Choosing my Contents and Double Page Spread


i came up with the contents with more confident since it would be a single image with matching house colour with my screen so I came up with this.
































My double page was focus on one single car and this is the best photo i got from my album.


This is the layout I've placed before I insert the Review passage.

Choosing Front Cover picture

This is the process of how I choose my front cover and end up with a 90 degree drift to another photo.


 The top picture is the first picture I came up with and the below is the picture I used to prefer so, what did I end up with. The first picture was kind of hilarious so I just closed it before I even begin. For the second picture I was trying to cut it and it end up badly and unsatisfying so I didn’t not go any further.
This is what I did came up with later on, I sketch out the car and try to use it as my front cover and it turned out like this. 

                                                                                               It looks more like a night club poster so i decide not to use it.

   This one the texts looks too tacky and un fitting to my theme. And the colour us not matching.




































See that i should embrace the picture more since i took time taking it and its the main image so i decide to make it full page so it would look more dominant this is my 90 degree turn from what i planned at first.

Photo Shoot #1


 As you can see here are a list of cars that will feature my final magazine first one is the BMW 420i
this is a convertible as you can see the roof can be open. I chose this car because firstly its available and its a convertible so i would have a variety of cars, on the left theres a is a image of this car in action which shows the front view and the second image down below is the back view of it these image is not yet edited but should do for now as an idea. There is much more but this is the select few for display, partially unusable due to various photography reasons, such as over expose and so on. These are the car that belong to my family so i am able to display the licences plate here otherwise i have to censor it due to privacy reasons. These are general shots just to show you the cars, the one on the right is a slightly high shot, the reason here is to show a bit of the interior as well as the exterior. As you can see this car has a red lether interior this shows that is a sports car since red could mean fast burring etc...

Moving down to the second one this is also another model from BMW this model is called the i8, its a hybrid sports car. There are many hybrid cars out there but they are just simple city cars that won't give you that amazing driving experience, this car can be driven in eco mode when you feel the urge to be economical, you canals driven in sports mode when you feel like unleashing 362 horsepower and don't care about nature. There are other hybrid sportscar (the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 are hypercars is is just for cars lover so i won't offend them by calling it a sports car) like the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 but since I'm unable to get a hold of it this is the car I've got. The reason i got this car is because firstly because it breaks the expectation of what people think of the hybrid car, when i mention a hybrid car people will think of some slow earth loving cars that goes as fast as a motored wheelchair but here a new innovation that goes faster than most full petrol engine cars.  
 second is because i had access to it thats all nothing much. The second image is to show the

door open. Please don't mind about the leg i didn't kidnap anyone, its just my classmate. Other than the door it also shows a part of the car's back lights trying to not reveal much but so there will be surprise in the final form.
The picture below is not a BMW obvioulsy but its a Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 a new front wheel drive car from Mercedes since the engine its in front they were able to give the car more power, if its a rear wheel drive it won't be able to produce the same amount of power i don't want to go too technical here so thats it. The reason i got this car is to make it more variable of cars in it since the both two car are BMW already so another car brand would be better so you would not get bored of the BMW. i also planning on getting another car in which is the Mini Cooper S which is a car for teenagers since it has nice colours small design and fast so it would fit teenage profile.

evo (Double Page Spread) Analysis #3

 This is a double spread from 'evo' magazine it a magazine from UK, this Double Page Spread feature a classic Porsche 911. This is a very simple double page spread, and yet its capable of capture attention form you from you. On the bottom left corner of the largest image is a small text which is the credit of the photographer and the owner of the car. The top left side of the page features a big I  this is to start of with confidence and how this car is to the the eye of car lovers, I also think that this I is to reflect humans simple desire is "I want". When most people saw a nice epic car what do they usually think, I can assure you that most people would think deep inside that they wanted the car, so I think this is to pull out peoples inner greed, because who wouldn't want a nice car for themselves. There are a text that is placed in the quotation mark this show that its a saying/quote form someone. This double page spread also features 2 more small images of the car which shows other part of the car, as shown above its the image of the sideways of the car when its in action and the next image is the image of the car's engine . The layout of this DPS is based on simplicity due to the fact that people who are in the market for classics cars are very like to be rich due to classic cars require a lot of maintenance and care also the parts are hard to find so it requires a lot of money top maintain it. Second reason is because they rich and they like classic cars its very likely that they are also into other classic things and most classic things are simple but elegant not flashy or complicated.

Wheels (Double Page Spread) Analysis #2


This is a Double page spread from 'Wheels' magazine from Australia, this DPS (Double Page Spread) features a Ferrari 488 GTB as u can see. Over 3/4 of the page is covered with the image of the Ferrari on a race track, below the back wheel you can see the stats of the car provided by the editor to inform you about the amazing stats the car have, since supercar/hypercar should be compare mainly with stats not the cost of it. On the right are The review by a first hand driver, you can also see the puff on the top left corner of the text saying "FIRST OVER SEAS DRIVE" which literally means this is tested/ drive overseas. A typical mast head "Ferrari 488 GTB" which is just like shouting out to you the name of the brand of the car and the mode name to make it stick to your head, as the texts are in black and white back ground is just to create contrast so its easy to read. Under the masthead it says "New twin-turbo V8 defines Maranello's 458 successor" this means that this car describe the Ferrari 458 which is the model before this one. Under all the text theres a preview of the back of the Ferrari 488 GTB its there just to give you the image of what the car would look like since the main image shows the front and the sides already. The last thing is on the bottom left and the bottom right there are 2 small text, on the left is the page number and the website of the magazine on the right is also the page number with the social network names of the magazine.
