Google Mock-up Ideas

This is my first Google mock-up. I chose Kurt Cobain as he is iconic of the Classic Rock genre and therefore straight away connotes the genre of this magazine to the audience.  These are the second edits of my contents page (if Kurt Cobain was the main image on the front cover), by including Kurt as the main image on the contents page, this creates a link for the audience between these two pages and therefore connotes to the audience that this issue focus' on Kurt Cobain. As you can see I have maintained a house-style through both edits of these contents pages and the front cover in order to create a link and a systematic colour scheme throughout the whole magazine issue. However, I decided to try different colour schemes for these two contents pages. As you can see I have trialed the colour yellow as on the front cover I have included the colour yellow behind the masthead in order to catch the audiences attention. I feel yellow works more effectively throughout this contents page as it maintains a systematic colour scheme. This is a mock up of the double page spread that I will be creating. As you can see  I have maintained systematic colours throughout the colour scheme and images. This is so the magazine becomes iconic to the audience and they can recognise my magazine from a far. I have taken inspiration from a Mojo's magazine double page spread: I think this is an effective double page spread as it is easy for the audience to navigate around, with the main image taken up one whole page on the left and the article beginning on the right page. As you can see, I have used this layout in order to make my magazine a successful and professional product. This is the second edit for my front cover magazine. These are only Google mock-up that helps me to understand the conventions of form (magazine) and convention of genre (Classic Rock) and how I will apply these conventions when creating my real magazine. I feel that these Google mock-ups are effective ans successful when conveying the genre of my magazine. This is the first edit of my mock-up contents page. As you can see, I have kept running themes throughout such as the colour scheme of red, white and black. I have also maintained the use of the main image being Taylor Momsen, as I chose her to be the main image on my front cover. By using the same artist on the contents page as well as the front cover, this creates a house-style and link between the two pages and therefore connotes to the audience that this issue focus' on Taylor Momsen. This is a second edit of my double page spread, featuring Taylor Momsen. I have decided to maintain the house-style overall, that I created when I created my double page spread featuring Kurt Cobain. This is so my magazine is a recognisable product that maintains the same conventions throughout an issue. As you can see, I have not included the colour red on this double page spread despite including it on my front cover and contents pages, this is due to the idea that the simplicity of this double page spread creates a subtle rebellious tone therefore connoting the overall theme of rebellion that I initially wanted to create.
