Change of Photoshoot date

i have decided to rearrange the photoshoot for some time in the christmas holidays, this is because me and my model find this easier to do and we wont be so rushed for time so we can get the perfect shot, i am currently working on some drafts of shots that we could do. once i have finshed this i will upload my progress.

Photoshoot & New Deadline..

I have orginised a Photoshoot at my house on Wednesday 15th December at 4:30pm
At first i will be using a white background - i will then try to do different backgrounds either inside my house or on location outside. My model will be Amelia Cooper, who will be modelling as Pixie Lott; as she is a well know artist and suites the target audience well because shes also a fashion icon.
I have an idea of how i would like my magazine to look, this is not for my final magazine this is just a draft of how i think it could look good:

We also have a New Deadline - because the School was closed due to Snow. Therefore our due date has been pushed back to the 7th January 2011.

Drafting..

I am currently working on my drafts, figuring out what i want on my front cover and what it will look like, and also working the anchorage around the dominant image to make it look like a proper magazine - make it look professional, when i have finshed with this i will upload my proggression.

Coming up with ideas..

I have now chosen a name for my magazine: VIBERANCE this is because it is an elegant font and will look appealing to my intended audience when finshed. The title is spelt wrong for a reason, it looks much better and you understand what the word means; better for the target audience. It's going to be size 104pt and i have not yet decided on a colour as im unsure of what my background will look like. I think this magazine will look perfect for 16-18 year old pop/rnb lovers.

Planning..

I am currently working on planning for my front cover; the title, the models i will be using, the layout & what i would want the image to look like. When i have done more of this in doing this i will upload my progress.

Fonts & Colours

Here i have been trying out multiple fonts and colours to help me pick the title font for the front cover, i am now doing a few brain storms of ideas. And a couple of drafts.

Audience Research - Questionnaire Results

Here is my results for my Questionnaire, it really enabled me to break intended audience down so i know exactly what they like and want from a magazine. As i have now finshed this i am currently doing some mindmapping and trying make up a good title for my magazine and suitable fonts and colours.
Audience Research

Audience Research

We have been set a task to gather information for our audience research so we get the target audience dead on. Here is a questionnaire i made earlier, i will go around to a few students/teachers of different ages and gender and gather that information to help me with my target audience for my magazine and what type of music genre i should do for my magazine. The presentation underneath has gone abit funny and mixed up but it normaly looks normal.

Contents Page For School Magazine

This is the contents page for the school magazine for the Preliminary Task
My contents page for the music magazine will be much much different as it will not be a rushed/draft piece of work and will be relevant to the magazine.

Front Cover Of School Magazine

This is the front cover of the school magazine as part of the Preliminary Task.For my music magazine i will use a mid-shot simular to this one as it fits in well with the magazine and you can see the dominant image clearly.
I will do more anchoridge on my Music Magazine and will change the font as it will be aimed at a different target audience.
My music magazine will be much more improved than this because i will have more time to get everything right and get it too look asif it is a real music magazine that you could sell in the stores.

Portfolio Outline

Preliminary Task..
As part of the course, i have to create two pages of a magazine (front cover and a rough contence page) as part of a School/College magazine; in preparation for the Music Magazine that is the more important part of the course. The School magazine is not worth any marks however if you don't complete it then i will be deducted 15 marks.

• Construction - I must then contruct my magazine and do things such as editing the pictures and making the font and the language appropreiate for the target audience, and make all alterations needed to the magazine until it is completeted.
