Research and Planning-Model Makeup

Below I have some photographs of my music magazine model wearing different styles of make-up that she may possibly wear for my photo shot:



I think the make-up in the third photo would be most appropriate, the red lipstick and dark eye makeup looks effective and also stands out well.

Research and Planning-Masthead Fonts

  As I'm about to begin the production process of my magazine cover I researched some fonts that I would use for my magazine masthead. I downloaded the fonts from 'dafont.com' and made them red on a black background which I will use for my masthead.


 However I think the mast head may possibly look better and more clear as white on a black background.

This week I will:

Get all location and model forms filled out.

Take photographs at the weekend.

Research and Planning-Plan for Location of Photoshoot

This weekend coming I will take the photographs for my music magazine. I have several possible locations that I will use. One location is in Werneth Low, Hyde. The location is by a decaying brick wall and over looks Manchester. I will take the photos in a place similar to this:


Another possible location is at the back of a row of shops in Denton. The area has a very derelict and urban feel to it, there are a row of garages that are gratified and seem to be wearing away. I think this would be suitable for my genre as it's often similar looking locations used in indie/rock magazines.

A third location that I may use is an abandoned were house just outside of Manchester city centre.
