Equipment

This is a list of all of the equipment that I used in order to create my magazine and take the photos to include in the magazine. This helps me to understand the functions of each piece of equipment I used as well as giving proof on what I will be using. 




This is a video I created of the functions of the camera that I used to take the photos for my magazine. I talk about the parts of the camera that I used.

Props/Costumes

I made this video to show the props and costumes I plan on basing my photo-shoot images around. It is very helpful to plan out the type of clothes and props that will be in your magazine as the photos are quite a focal part of a magazine, so planning them will help to ensure they are fitting of your genre.

Contact Sheet

These images are my contacts sheets, so they are a collection of the photos I took during my photo-shoot and will use in my magazine. Inevitably I will not use all of these images, there are a select few that are chosen to feature in my magazine. This is a very good way of presenting all of the images I have taken in a neat, ordered and visible way, it allows me to clearly see what pictures I want and what pictures I do not want. Moreover, it is proof that the photos I have taken are all taken by me and just general proof that I have had a photo-shoot.

Model Release Form

This is the Model Release Form that my model signed to say that she grants me the right to use her photos in my magazine. It is very important that I got her to sign this so I was allowed to use her photos. The video is of her signing it, and the image is the signed sheet.

Audience Profile

I created this to give a very general and stereotypical view of what my audience for my magazine would be like/look like. I give a general over view of what sort of people would read my magazine and then a fake example of a type of person I would expect. Then there is a small collage of pictures to represent the audience.

Contents Ideas

Contents Ideas

These are the potential things that I plan to include on my contents page for my magazine. This is helpful as it means I can simply look at this when creating my contents page to see what I could include on it.

Colours

When choosing the colour scheme for my magazine I took inspiration from other punk rock magazines to see the colours that they used. Reds, yellows, blacks, whites and blues were very popular, so then it was simply a case of choosing three of these colours to repetitively use throughout my magazine. I knew that I would include the colour black as it is key to the genre and style of the magazine, moreover, I feel it is important to have such a basic bases colour in the scheme.

I turned to my survey results to decide which colour scheme I would choose, as the audience are the people who would read the magazine so it is important to make sure it is tailored to them as well. The results showed that red, white and black were the most popular colours, so I decided to go with them. Black, yellow and white was the second most popular and I considered it, however, I chose red as red was more favoured over yellow, but it would also show up more. 

 

This explains the colour scheme that I chose for my magazine and why I chose these three main colours. I use my survey to help me decide and general inspiration from the music genre. This allows me to develop an idea of what I will base my magazine around when designing it.
