My photos vs Inspiration photos

Here are some of the photos I took with a side-by-side comparison of the inspiration pictures for them

Final photoshoot cover sheet

 

These are images from the photoshoot with my models. We tried to capture a variety of angles and also use many different backgrounds to give a wide variety of images and compositions to choose from for my final covers. 

I am planning on using the image with both of my models as the opening image for the pop up on my website.

For these photos I used a high quality camera to allow for better quality images overall, to improve from the ones I took when I was taking test shots.

Some of these photos also have a black and white filter on them in order to see and experiment with what other moods the photos could be given by using a filter - i find that the black and white images look almost nostalgic, but I will not be using these for my front cover images, I will be using a coloured image.

Possible name and fonts

I have decided that “Record” is a possible name for my magazine because it can mean multiple things related to music: artists recording music, a record deal, record breaking, vinyl record etc. but i am not 100% set on this name just yet

These are some of the fonts I was experimenting with but my favourite one is the fifth one (3rd row down)

Planning: Summation of Findings

 Codes I have identified that I will try to adopt in my work:

- Direct address

- Different masthead colours to compliment the colours in the image

- Not too crowded with text

- Nothing covering models face

- Model often centred in the image

- Model covering some of the masthead

Mood board for front cover photos

This is a mood board for the artist that will inspire one of my covers, Tate McRae

This is the mood board for the artist inspiration for my other cover, Jorja Smith

Generic Research: Case Studies

 

Reasons for choosing each case study:

1. Target audience / intertextuality

2. Image pose/composition 

3. Aesthetic / background
