MastHeads:
As I have decided that my magazine will feature music rather than fashion. I must create a masthead. As my photos have already been taken, this will work to my advantage as they could be used as inspiration.
Other aspects of inspiration are previous and successful music magazines. For example:
Kerrang:
This is the logo from a very successful music mag. As the title of the magazine is unusual,unique and original, it attracts readers. Furthermore, as it is an abnormal name, it is easier to rememeber which works to its advantage.
The name itself I think is pretty self explainatry for the genre of music. It is catchy, quick and quirky which fits the genres of music mixed into the magazine. As the writing is neither flowery or coloured to represent 'females', the rock style is clearly shown.

Photos:
Here are my photos for the magazine. During this, I will need to decide which ones I will use. As for the ones I havent used, they will just be placed in planning:
Here is a photo of my male model. Like planned, both models were dressed in casual wear. This will give my audience the chance to relate to ordinary people. In this photo, the model has refused to show any facial expression. This photo could be within my double page for a negative story.
The next two photo's will be placed on te double page but as extra photos. I like these photos as they are plain and simple.
-
As my magazine is based on Music mags, the next two photos seemed vital. By combining a guitar and microphone, this automatically has linked my models into a duet band.
When looking through all of the photos taken that day, this is my favorite. I have decided that this will be my cover photo for the front cover.

Overall the photos was a success. As there are fewer photos of my female model. the double page will be based on the male.
The use of the white background will make editing the photos much easier for things such as 'cutting out'.Also as both models have vibrant/bold hair colours, this will also be easier to cut out rather than a lighter shade.

Today I began taking photos for myproject. Both of my models were dressed casually to conclude in them looking like everyday individuals. Also as they were in their own choices of clothing with a few requests from me, this made them look unique and different. Many individual shots were took for the male model as he will be featured in the double page. The photo's I took of him were on various different levels with the prop of a guitar.
The use of the guitar emphasized that these photo's were for a music magazine. However the female model took more feminine photo's with a microphone. Using both musical props and group shots, I could form my two models into a duet band.
This was very successful :-).
However, to conclude in my photo shooting,I need:

However, to conclude in my photo shooting,I need:
- Outside shots
- Photos to be featured as advertisements
PhotoShoot.
Before I began to take photo's of my models (Sarah & Ryan), I decided to look at other magazines and the poses they used for their models. Here are some examples:
This magazine makes the female look superior. Since she is staring at the camera, this cathces the readers attention as it gives the illusion she is staring right at YOU.
This front cover shows that body guestures portray alot. For example as she has placed her arm across her stomach, this cleary shows she is pregnant.
