Outcome of Photoshoot

Here are the strongest pictures I took of Emily:

Another Photoshoot

During the half-term week I have been gathering pictures I can use on my contents page. I realised I would probably need to do another photoshoot with a girl as my previous two photoshoots are with boys and I want to attract both a male and female audience. It was sort of last minute but I organised a photoshoot with a girl yesterday and used a white sheet as the back drop for the pictures. I dressed her in tights, shorts and we swapped various different tops. One of them being a Ramones one. I wanted to give her a young, fresh look about her and the Ramones t-shirt showed she wasn't just into pop music. I got her to do lots of different poses including pushing her hair up, sitting on the floor with crossed legs and hands on hips. I'm pleased with the outcome of the photoshoot.

Results of Contents Page Research

After asking 12 people their opinion on which style of contents page would best suit my magazine according to my cover, 5 people chose NME, 5 people chose Q and 2 people chose Kerrang! So therefore I am going to structure my contents page in the style of both NME and Q.

Contents Page Research

I am currently piecing together different elements of my contents page and deciding on the different articles that will be included in my magazine. I have decided to print off a contents page from 3 different magazines that would be my main competition in the market: Q, NME and Kerrang! I have then printed off my final front cover and I am going to ask a selection of people which contents style they think matches my front cover the most. I will then use this as a template for my own contents page.
