Final photoshoot

To produce my final photo shoot i used a digital s.l.r camera and mounted it on a tripod to makes sure my image was in focus and not blurry.For the lighting my friend and i uses lamps to point light where was wanted it ,to create shadows around him for the photoshoot.As you will see on some of the photos the background colour is blue on some of them, these are just images copied from the original and edited on lightroom 3 .By changing the originals it made the image viewed in a different way .The image will be viewed in a different way because by changing them from yellow to blue could represent the mood of the photo, yellow being happy blue being sad.

Front cover development

The person i chose to use for my photo-shoot was my friend jack , i felt that he had the right look and image for my magazine .I believe the image is in very good focus and i like the background with the main source of light centered on him .

The next two stages were picking in the design where to set the text on the page ( what looked good ).I first chose to just use black and white and different text for contrast.

overall i like the idea but i don't feel the spacing has been used to its best potential and looking at it i don't think the text links (the text looks out of place) .I also think the heading font does not fit with the magazine image (indie) looks like font for a magazine with the genre of drum and base or dubstep.

Font Ideas

The name of each text is the name of the style of font .

Fonts which i don't think will suite my magazine

1.Blackoak font is not the right font for my magazine because i believe it looks like the font for a newspaper.

2.Geneva cy font to me looks really basic and would appear boring to the consumers if they saw that type of font on my title.

Fonts which i think are possibilities

1.Brushed font i think looks very appealing to the eye , would stand out in colours like red or blue , would appeal to eye because the strokes are very strong.

2. Fail font could be used because it has a lot of detail on the lettering , this will highlight the name to the consumer "faze"

Magazine Name ideas

Magazine name ideas

1. uncut
2. drift
3. stage
4. faze
5. appeal
6. close up
7. live
8. image magazine
9. center
10. independant magazine

These are the name i deads i came up with , after asking friends and random people which name was best , i got Faze.I chose this name because it means to cause to be disturbed or disconcerted; daunt: The worst insults cannot faze him. I think my reader would like this because it shows they are proud of their identity to be indie and nothing can faze them and their image.This name will reflect the attitude of the magazine.

First photoshoot

These galleries

were my first attempt to find a photo for my front cover.The problem with these photos were , the models looked to young, the clothes they was wearing did'nt fit my reader (target market) and most the time my models didnt gaze to the camera.
