos. Boho is often associated with indie music.
I stuck to natural poses and angles for my model following feedback that my photos were awkward and indie rock kind of poses are natural anyway.

I based my magazine on a mixture of magazines, Kerrang!, Q and NME in order to show elements of indie and rock magazines.
The colour scheme is the typical for an indie rock magazine, black, red and white.
The title 'Breakout' could also represent the breakaway from the norm that Indie rock bands perhaps are attempting to do? The idea that they want to be something different, and this would then appeal to your target audience?
ReplyDeleteBe more specific in terms of the terminology you are using in your response - specific shot type used, F model / Z model layout, etc.
I agree with Ms Sizer's advice. you need to offer slightly more detail on all points raised.
