The document summarizes the process of creating images and drafts for a music magazine cover and contents page. It describes using a Sony camera to take initial photos, then editing them in a photo editor to adjust lighting, contrast and focus. One photo was selected for the draft cover, while others may be used inside. Several draft covers were made before selecting a final image of a screaming artist for the cover. Photos were also selected for the contents page and double-page artist spread.

1. To take my practice images I used a Sony DSC-W320, 14.1
megapixel shown below. I then edited the images using
‘picture editor’ I used contrast, highlights and shadows to make
the images stand out and brighter. So that it can be easer to
put any colour I would like for my cover lines and master head.
Shown below are pictures of the camera I used, to take these
pictures of the camera I used my Sony Ericson mobile phone
cameras.

2. Some images I took for my music magazine
draft
From these images I could only use one of the
images as my front cover as the other ones
were not focused enough, for example her
face and eyes were not focused enough to use
as the front cover. Therefore I may use one of
these images on my contents page.

3. My first draft
of a magazine
cover on ‘fire
works’ I firstly
got an image
of the
barcode on
Google, I
thought
having one in
colour would
be different
to just having
a black and
white one. I
then made
my cover
lines the
same colour. I
didn’t like this
because the
artist was not
facing the
camera.

4. Second round final image, for my music magazine cover.
For these images I liked the lighting
on them, also the colours show very
well. For these images I used ‘photo
editor’ for lighting and making the
background darker so that the cover
lines and master heads show up
clearly also the images are focused.
Also the image on the left relates to
my master head ‘Echo’ well as it looks
like my artist is screaming.

5. For my double page spread for my main artist.

6. I merged the colour
and the black and
white image in
together, as I liked
both of them I
decided to add some
colour into the black
and white image, also
the Mc Donald's
packaging colours are
bright – this image is
representing the artist
to still do normal
things even if she is
famous.

7. The making of my front cover
To improve I have to fill
out the black spaces.
To do this I need to do
something with my
title ‘Echo’ then I have
to add more images
which will show what
will be on the contents
page.

8. This NME music magazine of the solo artist Florence
Machine really stands out, from the image being very
focused as she looking into the camera, to the main
colours being red, white and black.

9. For my contents page, images I may use

10. For inspiration to the creation to my contents
page, I have looked at the NME contents page
magazine and I would like it to have a newspaper
look to my Echo music magazine , as I want it to
look different to most music magazines, also
adding a modern look to newspapers. Also the
layout is clear.

11. The making of the contents page
To create my contents page I used
Microsoft publisher. I think the
layout I want to go for is going to
apply to teens and young adults.

12. The making of my double page spread
