Photoshoot

Last monday I hosted a photoshoot at the school, I bought in 5 of my friends from outside of school. Here are a few examples of the photos I took:

Photos I have taken

I have taken some photos at previous concerts and I thought I could use some of them in my magazine. 

Behind the scenes of photoshoot

On monday i did a photo shoot for my magazine. I had 6 models in to help me and they all allowed me to take photos to use. I have 3 main people for my front cover who will pose as a boy band, I decided this because it it different and there are a lot of indie connotations with bands. I also have 2 girls to go in my contents page and one boy. I used girls and boys to add variation and to ensure I am appealing to the widest target market I can.

Lesson 13

I continued adding to my contents page by adding some titles and substitute pictures. I also put in some substiture text where i am going to put all my text on the contents page. This helps me design the page as Igo and I can just put in the right text when I need to. I need to think of a name for my magazine so I can also start to design the logo or name to be put in the conrer of my magazine. I used the colour red to make it stand out as many exiting magazines currently use this technique.

Draft Proposal

This is my draft proposal for my music magazine. It is a summary of what I am thinking of basing my ideas on and what I would like my magazine to symbolise and who it would be aimed at. I will type this up in more deatail after I have got feedback off other people who have read it.

Lesson 12

This lesson we started to make the out line for our contents page. I used video tutorials to show me how to use the programme. I need to continue makin the frame work and plan my design so it best suits my target audience. 

Lesson 11

This lesson I added a lot to my blog. I uploaded y codes and conventions and institutions. I also did a blog tidy up so my presentation is better and I was able to navigate it easier. I also looked into what I need to add to my blog for example I need to analyse my responses to my questionnaire. 

Institution

This is a slide show about the institution that produce NME, a music magazine. This is talking about how often they produce the mgazines and why. Also, what else they do to keep people interested.

Audience

I Researched into the purpose of a music magazine for the audiences and why they are produced. I need this to look at my magazine ideas as i need to know what the purpose of my magazine is.

Conventions of Music Magazines.

This is the general codes and conventions of music magazines. I did some research into what is meant to be and what is generally on the front covers of magazines and why. This has helped me to see what I need to lay my magazine out like to look successful.
