Magazine inspiration

This helped me realise what alternative magazines do already exist and how they are presented to there audience. This helped me understand what parts of a magazine I do and don't like and what I would and wouldn't include for magazine to help it to be appealing to customers.

Facial Expression

This helped me understand what types of facial expressions are popular with men and women in magazines. This helped me pick what facial expression I'd like my model to have which is seductive and comical.

Mast Head mood board

This helped me know what types of mast heads are out there and it also helped me figured out what type of mast head that I want which is either big and bold font to help it stand out and as alternative music is big and bold  or a font that represents alternative music such as a horror font as alternative music is pretty different like horror is and a lot of people who like alternative music like the genre horror so it would fit with my audience as well.

Fonts mood board.

This mood board helped me understand what fonts are used in magazines and what possible fonts I could use for my magazine. This helps with my final design ideas as it showed me what fonts are available what fonts look good in magazines it also helped me decide that I want a bold font that will help it stand out to readers. 

Costume, Hair and Make up mood board.

This helped me find out what clothing, hairstyles and make up represent alternative music and how I would present my model so that she looks like an alternative music artist such as using dark clothing and dark make up with a messed up hair style. 

Colour schemes mood board.

This helped me figure out what colours look good in a magazine and how I would present these colours for a magazine. For my final magazine it help me decide that I will be using dark colours for the majority of the magazine but also use bright colours to help certain things stand out such as a title or a quote. 

Language and Register

This helped me understand what alternative music magazines use language and register for and where they use it. This will help my final product as I know where and how to use language such as using bright colours to help my product stand out from the competitors and how to draw people in using titles and images.
