Drafts after the feedback

Expanding on the feedback

After the feedback I received, one of the comments was "maybe change the name" of the magazine. I have chose to go ahead with this idea. When doing research on possible names I came across a YaHoo answer that I quite liked.

MBS is really catchy and stands out, This takes inspiration from NME.

Another name that i also like is Octave meaning a series of eight notes occupying the interval between ( and including) two notes, one having twice of half the frequency of vibration of the other.

As a final decision i have chose to use Octave as my final magazine name. This is because it is unique and not using another magazines idea.

Another comment i was recieved "image needs work- facing forwards would be better" After doing some research i found magazines that used Lana Del Rey body position to the side.

• I think my cover uses a simplistic and minimalistic effect, but yet still draws in an audience. The bright block of colour advertises the band and draws the readers attention to it. 
• Colours work. 

EBI

• I need to consider an article instead of Q+A as i feel more confident doing this. 
• My contents image needs to be moved around or resized. I should also consider another photo.
• I need to include page numbers.

Magazine Cover Inspiration

Once i had created the mood board of magazine covers, i felt i wasn't inspired enough, so i continued to look for magazine covers that inspired me. I then found the magazine Loud and Quiet. I found the layout of the cover really interesting and different. I came to a conclusion i wanted to mimic the style of this magazine but in my own way, as it is simple yet effective. This magazine suits my Indie genre.

Test Shots

After doing my test shoot, i chose the photos that i liked the most! These were them, After doing my research on photographers i liked, i wanted to achieve a similar technique that Terry Richardson has demonstrated! In order for me to achieve this i must edit my photos to a higher exposure and brightness!
