Moderator,
this is my blog which I've been adding to throughout this coursework. The music magazine I've made is in the hip-hop/alternative genre.
Below you'll find my finished music magazine cover, contents page and double page spread as well as the evaluation questions, research and planning, college magazine and the tasks I had to do before creating this.
My blog will start with my finished college magazine, go on to the evaluation, then research and planning and finally my college magazine.

Research and Planning: New Magzine Front Cover

I decided to scrap my other magazine front cover as it looks too childish, this new, simpler design, once developed further, should give a much cleaner and professional feel to my music magazine

Research and Planning: Model Poses (Initial Ideas)




I want my pictures to be taken in a natural and 'spontaneous' looking way. I think this will suit my magazine as the genre isn't well suited to a 'classic photoshoot style' where the model is posing evidently. Here are a few examples of the look I will be going for when taking the pictures for my magazine.
 The natural environment and pose make this picture look as if the model (Mike Skinner) doesn't know the photograph isn't going to be taken. I think this is really effective as it shows a lot more of the models personality and personal preferences than a white room and an un-natural pose.
 This picture also looks improvised as the model (Mac Miller) looks as if he's going about his daily business and the photograph has been taken as he's doing this


These models are posing, but the natural environment once again makes the photograph look natural
