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.

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.

Drafting/Planning of photography/ Organisation - My model/artist


Here are two pictures that I have recently taken of my model. The pictures are not of the highest quality but they show her look and gives an impression of the look of the magazine. 
She is undoubtedly pretty, and her look can vary and change a lot so I will be able to style her in any way and it will still suit her and look good. 
For the front cover, I want the picture to be a medium close up of my model and I think I want her to be dressed in black, as black tends to look effortless and classy and that is how I want my magazine to be portrayed.

Drafting/Planning/research into similar products - Ideas for magazine titles

So far my ideas for a magazine title have been very similar to the name of my artist. I want something related to music like an instrument or musical term.
The name that I think sounds the best for a magazine is 'Harmony' which was originally one of the ideas for the artist name.
I am going to do further research into music magazine names to give me more inspiration for an idea.
