Weekly Update - 10.02.17

Last week I created 3 different flat plans to decide and help with how I should layout my front cover for my music magazine. Using slideshare for the first time I transferred my powerpoint onto the software and then embedded it onto my blog which was the quickest way to display my ideas. I also made a plan and researched ideas for my photoshoot to help my model with getting the best picture for the front cover. Finally we done the photoshoot with Danielle my model and I found out took 540 pictures! Going through all of them I finally found the one and began using photoshop to create the front cover. Byeee!

Photoshoot for the front cover




Below are the photos i had taken which i need to choose only 1 from:


Photoshoot ideas

For the front cover I have researched some ideas for my model. I ensured they were looking at the camera for direct address aswell as them being mid shots as it is a front cover.

Photoshoot Plan

Model:
Danielle ('Amelia Marie')

Props:
I do not think I will use any props for the front cover although I will try and incorporate for example a microphone which relates to the music theme or some flowers.

Location:
For the location/background of my photoshoot I will most likely shoot in the studio with a plain white background with studio lights to ensure the lighting is good with the least amount of shadows, this also means that the focus will mainly be on the model (the music artist) for the front cover.

Outfit/Clothing:
Due to my magazine genre being a pop magazine the colour scheme is quite bright and fun already so there will be two outfits. One will consist of a white skirt with a grey off the shoulder top and another will be a yellow with blue trousers. Mixing these outfits will also compliment the magazines colour schemes however it depends which captures the photo best which will help decide which image to use as the lighting may adjust the shades of her clothing.

Flat Plans - Front Cover

Below is a slideshare presenting the flat plans I have created and am considering for my front cover
