Photoshoot inspiration

This image inspired the photo-shoot for my magazine. I wanted to recreate something like this but wanted a more of an hip hop feel to it so I made my model wear a hoodie like the girl in this picture. However I did not like her facial expression because she is not looking at the camera and magazine models usually do so that it seems they are looking directly at the person who is potentially going to buy it. For the double page spread I made my model also wear the hood up to look more fierce and edgy.

Contents Page Reaserch

This contents page has a lot of information and the writing is quite small so that everything could fit and no space is wasted. The main colours are red, black and grey. These colours are more likely to appeal to a male audience. The fonts are easy to read yet they all look the same and blend together. This is something I’d rather avoid because it makes everything clump together and looks boring.

I would like my contents page to look more like this one that the Q contents page because it suits my target audience. It has feminine colours and would attract teenage girls. It has smaller subheadings that break up different parts of the magazine; this is something I would like to do as it is effective and quite a useful feature to use.
