Photoshoot Organised

I have organised a photoshoot with Tom Furniss and Connor Penson for tomorrow (Wednesday 7th December) and I'm also in the process of deciding on a date to do another photoshoot with a girl. I haven't decided which of the three I want to use on the front cover of my magazine so I'm going to take a range of photo's of each of them that would be appropriate for either/and my front cover, contents page and double page spread.

The photos I got in the practise photoshoot I did a few weeks ago with Tom came out really well with the clothing and poses. However, there were a couple of problems with the shots and small things such as part of the guitar being cut out of the picture etc. So I have decided to do another photoshoot in the same style but just improve the quality of photo.

With Connor, I want to portray him as a "rockstar" as opposed to Tom's indie/pop look. I have got an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar for him to use as his 'instruments' and he is going to wear skinny jeans and a band tshirt.

Ideas

After researching other music magazines I have noticed that there are no magazines aimed at solo artists in the music industry. I also particularly like how Q magazine brings all different genres of music together in its monthly edition. Taking this into consideration, I have decided I want to make my music magazine based around solo artists from all genres of music. I think it would be appealing to people because it would be something new and different on the market but I am going to emulate the style of NME/Q magazine as it will be something readers are familiar with.

Before I begin drafting my front cover, I'm going to do some research into current solo artists and the ones people stated in my questionnaire, and then I'm going to see if they have been on the cover of other music magazines and how they are portrayed.
