Photo Planning & Sketches
For my front cover of my pop music magazine, I want to create something eye catching, I will do this through photoshop, I might take a side head shot and edit the face by adding electronic devices such as wires, to symbolises that music flows throughout the body, in addition it can also indicate that music expresses peoples emotions through the beat and lyrics as it can create a mood and atmosphere of their situation explaining what their going through an example of this is Taylor Swift and her music or Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.
Furthermore, I could do the same photoshop idea but having the model face forward and using half the face, this is to create mystery for the readers and make them want to buy the magazine.
Another idea that I have is to use a mid body shot from head to hips facing towards the camera, to catch the readers attention, I will have a white background and to make it easier to edit later on, on photoshop, I want to make it unrealistic the front cover, so that it does not look like a typical music magazine, I will do this by photoshopping her arms out so that it will catch the audiences attention as it will look unusual but intriguing.
My Sketches
Image Ideas
Front Cover Ideas
For the Contents page,
I want to keep it simple, maybe use a white background again just like for my front cover picture, of go to a canal, or use a brick wall as a back drop, I will take some shots displaying the music artist that is having the double page spread, but without extreme photoshop compared to the cover photo, so that they can see a clearer version of her, but I will also include things like little props that presents the new music artist and her personality e.g fashion, instruments, hobbies she does.
The Double page spread,
For the double page spread I will be taking about 5 or 6 Photos, one that will be big and take the whole one page and the other 5 will be little ones with different and playful poses showing the music artist personality.
