Storyboard Planning Findings
I have done several storyboards for the front cover of my magazine. The majority are based on the front covers from Heat and Closer magazine, and the story content is influenced from Kerrang magazines.
The first composition is very basic, and includes only a picture of a singer with a quote and the singer’s name. It is all very simple and the title of the magazine is at the very top of the page, I have not elaborated on how this will look as when I get onto Photoshop I will be able to play around with fonts, special effects and colours. For now though, this composition is very basic, and I don’t think that this will appeal to the target audience I am aiming at.
A second composition includes 4 other stories on the page to make the page busier so that there is more to attract potential customer’s attention. At the top and the bottom of the page I have included a bulletin line; the top includes a quote or summary of the magazine in a quick statement. The bottom line is an additional bulletin of an “extra” story that is included; this will be in a brighter colour and will stand out so that audiences can see that there is “extra” in the magazine. However, this front cover composition I think is far too simple and boxed up – therefore I have designed a third composition where there are stories at the top of the page, stories down the left hand side and a story in a “bubble” as an extra – instead of a bulletin which most other magazines use. I have done this so that it is slightly different to other magazines. I have decided to use composition 4 because it is the busiest and include a variety of shapes to present the pictures and story headliners, also the stories around the page frame the centre image which brings focus to it. Also included on this composition is the “must haves” such as the bar code, issue number and date. I will however change the size of the name of the music magazine, “Music Mania”, as at the moment it is too small, otherwise this is a great composition plan and I am very happy with it.
