vibe feature article reaserch

This is a feature article of another hip hop magazine vibe magazine who have focused more on the image of the artist rather than the the text. This works because you immediatly know who the artist is because you recognise his image which will intrege the  reader to read the article because of the image. 

contents analysis reaserch

This is a contents page for the vibe magazine which highlights the artist more than the text like the cover page did. The logo is behind the artist to represent the magazine but because it is behind it keeps the focus on the artist.The artist  is a darker shade of grey and black mix to make the artist stand out more on the lighter grey background. The contents are smaller but are still clear because because it is black text on the grey background and it is a fancy font so makes it stand out more and is more attractive to read. The contents title is very large and in black colour so it stands out more so people know what there about to read.

This is my feature article whith two images so i have the minimum requirement of four images throughout my magazine. The colours and theme have been continued here to go along with the colours on my front cover and contents page. The artist is the same as the artists on the other pages because the feature article is about him.


This is my contents page but at the last minute i decided to chande the latout of the contents page to make it look more clear and profestional. The imag
e and graphite are there to represent
a dark and gangster image which hip hop artists have.
This is my magazine front cover and like in the other magazine covers i have reaserched it is very simple and the emphasise is on the artist rather than anything else. i kept to a simple colour scheme red, yellow,black and white which is continued throughout the magazine

main produce continued

I am a few weeks into the project and i have taken my pictures and have edited them. My pictures are on all three of my pages and i am just sorting out the final details of my produce e.g were everything will be and color before i print it out to be evaluated. My double page spread is now almost complete it has the picture and interview on it so the placement of everything is now just what needs sorting. I have changed the name of my artist to Truth and have edited the layout of the magazine compared to my preliminary tasks because it did not look as good as i thought it would

start of final product

This past week i have started my final project for my magazine firstly i started my front cover which i kept very close to the preliminary design with only one major alteration the image covers the right side of the page so there is only text on the left of the cover and in the title at the top. I have not finished my front cover because i have not taken my pictures for it so i moved onto my contents page which is very different from my preliminary design of the contents page because i decided to only use one image and not surrounded the text with images but like my front cover i have not taken the pictures so i could not complete it. I then made a start on my double page feature article, i wrote out my article first on word then made adjustments to it i have almost finished it but i don't have the pictures so i can't complete it. However i plan to take the photo today so i will be able to upload the images onto the magazine by the 3rd of April.
