Final Images

I have taken a large variety of photographs but i have narrowed it down to these three images as i think they show the representation of the image very well as what i intended. To take these images I scheduled a plan which was:

• Find a date and time which would be suitable to everyone involved.
• Find a good location for the image
• Plan make-up and dress style (Modern day girl band / Pop)

All this planning worked well as it kept us organised and within 4-5 hours I had a variety of images which i was very happy with and i could see a fair amount of images that i wanted to use.

Draft Photographs

These are my draft photographs for my music magazine. I will now be moving on to taking my final photographs, the image i want to represent is a girl band.

The generic conventions of a music magazine

For my main task of creating a music magazine i will include the following convention on my front cover:

• House Style
• Masthead/Logo
• Main Image
• Anchorage text
• Date, Barcode and price
• Buzzwords
• Main cover lines
• Banners
• Direct address
• Celebrities names to attract people to the magazine
• Extra cover lines to give even more for the audience to read

Reflection of construction on pre-lim task.

To do this task i had to use photoshop, at first i hadn't a clue on how to work with it but gradually over time i think i have become quite confident with using it and can create good quality pieces of work; i have become more confident with using layers, the magic wand and working with text. I thought that my house style has worked very well, as it matches and works well together. The location that i used was ideal as i did a school magazine and my location is in a school, for my next piece i will have to put more planning into a specific space in my location. My planning for the images of the magazine was planned quite well as i had to plan ahead a few things, e.g. to use younger pupils i asked permission from their teacher a few days before so they could be excused from their lessons for a few minutes. Also making sure that the camera i needed to use was reserved for me and also fully charged so there would be no delays. For my next piece i will ensure that i look at lots of varieties of style models before i start my planning to give me some ideas and inspiration, unfortunately i did not look at more than two style models so my ideas and planning was not in different varieties so i made myself very limited to a style as i did not look further into what other style models i could of referred to.
