Creating the front cover of my music magazine

Choosing my image for my front cover and editing it
I have made her hair and her features on her faces stand out to give her a more powerful and dominant look.


I then put it onto photoshop to try it out with the masthead and see if this was going to be the correct image to use for my front cover
INSERTING MASTHEAD AND MAIN ARTICLE,
Yes i am happy with how the masthead fits with the picture

Now editing the barcode with the eraser to get rid of the white bit.

MY PHOTOS FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

Here are the images i have taken for my music magazine using my model Bella.
___________________________________________________________


PHOTOS- ONE




Here in my first photoshoot are the first slide of photos, they didnt start off two well but i felt they got much  better towards the end.

Bella started off wearing a smart black blazer then we went onto a different look of wetlook leggings and a leather jacket.

The location of the photoshoot started off in my house then moved round the back to the garages.

PHOTOS- TWO. DIFFERENT LOCATION





These images will go on the double page spread i think.

PHOTOSHOOT TWO- DIFFERENT LOCATION




Photoshoot two-
Location: In my bedroom against white wall, found that the lighting was really good here and made it look like a professional shoot.
Bella changed into a big cardigan and a hat to create the urban feel/look. Really like these images, i think one of these may be the front cover.

PHOTOSHOOT TWO- PHOTOS TWO 







write about photoshoot.... Similar to photoshoot three however included the guitar to fit in with the 'music magazine' and represent the urban look still wearing the hat...

Location: In my bedroom against white wall, found that the lighting was really good here and made it look like a professional shoot.

PHOTOSHOOT TWO- PHOTOS THREE








Here we tried using a hairdryer for the front cover image, it didn't work too well. The photos are blurry as the hairdryer made her laugh and move about, even on the sport mode of the camera it wasnt working. Bella then changed into a green jumper for a softer look compared to the wet look leggings and leather jacket.

Location: In my bedroom against white wall, found that the lighting was really good here and made it look like a professional shoot.

MY PHOTOS- I feel i have taken enough photos for my magazine, i have enough and some ideas of which ones to use for my front cover, contents page and my double page spread.

MY PHOTOSHOOTS FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE


PHOTOSHOOT IDEAS

I plan to have my photoshoot based around my road which is off of the seafront because it has many places that i would like to use.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ss1+3be&hl=en&ll=51.53074,0.752553&spn=0.002883,0.010525&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=11.2274,43.110352&vpsrc=6&hnear=Southend-on-Sea+SS1+3BE,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=17

The first set of photos i am going to take will be outside the back of my house by the garages,

I plan to have another photoshoot in my bedroom against the white wall because i need to get my front cover page and will take close up shots of bella i also want more photos to be featured in the 2 page spread and maybe even the contents page.

Another photoshoot i have chosen is the side of my house against the wall  just incase i am not happy with any of the photos taken before, and this background will give me the effect of a brick wall.
