Fashion

I have researched in too what girls in bands or girl bands wear on stage and in public so I can dress my model accordingly.
Baggy tops are very popular with girls who are in bands and girl bands. Wearing baggy tops with skinny jeans and heels is popular and what most of the new up to date bands are wearing.
I have looked at many music magazines and the most common thing I have found is that girls who are in bands tend to wear skinny jeans with heels. I believe this is because it is the most up to date fashion item and wearing heels with them gives you stage presents.

JCG Front Cover


I created this front cover in photo shop. I decided to put 'Jersey college' in red and bigger as this is going to be the recognisable name of the magazine. I also put the logo on the front cover as I am creating a house style and I want this to be a part of it. I decided to put the background as pink as the students jumper is red and if it was red it would blend in. I also wanted to keep the same sort of colour scheme as the school which is red, black, grey and white. I have put a drop shadow on the picture of the student as I think this makes it look like she was the only one in the picture and I haven't cut her out. I have made come of the words white as it stands out and catches the readers eye.

JCG Contents Page



This is the contents page I created on photo shop. I went around the school taking pictures of students. I added them in to photo shop and edited them. I copied from a previous magazine I have looked at, the idea of the page numbers on top of the picture. I did this in white as this colour stands out on every picture. I added effects to the title 'contents' as I believe this needs to stand out and grab the readers attention. I put the logo and kept the back ground the same as I have created a house style on the front cover and need to carry it on through out the magazine. I have also put the JCG motto on it as I believe it is important that the readers are reminded of this through out the magazine.
