Flat Plan Draft/Deconstruction - TRILL Magazine

This is the flat plan of my cover, contents page and double page spread for  my Alternative R&B music magazine TRILL. I have shown where the inspiration and ideas for where each page has come from, along with a description.

Magazine Name Ideas

As I am making an Alternative R&B music magazine, I need a name for it. I decided that I wanted to name my magazine with something to do with technical music terms, so that my magazine can be more authentic. Whilst researching music terms, I came across the word 'Adagio' which means a composition written in a slow tempo, and the work 'Trill' which means a symbol that tells you in written music that there are rapids alternations between one tone and another.

I liked both the names equally, so I asked a group of my target audience to choose which name they preferred, and why.

The name 'TRILL' was more popular, as they said its 'easy to pronounce', is 'short and snappy', 'sounds musical' and the fact that it seems to suit my genre really well.

I then did some more research into the name, and  realised that in urban terms 'trill' refers to someone who is considered to be well respected, and is a combination of the words 'true' and 'real'.

Therefore I have decided to name my magazine TRILL.

Artist Profile: Fashion & Style

These are some of the items of accessories and clothing that I have collaged on polyvore.com, to show the style and the type of clothing and of my artist 'Adam'. From this, I will be able to choose better clothing for my model to wear, so that everything can match well and so that it all suits my music genre of alternative R&B. All of the clothes and accessories on here fit my genre, as they come across as 'suave and sophisticated' yet cool and laid back at the same time. I decided to place a lot of shirts, as they are generally in trend, and re worn my many male artists as they are very versatile depending on the style of the shirt. I used colours such as grey, black, blue and white, as they can work as both masculine with elements of femininity, which is something I wanted to portray. By adding items like the work boots, a jacket and caps, I think you can see different sides to his style which is something that I noticed many male artists have done. I think that the fact that the items are quite normal, relates to the fact that my artist doesn't want to be seen as a famous object, but more as a person.
