Main Task: Mock Designs

I have created a mock up of designs i would like to create for my final magazine spread. I have created a front cover, contents page and a double page spread. I will then transfer these ideas onto my final piece replacing the internet pictures with my own pictures i have taken.



Main Task: First Photographs


I first took a few test shots to see what i wanted. I was able to critise my own photos and then improve on my next photos i was about to take. I varied different poses and outfits to be able to pick from a range of choices, i have annotated pictures that i did not chose and given reasons why.These are examples of photographs that i wasn't able to use for my final piece due to the fact they was not creating the right image and impression i was after for my music magazine.

Main Task: Photo Ideas


I put together a table gathering ideas for my photoshoot. I used photo examples from the internet to show an idea of how i wanted my pictures to come out like. However after a thought process i had decided to change my model to a boy and do different poses.
