Photoshoot plan for front cover

Photoshoot Plan

View more documents from guest0f911b.

This is the photoshoot plan for the front cover of my music magazine. This will help me to organize my photoshoot. I also made a back up photoshoot if my original photoshoot does not go to plan. For example, if the model is ill on the day of the shoot or another problem arises. It explains what is needed in the shoot and if there are any editing which needs to be done on Adobe Photoshop (the use of photoshop has to be kept to a minimum).

Mock up of front cover

Mock Up Of Front Cover

View more documents from guest0f911b.

This is the mock up for my front cover of my music magazine. It includes the colour scheme which my target audience thought was the best out of the options. It is also in the size which it will be in for my music magazine. It follows the eye flow, a 'C' shape, which is often used in other music magazines such as 'Q' and 'Kerrang'. I tried to have the text in the desired font however, it didn't work.

This is the first front cover analysis of the magazine 'Kerrang!'. This briefly states the conventions the magazine uses to attract its target audience.

Moodboard

This is the moodboard for my music magazine. This shows the feeling my magazine is suppose to give out.
As my music magazine is based upon rock pop, indie and alternative, my moodboard mainly has artist from those genres such as: Kasabian, Kelly Clarkson and The Script. The moodboard also contains features of an album from artist in these genres such as: The Hoosiers, Asian Kung-Fu Generation (the cartoons) and the All American Rejects.
It is also linked to my music magazine by some of the colour schemes as well as the font mentioned. It mainly has the colours: pink, blue and black featured as from the target market results this is the most popular colour scheme. This shows that this moodboard has the same brand as my music magazine. The font featured in the top-left corner is the font for the masthead of the magazine.
The moodboard also features some of the fashion which has been influenced by these genres, including: colourful hoodies, checkered dresses and band T-shirts as well as band merchandise. The game 'Rock Band 2', contains songs from artists catorgorized in one of these genres, which is why it is also featured in this moodboard.

Contents page: final version

This is the final version of my contents page for my school magazine. I have changed some of the features, for example, the hue and saturation of the background.

The background of the contents page used to be brighter; as shown in the first draft. Now the background is dimmer so the white text can be seen. I changed this by lowering the lighting of the background, giving me this result.

I changed the size of the text as it was too big. This made my contents page look too complicated. By changing the text to a smaller size allowed the text to breathe and flow easily.

Not only did I change the size of the text, I also changed the colour of it as this can show that it relates to my front cover. The colours used on my front cover shows the magazines brand and so in order to show that they relate I had to keep the colour scheme the same.

I added a shadow behind the text 'CONTENTS'. This made it stand out from the sub-headings and other text.

I finally made the images smaller and make a gap between the edge of the magazine and the images. This also allowed the magazine to breathe.

Target Market research and results

Target Market Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire I created and used to find out facts about my target market - their ideal music magazine. Doing this helps me get the idea of what my music magazine should be like in order for my target market to like it and want to purchase it. I have organised it as a tally chart as this is less confusing and it will save resources.

Target Market Results

These are the results I got from my target market. In total I have asked 24 people their opinion on their favourite magazine. I put them into a pie chart as this makes it easier for the results to be shown. These results will help me make my music magazine suitable my target market's taste and so will make a successful magazine.

Music magazine: Project Plan

Music Magazine Project Plan

This is the plan of the music magazine which i will follow until the end of the project. This will help me complete the project by the time of the deadline. According to this project plan, the project should be completed by late march, 2010 and so is to be handed in at that time. It would then be sent to the examiner to await further marking.
I made this using microsoft excel and copying it on to microsoft word.

Contents page: first draft

This is the first draft of my contents page which was also made using Adobe Photoshop elements 4.0.

This was made using the same principle as in the front cover. First of all, it follows the eye order as well as the rule of thirds.
However, there are many faults in this draft of the contents page. For example, there is too many text on a one A4 sized contents page. This makes it looks like the page is 'suffocating'. This is also given by the size of the text as it is too big.
The colour scheme of the text does not fit the front cover of the magazine. This won't show that the front cover and the contents page relate and can confuse the reader.
Overall, this is a poorly made contents page, however, it is the first draft and so an improved version will be uploaded shortly.
