Mood Board Analysis

  
On my mood board, I put many different musical artists in the genres of rap and rock and roll. The artists I chose to put on my mood board were Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar, which happen to be some of raps heaviest influencers in its history. Other artists that I included on my mood board are Jim Morrison, The Who, and Ringo Starr.
  The main focus of my mood board is music, especially rock and roll and rap. My board exemplifies this focus by including artists of each genre. My magazine will be focusing on both the genre of music now and the history of each music genre. Other focuses in the magazine will be artists and aspects of their lives having to do with music, i.e., concert experiences, life on tour, having to balance personal life and public life, etc.
  I chose to focus on the colors black and red in my pictures, as I want my theme colors to be those colors as I feel both rap and rock and roll are very stylistically based off each other, as many current rap artists attribute rock and roll into their musical styles and dressing styles, i.e Lil Uzi Vert.

Photo Editing Blog Post

The program that I used to edit my cover is Indesign, an Adobe program which allows us to write and edit picture all in one. At first the program was difficult to use as I was inexperienced while using the program. For the editing of my blog post, I tried to keep the image as close to its original as possible. I edited out the blemishes in the pictures, such as marks on the face and on the arms, as well as inconsistencies in the image, such as certain parts being blurred that weren't supposed to be blurred. On the top of the cover image, I will be putting my magazine's title "8TH STREET" is a mix of red and white colors, while using the font Hiragino Kaku Gothic StdN, as its boldness and kerning spacing is perfect for my title to cover the whole width of the page. For the subheadings, I plan on using the Rockwell font as it catches one's attention, yet doesn't distract from the cover image. For the subheadings, I wrote things that I believe a magazine woul...

Planning Cover #1

  PLANNING COVER      For my magazine cover, I plan on making a spacey effect by changing the background to a distorted type of cover that has been popularized in music videos in this new era of the 2010s. I plan on putting the masthead at the top of the page, behind the model's head yet still visible to the public. I plan on including the subheadings at the bottom of the page, as it would make editing the background of the cover much easier for me to do. i plan on making the background effect a sort of purplish-blue, so in turn I will make the masthead and subheadings a contrasting color, such as yellow or red, to not take all the attention of what I will actually be including in my magazine.  Some things I will be including in my magazine prop wise is a fake gold chain and a fake wad of money, as those are things that many new age rappers gloat around and what inspiring rappers chase after, as it shows that a rapper finally made it to the big leagues. I wil...

Photoshoot Pictures and Reflection

Image
Reflection In the end, I chose the picture where the model has a monotone face, as the portrayal is seemingly of a rap artist who takes himself serious and is trying to climb the ladder of the music world. That portrayal would only be able to be portrayed by the model having a serious face and not doing any facial effects. Between the two pictures that feature the model having a serious face, I picked the one that seemed easier to edit as the first picture included a white mark that was impossible to photoshop off.
