Front Cover - Final Shot

Model Consent Forms

Here are the pictures of the models I used with their model consent forms.

Taking Pictures

Here is a video of some photos of me taking photos of my model. I used a variety of props, shots, angles and zooms to create my test shots, and came out with a good selection. (Photo credits to Holly Hawkins-Lucraft)

Test Shots

Here is a video I made on stupeflix.com of all of my test shots for my front cover, contents page, and double page spread. I have varied the types of shots I have used and the props I have used as well, using one or the other, none, or both.

Shot List

 Here is a short video I made showing my shots and some descriptions of them.

Flat Plan Feedback

To receive feedback for my flat plan, I asked a number of my peers their opinion and received comments on the post for my flat plan. Overall, the vast majority of comments and feedback I got was very positive and my design and layout was appreciated.

 Holly mentions here that she liked my idea to have the translucent L on top of my article as it shows the artist. I thought this would be a good idea as it also makes her name stick in your mind, and it also looked attractive.

Again, people here have mentioned the idea for the L as well as the colour scheme being an interesting idea. Somebody also mentioned the title of my magazine which pleased me as I was worried people would not understand it, but I chose the title as it relates to music but not in a way that is too obvious.

From my peers, I received similar feedback. Overall, people seemed to like that I chose to keep my layout simple but creative, and the colour scheme was also something people found interesting. I thought that the idea I had for the colour scheme would impress as it is different and not something you see on magazines often. The only advice and criticism I got was to make sure I left enough space at the top of my photo for the masthead to go, as it was quite cramped on my flat plan. When taking my test shots, I took this into consideration.
