Imitations

Barcode

When I saw this barcode I loved it becasue it was different
from the barcodes I usually see and it followed the code and conventions
so I adapted an idea from this barcode



This is my barcode, I didnt want to copy it exacly but adapt something



Double page spread design

Contents page design

Front cover design

Plan for new front cover, contents page and double page spread

Below are my rough sketches of what my final pieces were going to look like.

First draft and feedback

Above is the feedback I got for my first draft. Most of the feedback was good but just a few negative feedback comments:

• "It looks gd. and like the pictures BUT the only think dont like is the colours. think the red and blue clash"
• "Not feeling the colour scheme... Loving the title... "Bounce"... . Xx"

After reading this feedback I decided to change the:

Images

Colour scheme

Contents page and front cover

Background on my contents page

Colour palette

From research I learnt that hip hop magazines tend to use no more than four colours and the colours that are used mostly are red, black and grey. I decided to follow these codes and convention.

This is my colour palette:

Masthead design

For my masthead I used the font 'Super Black SF' and when i was designing my masthead I wanted something funky, a good effect that will catch the audience eye. i wanted an effect that relates with the title so I decided to add a bouncing ball on the text and I though it would look best on the o.



I decided to crop the bouncing ball in the image and use as the bounce on my masthead and I had some help from a teacher from my school by the name Mr Jamie Wallis



When i put it together it came out like this.

New pictures



Deleting the background was difficult as the background
was difficult as the background was the same
colour as the jacket.



I decided to take new pictures not only becasue I had misplaced my USB, but becasue the first images I took had no backdrop which made it difficult to manipulate the images on photshop.

These are some of the new images I took:

Deleting the background on this image was easir as the backdrop
was not the same colour as the jacket.
