Research and Planning:Social feedback

here is the first two comments on my blog as you can see the second person to post gave constructive critasims to my magazine like about the price it isnt shown anywhere on the magazine

Research and planning model test shots

From the selection of images chosen I would choose picture one because of the rock star look with the long sweeping fringe

Research and Planning:Shot Idea's

Here are a selection of images I have found in magazines, which gave me idea's to what I could possible use or recreate for my magazine. The first image shows a bold stance of Lewis Hamilton. I like the image because it has been photoshoped onto a new background and shows dominance that conveys to the audience, I would like to do something similar for my front cover.
The second image is a four picture display taken randomly while conducting an interview, I do like it because its not fake like been directed into positions, this covey  to the public the real celebrity what they could associate to.
Third image I like is due to the editing of images being croped giving it a spin on the usual photo editing
The film strip I really like again for the uniqueness of the editing it was taken while conducting  an interview showing the different emotions of the celebrity.
i chosen this shot because of the outside location, the man in the center of the image showing importance, even though its a sunny day a second light source  being used hence the shadow to illuminate the mans face. i will need to add a second light source for the double page spread images since the location is down in the woods   

Research and Planning: Location weather report

As you can see both Sunday and Monday are going to be dry and sunny perfect conditions for natural light when taking the images. with a small change of rain on Monday the light snow hopefully will not be a problem

Research and Planning: Review of work so far and improvements needed

After talking to my tutor about the amount, quality and the direction of my work, I have decided to redesign my magazine to the styles of Classic Rock and Mojo music magazines. Both magazines use distinctive bold lettering in a serif style. With a two tone colour scheme hight lighting the cover stories. The layout of the magazine is centred around the photo both with a dark background, each has a masthead banner and cover stories down each side.


I am going to take the basic layout idea and adapt it to my magazine front cover, after creating a basic draft I will adapt the font and colour scheme to the content page and double page spread.

Research and Planning: Possible Interview questions to ask for double page spread

Befor joining python and the plane how did you start your carea
If you had an elephent where would you hide it
If you could meet anyone dead or alive who would it be
Stranded on a desert island what three things would you bring
If you did a duet who would it be?
No many people know that you are also classically trained why did you choose rock music?
So what are the plans for 2013
