Front Cover House Styles

(Re-submission)

I like this because of the facial expressions, bold images with bright colours make the entire page eye-catching and would stand out on a shelf.

I like this because of the positioning of the two people, I could use the positioning of the artists as inspiration for my own images. 

Double page spread house styles

I like this because it stands out because of the main images and the font colour.

I like this because it also stands out due to the bright writing and band logo.

I like this because it is more simple but still very effective. 

Contents page house styles

(Re-submission)

I like this because even though the main image dominates half of the page, the bottom half doesn't look that cramped.

I like this one because of the way they use the other photos shown, other than the main image. The use of secondary images is clear and not cramped.

I like this one because of the way the main image has an effect on it but non of the others do, but it still works.

Costume designs

(Re-submission)

Costume idea 1: Black skinny jeans, plain t-shirt with beanie.
It is simple so it will draw more attention to the guitars and their faces.

Costume idea 2: Leather trousers, plain t-shirt with leather jacket.
Leather is often associated with rock.

Costume idea 3: Skinny blue jeans, plain t-shirt with denim jacket.
This was what 80s rockers used to wear.

College Magazine Name

General magazine names:
Brainery, Academy, CSociety

Brainery: Another word for college, below the 8 character limit and it's different.

Academy: More known, not as unique but below the 8 character limit.

CSociety: Original, means college society and matches the 8 character limit. 

CSociety is my choice.
