Song Inspiration for Table of Contents



This is a song entitled 'Good Life' by major Hip-Hop artist Kanye West.
This song was also used as inspiration for the image I took of the model lying down on the grass, smiling. This song along with 'Pocket Full of Sunshine' inspired image as in the song there is a line 'welcome to the good life' which suggests that his life is perfect and the image I took of the model hopefully also implies that she too has a 'good life'.
I included the title of this song as one of my article titles. Enjoy!

Song Inspiration for Table of Contents



This is a song entitled 'Pocket Full of Sunshine' by the English artist Natasha Bedingfield.
This was used as inspiration for the image I took of the model lying down on the grass with a big smile on her face. This image was taken because I had this song stuck in my head for a few days and then the idea of the image sprung from this.
I included the title of this song as my explanatory text for one of my article titles. Enjoy!

Table Of Contents Photo Shoot Plan

Song related to XXL magazine



This is a song by Hip-Hop/Grime artist Akala entitled 'XXL'. From my research I found this video and thought of the clear relevance it has to my music magazine in which I have analysed also entitled 'XXL'.
He is also an artist that comes from the genre in which my magzine is of and maybe this artist was even inspired by the XXL magazine...like I was!

Pull Quote Inspiration

From my research, I found this pull quote from double page spread in a magazine from an interview. The dramatic effect the pull quote is similar to the effect/feeling I want from the audience viewing my pull quote. From looking at this, I have learned to use a dramatic phrase in order to gain an emotive response.

Double Page Spread Text Inspiration





This is a song by hip-hop rapper T.I featuring Usher from his album Paper Trail. The title of the song is 'My Life, Your Entertainment' and is about how his life has been showcased for people's viewing entainment ever since becoming famous.

This song inspired me when creating my DPS text as I used the track title as one of the lines in the interview to show how Swizz Beatz feels when his whole life is in the spotlight.
