CONTENT 2ND DRAFT

COVER DRAFT

OKAY............... THIS IN MY DRAFT FOR THE COVER PAGE...............

THE SECOND DRAFT ...OF MY CONTENT PAGE......

the first look......of my content page....:)

I'M ON THE PROCESS AND HERE IS THE FIRST LOOK.....:)

Photo-shoot

While taking my photos for my magazine I need to consider what the image will portrays and what its trying to say. However there will be  an original touch  to it.

Pictures: For the front cover the focus of the page will be my model therefore keeping my background  a plain color to bring the attention to my model. The photograph used on my double page spread will be focused on both my model and features of the background so a to give it a more story line look. And for the content page I'd like to have a more collage work between pictures and text. And I’d like to include as many artists as possible to make it look more realistic and give it a  different look.

Lighting: A majority of the lighting used will be unnatural however I like pictures with a more natural lighting therefore I may have a mixture of both kind of lighting. I would like to use an overhead lighting on some of the pictures of my model to create a soft, glowing, glamorous  and a bright look. 

Make up and props: my model will be wearing make-up and hair will be well presented however a more natural look. The model's clothes will be fashionable but in contras with the background to bring out more of the picture. If I choose to use props I am likely to include a guitar or a

Setting: I am likely to use several locations for my photo-shoot. For my double page spread the photographs will be taken outside, so that there will be a more natural lighting and hopefully a good weather to get the effect which I want for the magazine.

FONTS .........

CAN  U PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE WHICH FONT SHOUD I USE FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE COVER......

     (A )                          ( B)

Just the look.......;)

 FOR THE COVER PAGE I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE MAIN IMAGE OF THE ARTIST SO I MAY USE A WHITE OR PLAIN BACKGROUND  AND AS FOR THE CONTENT PAGE I'D LIKE IT TO BE BALANCE BETWEEN PICTURES AND TEXT TO MAKE IT LOOK ORGANISE BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT FILLS UP ALL THE SPACES TO MAKE IT WORTH BUYING
FOR  THE DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THE ARTIST FROM THE FRONT COVER  PICTURES AND AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HERSELF WOULD FILL IN THE ENTIRE DOUBLE PAGE.AS FOR THE BACKGROUND  I'D LIKE TO HAVE VERY NATURAL SCENERY TO GIVE IT A  STORY LIKE LOOK........
