Drawing(s)

Trying to get used to the feel of the Bamboo, I'm enjoying it a lot though hopefully with practice the lines will be a low cleaner and the proportions more correct

Trying to make a feminine version of ATL's cartoon artwork, she is ridiculously ugly right now but it's a start. A Cartoon cover would be interesting and unique for a music magazine, it would also be really fun to create and work on.

The Pitch

Friday 25 January 2013

Audience Profile

Name: Charlotte Washington

Nickname: Charly

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Education:
Is currently a A-Level student at Lutterworth College the subjects she takes are Media, Busines Studies, Art and English Literature. Charlys favourite subject is Media as she enjoys learning about the Film Industry.

Interests/Hobby:
She has grown up going to a theatre school and now takes graded drama lessons outside of school. She loves listening to music whenever she has the chance and is always carrying her iPod with her. Charly enjoys drawing and painting and has a collection of spray paints which she used to decorate her snowman. Being active is important to her so she tries to go to the gym or running at least once a week. She shops at places such as H&M, River Island and Topshop but will also go into small local shops

Enjoys going to the cinema whenever she has the chance and is forever looking up what is coming out, though she doesn't really have a favourite genre. Her favourite actor is Heath Ledger mainly for is "epic" portrayal of The Joker in Batman the Dark Knight. In her spare time she is often on the internet either looking through her Tumblr or Twitter checking out what everyone else is doing. She also uses YouTube a lot looking for new movie trailers or watching Ellen Degeneres. Musically she likes playing her acoustic guitar or her ukulele which are both blue "They're matching!" and enjoys singing.

Music Interests:
Her favourite bands are most likely to be Fall Out Boy, You Me At Six, All Time Low, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Paramore and Hadouken!.

Ambitions:
Charly knows she wants go go to uni and have that experience but she doesn't know what kind of career she would like to have.

Charly is hard to pin down to one Uk tribe as she has a wide range of hobbies and interests. She has aspects of Craft kids in the fact she likes art and designing her own stuff but she also has aspects of trendies preferring to wear her Jack Wills hoodie to a coat, her music taste also crosses over into the Young Alts section.

Social Media is key when influencing the type of person she is, whether it is on a film she 'needs' to see or music she listens to. Teenagers as a whole like to feel apart of something, that they are important. Getting them involved is a good way in getting them to be active in their support.

Robert Downey Jr.

The orange is brought out by the lack of other colours, I think this is cool as it makes the audience focus on Robert Downey Jr. This also isn't a generic model, I think I'd rather try and use a proper model for my magazine.

Green Day

I'm mostly likely going to end up doing an Alternative Rock magazine so inspiration from others such as kerrang is useful.

I like how they haven't got Billy Joe Armtstrong staring at the camera, it's almost like an action shot.

007

Doodle of the suit and gun is awesome. I'd love to draw some of my magazine, even if just a basic cartoon suit.

Pop Art

Scarlet Johansson an amazing actress and the use of pop art for this cover is awesome. It is difficult to decide whether this is a photo or drawing, though I believe it is a photo the editing that has been done is extremely professional and works really well with Scarlet's pose.

World Trade Center

Amazing use of the bar code to represent the twin towers. The twin towers has always been an interesting topic, among the conspiracy theories and the tragic stories it has changed the way the world works drastically. I would love to use a quirky barcode for my magazine.

V for Vendetta

I like V for Vendetta, like Alan Moore storylines and his style of drawings he is a very influential and well-known graphic novel author. The V for Vendetta mask has become iconic even in circles who haven't seen the movie or novels of it's origin.
