My Inspirations

Artists in EDM

There are lots of different artists in the genre of Electronic Dance Music with lots of different styles. However I have a particular favourite that I based my EDM character from.

Deadmau5

Deadmau5 is an EDM artist that does all of his performances wearing a helmet representing a Dead Mouse.

This is where I got some of my inspiration for the artist on the front cover and double page spread of my production work.

My Artist

My artists came from the idea of Deadmau5. They are similar as my artist too wears a horse head every time they do a performance.

This shows how I am keeping some of the styles of the music genre and incorporating them into my magazine.

Draft ideas

I originally wanted to take pictures that use the style of modern photography so I included the modern side of the genre of music.

However, looking at other music magazines of the same style, I had to drift away from my starting ideas as they didn’t have the same conventions of the magazines.

I still kept most of my ideas from the original drafts but I just had to change the colours and placement of text and pictures.
