HOUSESTYLE

 One part of the production of my magazine was to make sure how I would want the typography to be. This included the font style for the masthead, body copy, coverlines, buzzwords, puffs and other elements on the cover page. I used a website recommended by my teacher, to choose from a variety of fonts ie www.dafont.com . 


MASTHEAD: 


I wanted to go for a casual look for the masthead but also quite appealing to the eye apart from casual. By casual I mean I did not want a pointy professional font but a friendly one appropriate for a dog magazine. The font I chose was Grobold by Guy Buhry as it went right according to my preferences. It will be placed on top of my magazine stretched left to right. 

COLOUR SCHEME:

The color scheme of my magazine would be a light color on a dark background most probably. Because of the model on my cover, the color scheme is most likely to have the model's fur coat colors as the main establishing ones. This makes my color palette consist of brown, black and green all together.

Here is how i roughly sketched my magazine elements featuring all the components of a magazine to make it look appealing to the audience. I used the online auto draw tool for this purpose which made me design a rough sketch easily. Cover page : For my magazine cover I decided I would put a full shot of my dog (model) from head to toe. As my dog is trained I am looking forward to the fact that it would be easy for me to get a full shot it. However if he's too restless I really wont be able to control how he stands. In that I would take a close up shot and put it in the same way as sketched. It will be picture taken in high key lighting that I have thought would be taken in natural sun light following the ...

THE CONCEPTS ELABORATED

  Another important part of media studies is how forms and languages are used to convey the products of media and its use of codes and conventions that helps it. These include different signs  and symbols to create meaning to something.  The most important of them is codes which are used in media and these are actually the connotations to the audience.    Initially there are two categories of codes that you'll find in media, one is the technical code and the other is the symbolic code. Technical codes includes all the equipment used to tell a story in a media text and includes camera techniques, framing, depth of field and exposure. Whereas symbolic codes on the other hand show whats beneath the surface of what we see for instance objects, setting, body language, clothing and color.  Other categories of codes include the written codes and the audio codes. The written codes as the label itself says, is the formal written language on a media product for examp...
