Research and planning progess on magazine cover

This is an update on my music magazine, I decided to change some things around as this looks more grown up and also more professional.

Research and planning: magazine cover progress

Today I have been creating ideas for my music magazine, this is what I have come up with so far.

Research and planning poses for magazine

Here are some poses that could be used for my magazine front cover and contents page, they look very stylish and engaging with the audience which is my aim for the magazine.

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

This is my shot list that I have prepared to go off for my magazine shoot, the location will be in college in the media room. 

Research and planning thought post

I think I might do my double page spread on a interview of the artist on my front cover, this interview will be exciting and shocking news as I want to engage my readers into the magazine, I will do this by having a hint on the front cover on whats inside.

Research and planning risk assessment

This is my risk assessment.

Research and planning extra post

This magazine cover has give me an idea on how I want mine to look like, with the white background and all the colours on it, it looks like a traditional pop magazine and the prop (camera) makes it look original and fun.
