Music Magazine cover Photo (edited)

Here is my photo for my music magazine, I have stuck to my plan and selected the highest quality photo out of many that I took. I managed to achieve a high quality image with bright lighting as the weather was good. I have photoshoped the image; removing any uneven tones on skin and blemishes. I did not edit anything else as there was no need and the image did not have any flaws that was needed to be edited.

Photoshoot Plan

I have planned my photoshoot by creating a rough sketch to begin with as this will give me a visual idea of how I would like my photo to look like, I then annotated the image and wrote some detail of location, camera shot, positioning of model, colour scheme and the styling of the model. In my annotations, I have linked each detail of the photo to these elements and keeping to the theme of my magazine; vintage rock.

Second magazine analysis

My second magazine analysis is based on an issue of Kerrang as this was also one of the most popular magazines selected in my result of questionnaire. My second analysis is more detailed and I have added elements that i did not add on my first magazine analysis. It is a improved, more detailed and a refined analysis of the front cover.

Magazine cover analysis

I have analysed a front cover on Q magazine as this was one of the most popular magazines being read in a result from my questionnaire. I have analysed in detail of all the main elements that are being used on the front cover. I will consider using similar layouts in my own magazine using influence fom a proffesional and popular music magazine.I will also consider using young and informal text, similar to Q magazine as my taret market is aged between 16-18. The eye flow of the cover is generally an L shape as the fist thing you look at is 'Q' then the main image, then the large text 'GREEN DAY'

Mood board

I have created a mood board for my music magazine in order to get a feel of what image and themes my magazine will have. As my main genre theme is vintage rock, i have inckluded many artists that would be considered vintage rock and also images that are related to punk and rock such as the unuion jack and camden lock. i included many of my personal favourite bands as well as i know the music well and would like to feature them in my magazine. In terms of a colour scheme, there a lot of blacks, whites, blues and reda apparent ando so i will consider using these colours in my magazine.

I have tried to keep in styialisation of the front cover and so hace used similar fonts and colour scheme to keep a consistency.

Here is my real TOC which I made on Photoshop. I tried to keep to my plan as much as possible to create what I wanted to achieve.
