Contents Page - Image Alteration

I have decided to only use one photo from the shoot with Lee and Declan for my contents page when I initially wanted to use three, as I think it looked too crowded with three photos and it was pointless when they all looked very similar. I can now also make this picture bigger so it will stand out more on the page.

Edited Images - Francesca 2nd Photo Shoot

I edited these two images on Photoshop of Francesca's 2nd photo shoot as they were my favourite ones; I think these will look the most effective. I again changed the brightness, contrast and vibrance to make them look more defined so they will stand out more on the double page.

Edited Girl Band Images

I chose my favourite images from the girl band photo shoot and edited them on Photoshop to make them look more professional (I changed the brightness, contrast and vibrance). I may not use all of these images in my magazine, but these were my favourite so I decided to edit them all and then I will decided which ones will look the most effective.

Photo Shoot - Double Page Spread Extra Images

I conducted yet another photo shoot with Francesca to gather extra images to add to my double page spread. I took the pictures in the studio to create the impression Francesca was recording her album, which is predominantly what the article is about. This will also give my magazine a musical vibe because the images distinguish for the reader that Francesca is a singer and not a fashion model. I plan to place these images inbetween the text, however this idea may change.

Photo Shoot

I conducted another photo shoot to gather images for my front cover and contents page. I decided to use a 'girl band' as I think this will make my magazine look more musical as opposed to fashion, and I have only used one other girl so far. The girls I chose to be in the band are Isabella Hennessy, Martha Leeming and Helena Smith. They are 16-17 years old so fit with my target demographic, and I believe they all have a cool, edgy look that fits with the genre of my magazine. I think the fact they all have blonde hair links them so they look even more like a girl band. I decided I wanted them to pose with a guitar as this will give my magazine even more of a musical feel, and really displays them as a girl band as opposed to a group of models.

Double Page Main Image

I chose this photo for my main double page spread image as I think it looked best in black and white, and Francesca's pose reflects the cool vibe of the magazine. I like how she is looking directly at the camera because it will help the reader to engage further with her. I think this image was the one that looked best on a double page spread as I think it looks the most professional. I also think a black and white image fits perfectly with my colour scheme, and makes the image look more slick and polished.

Edited Front Cover

I decided to edit my front cover slightly by adding a box to the bottom to break it up. I think this gives it more of a look of a music magazine as it has allowed me to add more images of my girl band, and I believe that music magazines tend to look more busy than fashion magazines which this added box helps to do.
