Photo Planning

Before taking my photos I brainstormed for ideas on who I wanted to take photos of and how my artists would look and be styled. As I am creating an indie pop magazine I know that my artists need to look and fit to this genre in order to attract my target audience.

I decided to use a duo to be the main image on my cover page and for the double page spread to be about them. A duo fits to the indie pop genre as this unique and different, which will attract audiences to my magazine. I called my duo "Double ii" as they are both going to be called Imogen so this works well. I looked at different ideas for the name of duo such as "Imogen Squared" or "Imogen X2" however I chose "Double ii" as I feel this sounded like a more sophisticated and genuine band name.

I chose my models for their height and similar colour hair, these little similarities allow my models to look like an authentic duo without looking immature or too forced. I planned the outfits and makeup styling for duo making sure that everything fitted to the indie genre, coming up with different outfit ideas to enable me to have flexibility during the shoot and a range of photos to chose from. I found my research to be a massive benefit and help while doing this.  

Below are my note ideas and brainstorms for the different outfits.

Next Step

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

Image
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...
