Research and planning progress on contents page



This is my progress on the contents page I have created, I need to add the images of my contents page model and some images of props and items e.g. clothes that will go with the theme of pop as this is traditional to the pop genre.

Research and planning my progress so far




This is my progress so far on creating my music magazine and I am showing you some of the editing I am doing towards my content page to show improvements that I think would make my magazine look better.

Research and planning font type for double page spread

We have been researching the type of fonts to use for our double page spread article about what is appropriate to use andwhat isn't. For example big bold font isn't appropriate as you want to define the title from the story/interview etc. so the type of font you could use is Cambria, Adobe Calson Pro, Times New Roman, Naslerville as these are clear and look classical to use.

Research and planning progress on contents page






This is my progress on my contents page, I decided to change the way my contents page looked as I though it looked to unprofessional and I didn't like the layout I did on the previous post, I think this looks much better and more like something a customer would buy.

Research and planning: background





As you can see all the backgrounds on these pop albums are plain and this is what I am going to use on the front page of my magazine, a plain white background to make the font and images to stand out.

Research and planning: location shoot research

For my location shoot I am having a variety of places to shoot my photographs, for my main front cover of my magazine I am shooting the photograph outside to get the best lighting possible for the front of my magazine and for the props as its a pop magazine which includes make-up, perfume and clothes I will be shooting this indoors as I don't need a specific lighting for these shots but I am going to make the shots more professional, and as for my contents page shots I will also be shooting these indoors in an environment which relates to the pop magazine theme.

Research and planning: Make up tests





Research and planning: Shooting Schedule






This is my shooting schedule that I will follow throughout the course of my photo shoot.

Research and planning: Shot list
