DPS Planning

Clothing- Iconogrpahy/Planning

NOT COMPLETED.

 

Mood Board

I have made an online mood board using www.moodshare.com which has allowed me to present the ideas in my head and in this case, what I think of when I think R&B!!!  It includes some artists within the genre, the style often worn by people associated with this kind of music and things that listeners of R&B music like such as expensive cars, jewelry and downloading music. 

Clothing - Iconography/Planning

I created this short video using www.animoto.com in order to visually plan the type of clothing that I will want the models in my magazine to wear. From looking at the style of my target audience, I have derived the up to date codes and conventions of contemporary Stylers, in order to attract my audience in the best possible way. 

Initial plan of what to research

 

Below I have written a rough idea about the types of things I need to research before planning my own music magazine. I will need to gather information about different genres of magazines, the target audiences of them all, details about the layout and design of current music magazines and of the different features, articles, double-page spreads and models that they include. I am hoping that the stuff I have written will contribute to a successful magazine construction as it will allow me to have enough knowledge and understanding on a variety of aspects on the magazine industry. It will also influence and potentially enhance some of my creative decisions with regards to layout, content and design.
