Digital Media 2019 - 21 Elliot Bowers

To create this, I put a picture of my friend Tom on top of a roof into InDesign to use as the background and then followed the typical codes and conventions of a magazine to create my double page spread page. I added the “Top 100 Hip- Hop Artists of 2019 RANKED!!!” masthead followed by the subheading/strap line “(according to their fans)” into a white box on top of the image. I then added text boxes to put all 100 rappers onto the page to follow the title of the page but i had to change some of the colours so that it worked on the page and so the text was visible and used a text wrap around Tom so it flowed correctly on the page. I then added another text box to try and get readers to interact and give feedback.

To create this, I put a picture of my friend Tom on top of a roof into InDesign to use as the background and then followed the typical codes and conventions of a magazine to create my contents page. I added the “Contents ” masthead into a white box on top of the image. I then added text boxes to annotate what will be featured in the magazine to grasp the passerby/ readers attention.

To create this, I put a picture of my friend Tom on top of a roof into InDesign to use as the background and then followed the typical codes and conventions of a magazine to create my front cover page. I added the “Culture” masthead followed by the subheading/strap line “Hip-Hop Lifestyle Magazine” into a white box on top of the image. I then added text boxes to annotate what will be featured in the magazine to grasp the passerby/ readers attention.

This is my example of a text wrap. To do this I got pictures off of the internet and the created a text box and filled it with body text. I then used the text wrap feature to wrap the text round the images to fit the codes and conventions of a magazine.

This is my typography. I used my nickname and recreated the given examples to write my nickname in various different styles to look more interesting than just the name.

I created this newspaper double page spread in InDesign with inspiration from different newspaper double page spread but made some changes (e.g. changes to the text so that some interesting parts where bold to stand out more). I also did two text wraps around the picture of Stormzy and Earl Sweatshirt to follow the typical codes and conventions of a newspaper.

 I created this on InDesign and drew inspiration from various different magazines. I got a picture of 'Virgil Abloh' off of the internet to use for cover to act as the main image/cover image and then tried to replicate different magazine double page spreads. I then added the 'CUTURE' masthead to fit the code and conventions of a magazine. Then I added text and used the 'Text Wrap' tool to make the text fit around the image.

I created this on InDesign and drew inspiration from various different magazines. Firstly, I wrote the letters “Q” and “A” and make them slightly go off of the screen to match the style of the copied magazine. I then added the ‘What SHE SAID' masthead to fit the code and conventions of a magazine. Then I added all or the text and the final image to recreate the original magazine cover. 

I created this on InDesign and drew inspiration from various different magazines. I got a picture of 'Tyler, The Creator' off of the internet to use to act as the main image and then attempted to replicate different magazine single pages. I then added the 'CUTURE' masthead to fit the code and conventions of a magazine. Then I added text and used the 'Text Wrap' tool to make the text fit around the image.

These are my rough thumbnail sketches for a magazine. I followed the typical codes and conventions in order for it to look realistic and make sense. I drew a front cover, a contents and a double page spread and added codes and conventions to each page. I would add original pictures to the pages where a person is draw and i would add actual text instead of the blocks of “text”.

I created this on InDesign and drew inspiration from various different magazines. I got Callam to take a picture of me in the style of the original 'CULTURE' magazine featuring Daniel Kaluuya on the cover to act as the main image/cover image and then tried to replicate the magazine cover. I then got a picture of a pastel green background to paste into InDesign and then resize it to fit behind me. I then added the 'CUTURE' masthead to fit the code and conventions of a magazine. I then added the main cover line "Why i had to get out" and the next cover line "Elliot Bowers on leaving London for a Hollywood career" to also fit the codes and conventions of a magazine. I then added the menu across the top with features of what is inside the magazine.
