Test Shots

Below are my test shots and photos that I plan to use for my draft magazine and final product. I ma happy with how these photos look, I am particularly pleased with how the outfits worked to make my participants look like a duo. The outfits and makeup were planned in advanced before the shoot, as was the idea of the use of a hula-hoop as a prop, this was worthwhile and definitely helped for the shoot. I wanted to see what the hula-hoop would look like as I needed to install some colour into my cover page, using a green hula-hoop would enable me to do this effectively. This will also look eye catching and attract the audiences attention, as well as fitting the audience research of having a pop of colour on the page. 

I took an variety of shots as I wanted to have a lot of options including close ups and full body shots to use across the different pages of my magazine.

After completing my research, I am now ready to start creating my draft magazine. To be able to do this effectively I will be creating flat plans for my magazine. I will also gain audience feedback from this which will help me in creating a magazine that appeals to my target audience. I have found carrying out the research interesting and this has greatly broadened my knowledge of magazines. From my research I have been able to gain inspiration for my own magazine and have been able to understand the importance of conventions like fonts and color schemes. As I plan to be taking my photos on the 31/01/2017 I will be starting to create my draft magazine using purple boxes to indicate where my photos would be placed. My overall aim for this week is to draw up my draft plans, collect feedback on my flat plans. take my photos and start creating my draft.

Double Page Spread Title Analysis

As I found out from my draft feedback, I need to change the title of my heading for the double page spread; I need to change this because just having the band name "Double ii" as the title is not effective or fitting to the conventions of a professional magazine. In order to change this I have brainstormed ideas: Me, You & Double ii Me, Myself & Double ii An i for an i  ii's To Speak The Truth  More Than Meets The ii's  More To Double ii Than Meets The Eye  Let Double ii Flash Before Your Eyes  Double ii, Flashing Before Your Eyes  Inside Double ii  ii's Are The Mirror Of The Soul  A Look Into The Soul Of Double ii  To See All The Words Within Double ii  Double ii, Looking The World Straight In The Eye  Get Lost In Double ii  To brainstorm these ideas of headings I focussed on well known quotes and saying surrounding eyes as the double i "ii" sound within the band name link to this. I looked at ph...
