Medium Close up shots

Here are 2 examples of Medium-Close up shots, the camera is well in focus showing us the two people clearly, when i make my magazine i want my images to be clear and i must use medium close up shots in my task.

Images

Rarely do we see a Magazine cover without any pictures, i have to decide what imae to use for my Cover, I will take a range of pictures of the college and students in it i was thinking of using a image of the "Wyke College" in the background and a few students laughing,smiling and having fun to emphasise how good this college is. The cover will consist of the college then the title over the building with the students beneath it, i have yet to decide if i will take seperate pictures of the students then the college or get them both into one shot. I think i will take seperate pictures and photoshop the two together

Colours

A color scheme is the choice of colors used in design in media. For example, the use of a white background with black text is an example of a basic and commonly default color scheme in web design.
Color schemes are used to create style and appeal. Colors that create an happy or warm feeling when used together will commonly accompany each other in color schemes. A basic color scheme will use two colors that look appealing together. More advanced color schemes involve several colors in combination, usually based around a single color; for example, text with such colors as red, yellow, orange and light blue arranged together on a black background in a magazine article.

Comparing to "Wired" Magazine

This is an american magazine, This magazine has used the colour red, around the cover and the title which could have been used to attract readers to its title. However i dont think hat the right colours were used as sub headings; for instance at the top it has the heading "nuclear rogues &how to control them " but they have used a light blue against a whiteback ground making it harder to read, whilst on the "Wired" background the darker colours contrasted with the background making it easier to read.

Analysing Headlines

Here is a PC magazine, i picked this magazine because of thetitle, the colours go well with the background with different lettering to other normal magazines. With cutouts for some letters and boxes around other letters.

Possible Names of Magazines


I will be marketing a college magazine so it has to be related:


College Special

College Weekly - my favourite

An Educational Read

The Weekly Learner


All Other Magazines I Have looked at have quite attractive titles which attract the reader to look at the magazine.

List of other Magazines

Vogue
NME
Empire
Weekend etc.

Compare to the Empire Magazine cover

1. Smaller main title in the top left of the cover NME, that the big red one for Empire Magazines.

2.Big Heading in the middle "Kate Nash & Jack Penate" with a smaller subheading underneath it.

3. Big picture again with the heading over it (Picture of Kate Nash and Jack Penate)

4.Small advertisements around the magazine, "WIN! Arctic Monkeys Tickets"

5. I would say this magazine is aimed at teens+ as i cant imgine a 7 year old going to a concert
