Research and Planning: Magazine Progress #2

Research and Planning: Location Recee

Research and Planning: Model Test Shots

These are the three people that I am using for my magazine. I decided to add a female singer into the band as I think that the target audience will connect to that instead of an all male band. The reason that I chose to use Grace as the lead singer because she is very glamerous. The reason that I chose Billy and Tom is because I think they both have a certain look that works well in the rock genre, also they are both interested in this style of music. Another good thing is that Billy actually plays the drums professionally and I could use this in my photoshoot.

Research and Planning: Fonts

Bands all have a certain font to represent them as a band. I have chosen three examples of bands of the same genre, they are each very different and recognisable. For my band I think that I would use a font like the one, 'Panic at the Disco' uses. I have chose to use a font like this because I think it looks nice and I think that it will work for the style and genre of the band.

This is the font that I will be using for my band. I chose it off of the website DaFont.

Research and Planning: Magazine progress

Research and Planning: Front cover research

 These are the styles of magazine that I will be basing mine on. In my magazine I am featuring a band, but because problems with models I have decided to just have one member of the band on the front cover, such as the lead singer. I have chosen to do this because I think it will look better on the front cover and it will give me a variety of shots. By doing this I can focus on that main central image and have my main cover focusing on the lead singer connecting with the audience. Like on the examples used I will be using a medium close up with high light, my model will be using direct address and be the focus of the interview or article.

Research and Planning: Double Page Spread Research

 This double page spread is an interview with the band All Time Low, this interview is more about the band instead of recent tours or albums.

 This is in the news section of Kerrang! magazine. This double page spread is all about the recent news and gossip of what's going on in the world of Rock.

 This is a story about a band and the recent news regarding them.

This is a story about the news that the band Paramore being used for the title song in the latest Twilight film.

Research and Planning: Risk Assessment

Research and Planning: Costume and Props list

For my front cover I will be using a mid shot of one of my models saying that she is the leas singer f the band. For this shoot I will be focusing on the style used in the pictures shown.To achieve this I will use high lighting in a mid shot. For the costumes I will use a glamerous dress and make her hair and make up match. No props should be needed.

For my double page spread I will use an image like the one above which will show all the band members. I will use highlight, but I think that I will stick to the black and white theme of the picture. The clothes that I will use will just be average, everyday clothes. No props will be needed.

Research and plannings: Photograph research

For my images in my magazine, I want to use an iconic Rock artist like Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan,  Nirvana or someone similar to focus my pictures on. Another style I am thinking of using is of Florence Welch as she is regarded as indie/rock and I love her style and think that it would look good in the magazine. I would try to set up my image in a similar way to make it look authentic and give it a better effect. I think that this will look good and this type of style is regularly used in magazines.

These are the type of images I am looking at recreating for my magazine.
