Photoshoot Ideas - Music Magazine

I like the rustic, casual effect



I like the pose in this picture, it would also be easy to copy 




I like the background in this photo



This is the photo I like the most, im going to emulate this photo but use a more interesting background in the shoot

The impersonal apporach on a magazine cover makes it stand out

For my double spread I would like my band standing in a lake, to create a unique environment.

Evaluation Of Magazine Cover

Overall i am happy with my two final pieces - I used photoshop and Dafont to create my school magazine and contents and felt after doing this task my photoshop skills have improved a lot! Dafont enabled me to use specialised fonts to match my magazines theme, without it the finished product would have been a lot plainer. I researched many sport magazines before choosing my design - i feel sport magazines these days are too plain and boring so i wanted to make my cover more fun and interesting also that includes a variety of sports! Sport magazines are normally very masculine so i tried to make it unisex - my contents is more softer than the front cover to make it more equally masculine and feminine. The strenghns of the magazine is it has a strong front image and  I have used aspects of the magazine I wanted to emulate to make it more realistic. I have used various sans and sans-serif fonts to make the magazine more interesting and appealing to the school student audience. The stories i have written are interesting but mainly focus on the male audience. Weaknesses include the business of the frount cover and the plainness of the contents! i Could have used less stories on my cover and more pictures on the contents.  If i did my magazine again I would have widened my target audience and used more affective puffs. I believe this is a positive start to photoshop and all the skills Ive learnt will help me on the next task.

Contents

Here is evidence of my contents progression, i have chosen to keep the format simple to contrast the magazine cover. I have kept the same text format to keep the sport theme going. 

Emulating Basis

I have taken ideas from rugby news and emulated it into my final magazine. I used the one main image idea, lots of interesting sub-headings and different fonts. I have made my magazine more fresh and modern.

My final image for my cover is on the left, and my edited background i have incorporated is the beginning of my magazine cover.

Photo Shoot for Magazine

On the photoshoot i wanted to get a variety of different sport action and posing shots. I used boys because my target audience for this issue will be for the football and rugby teams.
