Ready to shoot

I just got home and as soon as I opened my computer I was looking over some research that I didn't get to look at before and found a website that talks about the consumer data, like age and gender, for a few magazines. I found this extremely interesting because many of the magazines on that website are within luxury/high-end fashion. For example Robb Reports magazine has a more senior and masculine audience that consists of 80% males above 45 years old and the digital version has around 50% women at an average of 35 years old. Now that I have specific data to match specific magazines that are the same genre as mine, I can begin to construct the magazine cover.

    Now with what I found, I can begin to shoot pictures for the cover of my magazine. I decided that i'm going to focus mainly on men's fashion therefor my cover page model will be male. I have a few models for my magazine that I have in mind, and i'd like to shoot all of them just in case I like one more than the other later on. I'm thinking that by March 23rd i'd like to have all my cover magazine models shot, and ready to go, and by March 30th have my inside models ready to be taken pictures of. This gives me roughly two weeks to finish up the final touches of my magazine and turn it in.

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.

Pictures

Image
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.
