Organisation of model/costumes - Front cover

For my front cover, I want a medium close up of my model with her maintaining direct address.

I want her to be dressed in black as it is a simple, classic colour that will look effortless and stylish with an indie vibe to her look.

Organisation of model/Drafting/Planning of magazine and photography - Cover star photoshoot

I did a photoshoot with the model I am planning on using for my front cover and main article. These are just the photos for the front cover/contents page.

I wanted her to be dressed in black as it is classic/simple and stylish and doesn't distract attention away from her face. Her hair was tied back so that it was away from her face and her make-up kept fairly natural. 

I had the idea that she held the word 'love' as it portrays innocence and is something you'd expect from a girl of her age. 

Planning of photography - support artist photo shoot

I am currently in the process of planning a photo shoot for my supporting artists.

The photo shoot will take place on Friday the 28th of February and it will involve two boys, that will act as a boy band and another boy that will be a solo singer. 

I want the boys to all have a 'mysterious' vibe about them to make the reader curious and want to read more about them. This involves fairly dark but clear lighting, dark clothing and good facial expressions. They do not necessarily have to look directly at the camera.

Drafting of magazine layout - Masthead idea #1

This was my first idea for a masthead. I do not feel this attempt was successful as it does not suit the style of the magazine I am going for and also looks fairly childish and basic. I also feel that this masthead does not 'jump out' at the reader or attract much attention so I definitely am not going to use it in my final design.

Organisation/Drafting and Planning - Summary

Drafting/planning - masthead font ideas

These are the ideas I have had so far for my magazine masthead. The ones I like the best are 'Chocolate Dealer' 'Adam Gorry' and 'KG royals' so I am going to create some draft models and decide which one I like the best and which one looks the most effective.

Drafting/Planning magazine layout - Colour Scheme

These are the main 3 colours I will be using in my magazine.
Pink is a very feminine colour and young women are my target audience so using these types of colours will attract females. The magazine will be a classy, girly style and I think these colours, along with white, will be well suited and keep the magazine looking well presented.
