Location, props and costume report
Location
All of the images I took of the model were situated in a photo studio with a green screen and studio lighting. The reason I chose this location was because I wanted to achieve the impression of a professional photoshoot so I took my images like how most typical magazine covers are shot. The lighting I used was very bight and exposed because I wanted my model to appear to be the centre of attention. However, for my contents page image I used less lighting as it was a moodier shot; therefore, using darker light represented the atmosphere.
Props
The only prop I used throughout my photoshoot was a chair. The reason I decided to use this was so that I got different arrangements of photos; therefore, giving me the options to choose from a variety of looks, as opposed to 3 images looking very similar with the same set up. I shot a range of images with the chair, including ones of her kicking it over to give the implication of the artist having an attitude etc. However, as they were photos of her in motion the majority of these were blurry; therefore if I was to do this again I would change the camera settings to ensure they weren't blurred.
Costume
I used a range of looks during my photoshoot, but I wanted them to all have the theme of black and denim. These included- a plain black top, blue denim dungarees and plain black top, blue denim dress on its own and with a black leather jacket. I also used a range of makeup and hair looks as I knew I wanted close up shots so I wanted her appearance to vary in each. I used a dark purple lipstick to connote a more vampy, fun look and then a more natural colour which implies being more serious and classy. With these looks I also changed her hair, for the dark lipstick I chose for my model to have her hair up (spacebuns) which connotes a more alternative and immature look. Then for the more natural look, her hair was down and looked natural, again suggesting maturity. The reason for doing this is because it relates to the feature article- her working, managing and producing (more mature) and then to oppose this, her performing and going out (more immature).

Font and colour mood boards
Font
The font mood board shows examples and inspiration for the sort of fonts I am thinking of using for my magazine. On the mood board I have indicated what place the font will hold on the front page- I didn't include fonts for my DPS and contents page as I will want to continue the same fonts onto those to ensure consistency.
All of the fonts displayed for the masthead are very bold, capitalised, sans serif fonts, the reason for this is because I want it to be the element of my magazine that stands out the most. As it will be consistent throughout every publication; therefore, I don't want a font and style that will only look good for this particular issue but instead a classic looking title. My favourite font I have displayed for the masthead are 'Vulpes' and 'Dolce vita'.
The fonts I've chosen for the coverlines are similar to those for the masthead as they are still sans serif fonts; however, my favourite ones are presented with the letters closer together and the font looks more vertically stretched which is the style of font I'd like for the coverlines as I think it will look good displayed down the sides of my front cover plus it will leave more room for my main image.
the main cover line will contrast these fonts as I want it to be a serif font, in a more handwritten style, this is so it will stand out as being different from the rest of the font and it will also give the impression that the cover artist has written it themselves.
Colour
I only want to use up to 2 bright colours throughout my 3 products as otherwise I think it will look too chaotic. I definitely want to use a grey colour in my products as I think it will contrast well with the bolder colours I choose. I have experimented with what colours I think will go well together and my favourite ones have been yellow and a royal blue colour together and a lime green and maroon colour together. I think these colours work well as they are opposites on a colour chart, another reason I think they work well is because for each pair there is one cold colour (blue and green) and once warm colour (purple and yellow) the other options I had were using pink and orange as id seen an example with these that worked well together, however these are both very bright and I think would clash.
