2. Magazine cover 1
The genre for my magazine was ‘urban’ (hip-hop, citified).
My intentions were:
• For the model to pull a certain pose
• Pull a certain facial expression
• The model to be male (teenager)
• Look directly into the camera
• The angle of the image to be slanted
Part of my intentions were fulfilled and those intentions were that the
model is posing the same pose as I planned out on paper (pulling of the
shirt), however the model isn’t pulling the facial expression I wanted
them to pull (which case I wanted them to bare their teeth).
Having the model be a teenager fits well with my target audience which is
for teenagers of both genders.
The meaning of this image is portray a sense of attitude and to be able to
get this across, the pose and expression of the model is important.
This is the final image for the first front cover. I feel that the background
colour scheme fits well with the clothing of the model.
3. Magazine cover 2
My intentions for this photo-shoot was for the model to shape their
fingers/hands into a love heart shape and their whole body facing the
camera. However this was changed to the model preforming the action
they’re doing in the image. My intentions for the costume was for the
model to wear a formal dress along with a necklace however I never
really specified what colour or what design the dress would be (but I feel
that it works well from what I initially planned). Also my plans for the
model’s hair was also done as planned.
The genre of the image somewhat fits with ‘urban’ but it is more formal
than ‘hip-hop’.
The target audience is still aimed at a teenage audience
The meaning that this image has is that although your style can be
scruffy, there can still be a form of sophistication somewhere.
This is the final image of the front cover, again the background works well with the
model and the clothing. The lighting also works well as it brings more focus to the
model.
4. Magazine cover 3
Part of my intentions were fulfilled with this image:
• The pose the model is preforming
• The clothing
• Hair
• Accessories
When planning on paper, I drew out the model on one knee however her
hand was to be placed under her chin, but because the theme of the
magazine was summer I thought it would be suitable for her to hold onto the
sunglasses.
I also planned to have the model in a summery short onesie which was
executed in this image.
I feel that this image fits with the genre of my magazine as the style of
clothing comes under the ‘urban’ area.
I feel that the finished cover works well as I included articles to do with summer as
that was the theme of this cover and also the clothing suits well with the summer
theme (along with the sunglasses).
5. Magazine cover 4
The original plans for this cover were completely re-done in terms of model choice and
clothing, however the location was kept the same as it fits the genre of the magazine
perfectly.
My first intentions for the clothing of this photo-shoot was to have the model in a
denim jacket, jeans, trainers and a hat, but due with trouble with the first original
model changes were made. However I feel the current costume works well with the
genre.
My intentions with the pose was to have the model stood against the wall with their
hands in their pockets; due to a change of models, their perspective of posing was
different.
The meaning of this image is portray a sense of attitude and to be able to get this
across, the pose and expression of the model is important.
This is the final image as the front cover; in my opinion I feel that as a whole, this cover
works well together with the content and genre.
6. Fashion Spread 1
The theme of my fashion spread was ‘Grunge’ which is a style with a sense of rock/indie
essence to it and the title of the spread is ‘Get Gritty’.
My intentions for this first shoot was to have the model in ‘up to date’ clothing with a
sense of rock added to it; the t-shirt being the main focus.
My other intentions were to give the model a choice on what poses they wanted to do
which emphasises the idea of grunge/rock and having a sense of individualism and having
your own way.
The lighting wasn’t my intentions as there was difficulty changing the aperture settings on
the camera, however I liked the way the model was posed so I felt it worked really well; the
lighting could be fixed via Photoshop.
This is my final image for the first fashion spread – I had it done into
a double-paged spread as it is the introductory page of my fashion
spread.
7. Fashion Spread 2
My intentions for this second shoot was that the location was at Bewsey
park but due to availability of the model and myself, the location was
changed to somewhere closer. The location works well with the ‘grunge’
look as it was done in a forestry/bushy area, also it looks messy and the
clothing goes well as the colours are dark and have a very ‘rock’ look to the
image.
The hairstyle of model fulfils my intentions on portraying the grunge look as
the model’s hair is messy and partly shaven which is what todays style of
grunge is portrayed.
This is the final image for the second shoot.
I cropped out part of the image in order to
have a main focus on the jumper of the
model.
8. Fashion Spread 3
With this image the majority of my intentions were fulfilled; from the location of the
shoot, to the clothing of the model.
However I didn’t intend the lighting to be dark but on the other hand I feel that it
works for the theme of grunge.
Again, I gave the model the choice to decide on their own choices of poses to give
the image character.
The meaning that is created is that the grunge style is like an outsider; the use of
locations were done outside in roughed up areas (part of my intentions as well).
This is the final image of this shoot. During the
editing process I decided to brighten up the image as
it would have been too dark to use.
9. Fashion Spread 4
My intentions for this image was to have the model pose and show the majority of the
clothing; the T-shirt being the main focus. I intended the shirt to be that design as it is
very eye catching due to it having a roaring tiger.
The lighting was a little too bright to fit the theme of ‘grunge’.
The location of this shoot was fulfilled as I wanted the shoot done in front of the garage
door; the garage door compliments the theme of grunge as the door is dirty etc.
This is the final image of this shoot. The
obvious change is the brightness and colour
levels of the image.
