Poses

When I am picking for the models who I want to be in my shoot I am not looking for just a beautiful face because it is very irrelevant I am looking for those who are able to give me a successful outcome. There is a lots thing required to create a sensational image if you look at high fashion print modeling or television commercial stars they are able to pose in ways that emit great emotion and connect to the audience, therefore I will need to learn there ways so that my models will be able to emit a proper modeling poses for the camera.
I started by selecting ten different modeling poses from fashion magazines and warned each model to practice each one until they felt they have them all down pat. They posed along side the image to compare their modeling poses to the professionals.
Also I warned that along side the pose there must be a facial expression – and that little bits of the body must be kept kaput such as little things as “keep your hands under control”. For I have noticed that any pose can be lifeless and unimaginative without any visible facial expression.
I also told my soon to be models that if they are able to develop any of these poses they are free to as long as they are professional. Body language and facial expressions are natural but the image I am projecting might not be exactly as they are and here I gentle told my models I will be there guidance.

Trial: Photoshoot

For my magazine i have finally decided on the articles from Viewing R&B Magazine's and BBC Music magazine and Jazz times magazine.
The outfit that i suggested that all my models wore for teusday was smart causal wear which could be for the women a shirt/ polo with a skirt and for the men a shirt polo jeans or trousers.

Audience research

Asked my audience which were mainly teenagers and a few adults which of the slogan and title best suit my magazine; they agreed that the square was perfect and surprisenly chose E=MC2 when i favored are you square enogh? fortunately the title are you square enogh seems rather mature.

Front cover (flatplan)

This is the flatplan of my magazine.
Yellow boxes: Information about the magazine such as date and issue/ writer. bottow right barcode/ price
Purple area: Background - abstract or gradient depending on emotion.
Blue area: Text cover lines and main title ( articles)
Green boxes: Top/ bottom banner exposeing extra's.
Orange box: Exclusiv/ world exclusive/ plus
Light blue: subheaddings
red box: Masthead
Black shadow: Main image

On the cover lines there will be images so that the multiple audience may not be driven away by the singular image that will try 2 attract all audience. The theme is going to be colour full yet be able to target boh sex.
the colour hopefull will not target only the hip-R&B tribes and may be dimmered to give it a adult and mature tone.

The square

I have added my main image into an abstract gradient background.
I thought to my self that a medium shot is very regular in magazines and would be of use as because there would be a higher intensity in eye contact, and effect.
I then contested that when i asked several teenagers of which they preferred.
I then decided i needed a quality text producing software and figured the adobe illustrator which i played with to create a samlpe font- which was a sample font- i decided to make a comic style text as an example of a Masthead.
But then i needed to choose a font style and that was when i found the perfect text both my choose as well as my audiences preference.
The responses i got where that the text was ideal to the style because it was classy because of its extremely long Q tale.
I found that music magazine fonts are usually bold, and contested it once again with my audience favoring my hidden ideal text.
