Magazine Update

I have changed the font and added some coverlines to the cover. I had to change the shape of the competition puff as I had some difficulty adding text to it.

Front Cover In Progress

This is the start of my magazine front cover. I think that the font will be changed to fit the genre more and to come up with a name for the magazine.
I need to add coverlines, a puff, images etc onto the cover to make it look more like a magazine.

Magazine Images

For my magazine I have taken pictures of posters of well known musicians to add to my magazine.                                                                                                                                                                          
This image I will put on my front cover in contrast with my other photograph.

I edited this image because I only needed the one person. I edited the background colour to match my other images background so that the backgrounds blend in on my front cover.

Magazine Photoshoot

For my photograph of the band which the double page spread will be about, I had to edit the three separate images together. This is my fist attempt which I didn't like. The models are all different sizes so the photo looks weird.













This is my second attempt. I tried to make the models similar sizes, however the model on the right is still slightly bigger than the others. I didn't have enough time to re-edit this image, so this is the image that I will use for my double page spread.

Photography Inspiration

The majority of the photographs that I have looked at of bands have been posed and taken in a studio. Although there are quite a few photographs taken outside of the studio and some naturalistic shots. These naturalistic shots are usually of the band performing live. The photographs of the artists I have looked at tend to be low key - it depends on what area of rock the bands are.


  • Shot - medium shot. This photograph is a typical band shot as it's a medium shot and the entire band are doing similar things to make the photograph look tidy and not all over the place. The photograph is in black and white. 




  • Shot - Medium Long Shot. Like the previous photograph the background is plain which creates no distractions from the band. Also the clothing items are colour coordinated so there aren't any clashes in the photo.                                                                                                                                                  




  • Shot - Long Shot. Unlike the previous images, this photograph is a naturalistic one (not posed for). The background links in with the image so it's not entirely distracting.       
  • In Kerrang! magazine they have a shots page where it shows you the images of the posters. You can see that the majority of the photographs have a plain background and are mostly posed for but there are some naturalistic shots. Most of the these images are a medium shot.
