Double Page Spread.

i decided to write something in to break the black up a bit. its only a simple box, with name, age and occupation in it. i didnt want to complicate it and make it look shoved in, unprofessional and messy. im very happy with the outcome of my designs, and think it looks a lot better than i first imagined. :D

i think this will be my final version. i changed the colour of the font and also changed the font. the colours are simple, and dont clash. i had to read through my interview as i realised i had spelling mistakes. i think i may have to add in another text box because there is a big space that looks like there should be something there...

this is my final layout. i made the background black so that everything stands out more. i used the polaroids because i think its appropriate to have something else to look at other than the text. this is my rough version of the final production. i decided i didnt like the transparant boxes as they make it look well organised. the writing is overlapping onto the other photographs which im not happy with. the font is also a bit hard to read and hurts my eyes, and especially with those fluroescent colours aswel.

Putting The Final Production Together. :)

these are my screenshots of my final piece:

this is the first one i did. i used the font ive already stated in my last post.

i decided to keep the actual title black and have the shadows behind it coloured as i thought this would make it stand out more.

i used the volt symbol because its obviously associated with electricity, and i thought this fits well.

i chose to use the green strip to add a bit more colour as my picture is black and white, and drew a solid white box across the top of the picture to make the title stand out more.

i added the rest of the text and a barcode. i then decided i didnt like the green box as it just didnt fit in, so i changed it to grey. i decided i didnt like it once again haha.

i changed the green block to completely black. i feel that this fits in a lot better.

i added in the white spots because i felt that it broke the colours up a lot. and at the bottom quoted " LETS CRASH THE PARTY" - this is so reader's want to pick up the magazine and see what acid barbie has to say. :)

this is my final piece for the front cover. i just used simple text for the date, price and issue number.

Front Cover Title.

this the font im going to use for my front cover.

this is the sample piece from the website.

i found this image on http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/thinkdust/yume/

the font is called 'yume'.

i like this font because i think it fits the name of my magazine. 'ELECTRIK'.

with its edgy style and bang on in your face boldness. :)

Acid Barbie Photoshoot.

these are the three pictures i like the best of 'acid barbie':

this top image is the one im going to use on my front cover.

JazzyFizzle Photoshoot.

so last night i did my photoshoot. ideally i wanted to do it earlier, but i wanted to do it in the studio, and all the art & media kids have all had assessments so the place has pretty much been fully booked for the last couple of weeks.

i made a boyband out of Jake, Kee & Danny. Luke let me down and decided he wanted to go home. LOSER.

(there not the best looking boyband ive ever set eyes on to be honest, but its good enough haha) here are some of the picture's im thinking about using for my 'jazzyfizzle' page.

i love how relaxed all the pictures are, and i think they do look like a boyband just messing around and having fun. as 'jazzyfizzle' are a band. im only going to interview Jake, as too not make it a full on interview.

it is only a bit of fun really afterall.

JAKE.

Writing The Interview For 'Acid Barbie'.

INTRO :

'In this edition of “ELECTRIK!,” we get inside the mind of Acid Barbie, best known for being the lead singer in alternative rock band- DollyCakeFace. read the full interview from touring around the world to tea parties. - definatly not to be missed!'

ELECTRIK:

'we hear your leaving DollyCakeFace for good, is that true?'

ACID BARBIE.

'OH MY GOSH! NO! ahh i dont even know where that came from! i LOVE being in DollyCakeFace, they're like family to me, i just have so much fun, we just travel around and play our gigs, and just joke around, seriously - they're like brothers and sisters, i love them all.

ELECTRIK:

'It must feel pretty amazing to know what a positive role model you are for millions of young teenagers out there!'

ACID BARBIE:

Well, thank you. I really try to do my best and put my all into everything i do. i have so much love and respect for my fans, because they're the ones that got me where i am today.

ELECTRIK:

'How do manage to keep your head on your shoulders amidst all of this craziness?'

ACID BARBIE:

'ahh im still just a normal kid, my family and friends keep me grounded, i think i'd end up with a punch in the face if i was any different haha. no but really, my friends dont treat me any differently, they just love the fact they've been able to meet other celebrities. my mum puts me back in my place when im at home, if i start going crazy she always says 'your not to big to go over my knee Sophie!'.

ELECTRIK:

'do you find it strange being a solo artist?'

ACID BARBIE:

'not really, because im still around so many people. i miss the rest of the guys like mad, but they all want time off, and i dont! ive got so much i still want to do, ive still got places i want to see!'.

ELECTRIK:

'will you be playing any of the UK festivals this summer?'.

ACID BARBIE :

'erm, i'd love too. but nothings confirmed yet, my tour kick's off soon and im not sure where i'll be, but i'd love to come home and play a few more, then hometown gigs are always the best arn't they?

ELECTRIK :

''what do you like to do in your time off?"

ACID BARBIE :

"haha, there's so much. my favourite thing is to get all my friends together, and go for little tea parties in the woods".

'Acid Barbie'.

'Acid Barbie' is the main attraction in my magazine. she is seventeen years old, and she shot to fame as lead singer in the band 'DollyCakeFace'. 'acid barbie' is now, trying out a solo project whilst the rest of the band members take time off from touring and such.

the names 'acid barbie' and 'dollycakeface' come from myself, 'acid barbie' is a nickname that i get called and 'dollycakeface' is my online username for most things, like blogspot :) im not sure where it came from, but ive used it for a couple of years now.
