Electronic music

As previously stated, I am likely to choose Electronic music as my genre for my music magazine, and thought it would be appropriate to share some examples of some kinds of electronic music I enjoy and am likely to reference in my magazine. 

Photoshop 3

This was my third attempt at using Photoshop, and my first slightly complex attempt. I have used a variety of different methods and tool so create the image below. I duplicated the picture and desaturated the original layer, before erasing the parts of the picture I didn't want in colour. I applied text and added a shadow effect, before introducing a glow around the two students in the picture and a shadow around the picture itself, I finally added another piece of text and shaded that as well. 

Music magazine ideas

After today's lesson, I now understand what it takes in order to get a high level mark for my music magazine.
I have very basic ideas for the structure, pictures and the overall contents of the magazine.

I am aware who I will use and the scenarios I will place them in, as well as very basic ideas of the lighting and know what my music magazine will be called. 
The genre I have chosen for my magazine is electronic, encompassing House, Electro and Dubstep, I intend to use the logos of other artists to increase the authenticity of my magazine, so I will contact certain musicians asking if it is ok to use said logos on the magazine. The magazine is intended to be for people of my own age and slightly older, so this will be taken into consideration when creating the magazine.

Photoshop 2

This is my second attempt at using Photoshop, and there is a clear state of progression. I have used 3 layers, the main picture is duplicated with the original layer desaturised. the duplicated layer is increased in saturation and the background is erased to create a black and white effect.
