Further Colour Scheme Research For Magazine

 I decided to ask some of my target audience on their opinion on what colours scehme will be good for a music magazine cover. I chose to do this on social media via Twitter. This is beacuse millions of people use it on a daily basis and it is a very easy form of contact with my target audience. This was so I could get inspiration from people who could potentially be interested in buying the magazine as they are whom it is targeted at. This is also a way of being consumer friendly and getting in the opinion of the public before making the product.

 

From this form of research I have decided to make the house colours of my magazine; black, white and grey. This is becuase I believe it is very sophisticated and won't take much attention away from my key image. The chromatics of those colours are also very soft and would keep my magazine looking composed like other music magazines. 

Research On Colour Scheme

Chosen Title and font

I have decided that the chosen title for my magazine cover is going to be URBAN magazine. This is because I feel like it is a name that my audience can relate to as it shows the type of personalities it is targeted at. The name represents the genre of music that the magazine is aimed at which is what was intended. This is so that when people see the name URBAN they instantly relate it to rap/hip-hop and RnB music.

The font I have chosen also is in a style that can be related to the genre my magazine is aimed at. This is beacsue it is in a style that is very 'urban' and youthful. It is a very friendly font that will appeal to the target audinece that it is aimed at as it is friendly to younger generations. Also the R in this style allows it to be very distinctive in comparsion with other magazines and gives it an element that makes it stand out.

Conduction Of Photo-shoot

Planning Photo-Shoot

Once I have captured my photos  

 

Once I have my Photos I am going to get opinion from a photographer, which would be a photography teacher from my college. This is so I get a different view from an expert and so I am able to correct/ improve the photos by taking some better ones. Also this allows me to know which photos I have taken are of good quality and could possible feature in my magazine and which ones are of lower standards and won't be getting used.

 

Also I going to be asking some people who I believe to be in the target range for my audience/ buyer of my magazine. This is going to help me as I would be getting feedback from people of the same target group as those who are most likely to buy my magazine. This will help narrow down the selection of photos that I am going to use for my magazine.

Planning Photo-shoot

Planning Photo-shoot

For the planning of my photo-shoot I have to make sure that I  have various items that is going to allow me to have the best result possible.

What I will need for a successful photo-shoot is:

• A camera and charger
• A model
• Makeup
• Accessories
• Change of clothes
• The right location to suit the effect I'm going for. 

I may decide to conduct this photo shoot in an urban area so that it can reflect on the lifestyle and attitude that my magazine portrays. This allows it to be relatable to the audience as they feel part of the same status as the model on the cover.

I may also decide to conduct the photo-shoot in a studio. This is because the lighting in a studio can be controlled for a much more precise effect and it is in a more enclosed environment meaning outside factors would not have too much of an effect on the photo-shoot.
