Having this image taken in Tony’s den will look more
professional and help fit the purpose of the indie
rock/indie/upcoming/new music genre of my magazine
although the majority of George Ezra’s tracks are
acoustic blues music, most of the target audience of my
magazine enjoys listening to him. This location will also
make the reader want to find out more about that
specific band or artist. Also taking the images on the 5th
November gives us more time to complete the rest of

This is my locations recce, which outlines the location of the images, the
equipment needed, the permission required and the potential risks/hazards
that could occur.

4. Location of images
This is where I will go to take the photos for the George Ezra photoshoot. Due to
technical and privacy issues I am unable to show you pictures inside the location until the
day we go to take them.

5. Test photography
By taking photos as trial versions is a good way to get the best possible images at the
end for my new magazine BEATS!
These are photos that I had taken that are not great quality. This is due to many
factors such as poor composition, the fact that the second and third image has the
guitar cut off, there is other distractions in the background of the image that makes
the main subject unimportant.

6. Photography Prop List
This is an in depth list of all the props/equipment and other essentials that will be needed for
not only the photoshoot, but of running my business as a whole. It includes Apple macs, printers
and printer ink, paper, pens, Adobe Photoshop, Rented office space, office furniture, lighting,
cameras, tripods, guitars, stools, SD cards and Tea, Coffee refreshments. Within this I have also
included screenshots of the process and the prices.

11. Front Cover Production
Masthead Font styles
In order for me to make a successful final decision for my
Masthead font style. I have tested, tried and
experimented different ways in which I could represent
the genre of my music magazine, while using Photoshop
CS5 to design it. I also used www.dafonts.com to
download a specific font style that I thought might work
for my magazine masthead.
I have tried to create a masthead using inspiration from
NME, which was my magazine of inspiration for LO1.
They are all good masthead styles that fit the purpose of
my magazine very well, but there are some that have not
worked out as well as I expected. These are the 2nd , 3rd
and 5th examples. My favourites are the 1st and the 6th
because they are more fit for the purpose of my new
magazine.

12. I have come to my decision that the font above was the most suited
and fit for purpose for my magazine. This is because of the balance
between the drop shadow, inner shadow, the white stroke around
the red text and the red, white and black colours used, which are
also used for NME’s masthead.
Here is an improved version of the Masthead because I have inserted the strapline below the
main masthead text, but it is within the black shape. The white text used against the black
shape for my strapline makes it stand out and it fits the purpose of my indie rock magazine.

16. Language – Double Page Spread
This is my draft interview that I created used Microsoft word. This gives
me an idea of how I want it to look when making it on Photoshop, for the
Real thing.

17. Tools I will use in Photoshop that will be reflected on
for the DPS Interview
There will be a range of tools that I will be using for the double page spread/interview.
These consist of the ‘pen tool’ to create the columns, ‘free transform tool’ to resize and move
images, shape tool to add shapes for example for the black rectangle for the masthead. I also will
use the “text tool” to add the content of the main interview. I will also have to use the refine
edge tool to make sure that every selection I make has no sharp edges and is as accurate as
possible. I will use the ruler tool to accurately make sure that all my columns are of equal length
and width, the images and shapes are all in line with each other. This is so that it doesn’t appear
untidy and messy. By using the “ruler tool”, I am making sure it looks as neat and professional as
possible.

21. Step by Step guide on production of front cover
1. Firstly, I created a masthead and the for
my new magazine called BEATS! and this
was the final version that I wanted to portray
the indie-rock genre.
2. Secondly, I imbedded the masthead,
the date and strapline within it within the
main image of my “George Ezra“ look a
like.
3. I then
inserted the
cover lines.
4. I then
inserted the
main
headline.
5. I decided that it
was a good idea to
add a promotion on
the front page such
as a competition to
win 2 free tickets to
V Festival 2015 and
also the barcode
and social media
and publisher links.

22. Step by Step guide on product of double page spread
1. The first step was to create a base layer and choose the colour I
wanted to use. I also inserted the magazine masthead on the top left
of the DPS. I decided that to make it more realistic I needed to insert
page numbers on the bottom left and right of the DPS.
This was the first colour I decided to use. I
discovered that it was not the right colour for the
mood of the interview.
2. The second step was to create the headline for the article/ mag
interview. I had to ensure that it was the correct font style for the
mood of the interview. I then added the editor, photographer and
stylist names at the start of the interview so that readers would know
who was involved in the production of the article. By using the pen
tool I started to create the first column and copied the text for this
from my draft article.
3. I continued to create the remaining three
columns using the pen tool for the interviews
and copying the text into it.

23. Step by Step guide on product of double page spread
I placed a pull quote within the second column to increase the
visual element and also to inform readers that it’s the most
important part of the article. I have also included two
photographs to make it more eye catching and visual
appealing to the reader.
I then decided to add a image caption under the smaller image on the
bottom stating “Above George Staying Ezra!” This is suggesting to the
reader that George Ezra wants to keep doing what he is doing and not
change because of someone else’s influence. He wants to be unique and
be himself. I also have included social media links both Facebook and
Twitter to follow George Ezra on these sites. This is a good marketing
and advertising technique.
Finally I inserted a Key Facts about George box as I
realised there was a lot of empty space that needed to be
filled up. I also thought that I would write at the bottom right
of the page “ Check Out the full interview at “Check out the
full interview @BeatsMusic-Mag.com”.

24. Conclusion
Overall, in this section I have been able to produce the actual production material for my new
indie rock music magazine called “BEATS!” I have covered many areas including the planning for
the images to be taken (where/when/ the equipment needed and the permission taken), the
production plan regarding the budget etc, I have designed a flat plan of all the content that I will
plan to include within the magazine. I have planned everything I want to include within the front
cover and double page spread interview. This includes the masthead, main headline, cover lines,
promotion/competition, price, date, barcode, social media and publisher links. I have also given a
step by step guide into producing both my front cover and DPS.
