Task 19

Planning a photo-shoot for double page spread

 

The photos that I will use on the double page spread will need to be visually similar to the front cover so that it links. The pictures I am going to take will need to be of the same person.

 

Aims:

 

I want the photos to look professional and high quality. They are going to have to be appropriate for the target audience. The bright colours are going to stand out.

 

Location:

 

I will probably take the photos in a big room with lots of light so that they photos look better. With a white background you could put a lot of text over it.

 

Props:

 

I don't think I will be using any props because the model will be a singer that will be talking about herself so the pictures for the article need to focus on her as a person instead of adding in props that will only distract the audience from the main idea.

 

Models:

 

The person modelling for me is my friend Zoe, she will be an artist called Missy Fuze.

Task 12

I chose this picture to be on my cover because it looks a lot better and it is a mid shot. I liked how the cover model was posing and the way her face expression went with the theme and style of the magazine.

 

I liked this picture but decided not to use it since it was sepia, this edit is often used on hip-hop and indie rock magazines therefore it only partly fitted in with the target audience.

 

I did not use this picture for the final cover because it was difficult not to stretch it since it was a close up and it didn't have much of a media message I needed on the cover of my magazine.

Font

These are some sample fonts that could be the masthead of my magazine. The font needs to relate to my target audience and genre of my magazine.
