Production log

Today I took some pictures of my model. The pictures that I took were for my front cover.

 I didn't use this shot for my front cover because she wasn't looking at the camera. Out of all the RnB magazines I had looked at the majority of them had the model looking directly into the camera to seduce the reader and to draw their attention.

 I decided to use this shot of my model because it was a long shot. I wanted to use a close up of my model so that it would draw my target audience in. This is what I had seen from all the other RnB magazines I looked at. They used close up of the models, this is why I made my model wear make up so that in the close up her face wouldn't be plain.

I decided not to use this picture because she looked too innocent. I wanted the picture on my front cover to be very seductive and tempting so that it linked to my title. I also wanted to have my model in a position that made her look powerful,

Music magazine brief

I have now started to work on my music magazine task. To do this task we have to create a music magazine with a front page, a contents page and a double page spread. We also have to put a minimum of four original picures within the magazine. Before creating our magazine we hade to initial research on other music magazines including the front page, contents page and a double page spread. We have to create a spider diagram of all the ideas that we have for our magazine such as; the name, the story, the colour scheme and the typography etc. To be able to make certain decisions about target audience and other things we had to create a survey asking people things about the music that they are interested in and how they obtain their music.
