Blog and pictures

I decided to spend some time on editing the blog itself, and how it looks in general. Although this isnt extremely important I found it was something that could benefit my project overall. I also found my main model for the my magazine. He is a 45 year old male with grey facial hair which is perfect because that it roughly the age group I am targeting. The picture for the cover image will be shot at my fathers office, where he will be wearing appropriate attire for the magazine genre which will most likely be a sort of suit or tux. In regards to my double-page spread I am not exactly sure if I will be using the same model or if I will use a different person and a different attire, but I will definitely be taking the pictures in a different setting from the cover image.

Feedback session #2

Today in class we had the final feedback discussion  before the due date of the project. I gained reassurance from it because I felt like I was extremely behind but it turns out I just need to catch up on shooting my pictures. I was having trouble thinking of a background to use for my cover image, and where I wanted to take it. My group brought up some examples of other magazines and presented them to me, and I decided that my background should be plain, but with a glossy touch. Colors like white, grey, and black are all good colors to use, depending on the color of what the model will be wearing. I also asked more about the double page spread and what I should talk about. I stated my idea that I mentioned in a blog post and the group liked it but they also gave me the idea of doing the article on a certain season. For example, “How to dress for the summer” which is not a bad idea, but I feel like it wouldn’t apply to my genre, but I am going to keep it in consideration.

Today I finally got to shoot my images. For my cover page I stuck to the glossy background with the model at the center of the page. As my article for my double page spread is about the fashion along the summer season, I decided to take my images for the double page spread outside in a sunny, summer-like environment: With the pictures finalized I can finally finish putting my magazine together, and continue with the completion of the content of my double page spread as well as my table of contents.
