Magazine Final idea – photo shoot
Project description Unit 13 is all bout how the different form of the media control what people think or what
they might buy . So for unit 13 we researched different types of magazine so for example I
researched about “Top of the Pops” and “ Billboard” magazine and see why they are so
appealing to the target audiences they are target too . By taking in this research it helped
me to construct my own magazine that will help appeal to my own audiences.
Project ( reasons behind the title ) The masthead of my magazine will be called “Disco”. The word “Disco” connotes that my magazine
will have lots of music gossip and may other things such as concert tickets prizes and many more.
Photographer? My photographer will be some people from my photography class as I’m going to be unable to take
photos as I will be the model. Some people I have considered is Emily and William to take my
photos. I will get them to take photos of all different angles so then at the end I can consider which
ones will look best on my magazine. I want to try and use natural lighting and if it not working out I
will use some lighting in the photography studio . If there is any effect that is not working I will try
and edit it with different filters such as invert and exposure to make the photos even better than
they where before.
Casting? Well for my magazine I decided to have me as the artist on the front cover and DPS. The reason why I have chosen
myself for this role is because there aren't any girls in my class for a start , and I want my magazine to be for the
female population. Some people have said to me if I have the right hair style and clothing I sometimes look like
Zoë sugg or some other artists.
Model requirements? Since my model will be me I need to focused on my appearances by having natural make-up
that is noticeable ,but also where cloths that is appropriate for my target audience and the
genre of music as well. I also need to try different positions while on the shoot and put myself
out of my comfort zone in order to be like the artist I’m trying to portray.
Wardrobe and look ? For my magazine my model needs to wear a nice skirt or even comfy jeans or trousers. Also a
smart collar shirt or even a nice red top, also comfy shoes such as ankle boots or trainers . My
source of inspiration is zoella and other music artists that wear similar clothing.
Hair & make-up? For the hair I’m going to do some shots with hair down surrounding the faces and to the side. Also I will
be having the hair up in a ponytail maybe to the side or on top of the head. For the make-up I will have a
natural look for some shots and the others will be some crazy make-up like bright color that go well
together. My inspiration will come from the “Top of the Pops” celebrates like zoella and other females
who have started in this magazine.
Where & when ? The photo shoot will either take places here at school or out side away from school for different shots.
Place in school will be in the photography studio the music department and the main hall. Outside of
school will probably be shots by a pond or lake over the bridge and some other ideas as well. These will
be taken sometime during the day and some at night as well.

Safe Working Practices
Image risk assessment
Permissions:
Before taking the image I needed to gain the artists full
permission to be photographed and for the image to be
published both online and print media. I found that the
best way to gain permission was to send an email to the
artist describing what they have to wear, the location and
time of the shoot. I also attached a permission form which
they had to sign and date and send back. By gaining
permission through this method the magazine has
declared proof of a signed document, this means that if
there are any future legal difficulties it would not be the
magazine at fault.
Area assessment:
When scouting the location for the images several area
checks had to take place. This risk assessment had to be
conducted to guarantee both the artist and the people
who are taking the images are safe. Areas that should be
looked at are possible hazards such as uneven ground
levels, running water, heights and weather conditions.
Also the area need to be suitable and appropriate for
artist and what we are trying to represent in our photos.
When ever taking or editing images for the front cover and DPS I had to take into
consideration the risk assessment. This meant that I had to look at all the individual
of “safe working practices” and how they could affect the final results.
Evidence of a permission letter
that was sent and signed by the
artist.

Draft interview (For DPS)
1. Hello Melody how are you today?
2. I’m very good bit nervous but I’m good
3. Aw don’t be so what inspired you to become a singer?
4. Thanks well I have always love sing ever since I was little. I didn’t have many friends When I started school so in year four I joined the school choir and ,continued it when I went to secondary school so you
could say my school life really.
5. Whoa that a long time was there any obstacles that came your way, before you became famous ?
6. Yes there where many. The main reasons was people making fun of me ,saying I can’t sing or just making fun of me trying to get me to sing as well . At the time I was very shy and only liked singing in big
groups never solo, so it made me very self-conscious about my ability to sing.
7. What helped you to over come those fears?
8. Well I’d say I haven’t over come them completely but I did faces my fears by auditions for solo’s in my choir, which was terrifying. But many people came up to me and said I had a really good voice, and asked
for help on certain harmonies, so you could say I faced my fears. But also when I was in primary school my friends encouraged me to sing along with them so they also helped me to faces my fears.
9. Who is your biggest inspiration in the music industry dead or alive?
10. Gosh there so many to choose from. Okay my inspiration in the music industry at the moment would have to be Jessie J, I love all her songs especially “who’s laughing now “ as it definitely reflects the type of
life I had when growing up. My other biggest inspiration has got to be the “king of rock” Mr. Elvis Presley just because I have grown up with his songs due to my parents being huge Elvis fans, so yeah there my
biggest inspirations.
11. Right here the big question if you weren’t a music artist what would you be and why?
12. Well originally I wanted to be a photographer so I could get close to celebrities , never thought I would turn out to be one . The other thing I would have like to do was probably be a You Tuber just because it
looks like so much fun and getting to meet new people. But I really didn't’t have a clue what I wanted to do when I was younger, but I don’t regret the path that I has been given to me.
13. What types of things would you have done if you became a photographer or you tuber?
14. Umm I would have taken photos of family events such as parties, wedding, or would have worked on a fashion shoot. If I became a you tuber I would have done impressions and song covers with some of my
friends so I wouldn’t feel to nervous about sing on my own
15. So I’m sure all your fans will want to know when you are going on tour?
16. I’m going on tour around Christmas time not sure on dates yet, but I’ll be going to London, Liverpool , bath and Brighton. Then later on in the new year I will be going to new york, Florida and some other
destinations that are still being confirmed by my manager Amy .
17. Now celebrities in todays world have names for there fan base what are your fans called?
18. Oh umm I haven’t given it much thought really if I did have to give my fan base a name I would call them the “sailor fairies”. Reason why I would call them that is because when I was growing up my two
favorite anime where “sailor moon” and “fairy tail’ so I combined the two and got “ sailor fairy”. I us this name for a lot of things and it just something that reminds me of my childhood, so that what my fans
would be called.
19. Last question many people will want to know manly men are you single or taken if so who the lucky guy?
20. Oh my that a very difficult question to answer *blush* umm I would say I am technical single at the moment but there is someone in my life I care for greatly, but with our lifestyle we don’t see each other
much. I just want to focus on my work and the things I love before working on my love life, so yes I am still single. I also have the support of my adoring fans and I just want to make them happy so work first
relationships later.
Well thank you for answering my questions Melody I hope everything goes well with your career and I hope to interview you again. Please everyone goes to this amazing women’s concerts and show your support, I’ll
be back next week with another interview with the stars. Bye now.
Thank you for having me yes I do hope everything goes with my career and I look forward to future interviews with you, and seeing all your lovely readers at my concert . Bye

Font styles
I found these style of font by
using a website called
“DaFont”. The reason why I
like these font is because they
are clean and cut. Nether
reason why I like these font is
because, they are all different
but still hold the same
meaning in this cause “pop
galaxy” and “Disco”, the joint
reason is pop music.

Final font styles
I have chosen to use this font
style because it a mixture of
pop art with a graffiti texture. I
like this because it makes the
heading stand out if it was
surrounded by other
magazines . This type of font is
similar to my magazine of
inspiration as it has a clean cut
finish and is bold so it stands
out.
I have chosen this font
because it is clean and cut
which will be appropriate for
my target audiences. Also it is
a form of bubble writing with
is easy to construct. This type
of font is different as the font
is a lot slimier than chunky .

Step by Step (Front cover)
Open up Photoshop and set up a blank canvas set to the size of A4. You are then going to click on the ruler tool (Ctrl+R) so that everything on
your canvas will be in line and in place. To hide the ruler lines you press(Ctrl + H). First thing to do is change the colour of your background on
the canvas, it best to change the background to the colour that you have suggested in your mind map. To change the colour look to the side
bar for a box with the colours going from dark to light ( or just the 12th box down the side bar). Then change the colour by using the coloured
boxes at the bottom of the tool bar and then have the colour as you wish. Next you are going to want to put the most important conventions
in first. An example of this masthead and barcode with the issue date, website address, small masthead logo and publisher logo. When
adding your barcode you can insert an image of one by going to ‘file’ and the ‘place’. Then your going to click (Ctrl+T), you can change the
shape and size of the image , then move it to the desirable position.
Above or to the side of the barcode you can insert text to add your additional information by clicking the ‘T’ on the side bar in Photoshop.
Now that you’ve done that you are going to place your masthead and strapline. What you need to do for this part is add the shapes of the
masthead and strapline by clicking on the solid square on the tool bar ( 18th box down) and draw to the size you want. Then you add the
magazine name and text and also the strapline. If you ever want to move this around all together and keep everything in the same place,
highlight the layers on the far right , right click and click ‘ link layer’. Depending on your logo, you can add text effects by right clicking on the
text layer and go to ‘blending option’.
The next convention that you should add next is the photo you want on your front cover. If you go to ‘file’ and then ‘ place’ you can add an
image that you have taken for your front cover. To remove the background of that image have the said image selected and find the quick
selection tool on the tool bar (4th down), then select the background you want to get rid of and make sure you don’t delete parts of the
picture you need to keep. To neaten the edges click on the eraser ( 13th down) and select the airbrush tool and to do this look in the top left
of the screen at the eraser and find it on the drop down. Move the image around on the page and change the shape and size to how you
want it. If you want to add an effect you can either go on the layer and to ‘ blending option’ again or at the top go to filter and edit to how
you want the picture to look.
To make it look like a magazine, you need to add a strapline, anchorge text, puff promotion, quote and cover stories. Use the text icon in
the bar tool to add your text and then you can change to colour of your text using the colour swatches at the bottom of the tool bar and if
you want to change the width and height of the text , highlight over it and click ‘window’ at the top of the screen and go to ‘ character’. Adapt
it to how you’d like it to look and then carry on adding your text. For puff promotion, repeat the steps of adding a shape then text on top. For
puff promotion, you do not want it to look to text heavy, so make sure you keep it concise.

Step by Step ( DPS)
For the double page spread you will need to open up InDesign.
You will need to repeat the steps like you would do for a front cover by creating the canvas to the size you would like and adding
you ruler lines. You can move them if you don’t like where they have been placed. Also changed the background to how you’d
like it . Like you would fro your front cover , you should add your masthead but not the strapline. On your front cover, you can
copy your masthead layers ( select the layer and click ‘duplicate layer) and drag it to your double page. If you want to add a
border then use the shape tool and make the shape to the size you would like and place it. At the bottom, you need to add
your page number, date issue and preferably your logo. To do this, use the text tool information.
On your double page, you need to add your headline and make it stand out, it would be best to adapt the text, so going to
windows and then character again is an example. Now that the basics are un place, the next thing to add would be your
image(s). Repeat the same again like you would for your front cover by going to ‘file’ and the ‘place. You can edit your picture
as you wish and move it to where you had planned it to go. Once everything is in place, you can now add your text for . The first
bit of the article that could be added is a quote. The reason is because if you need to have text going around it you know where
and when to use the pen tool. By adding your quote, the stand verse is the next text to add. When adding your stand verse, you
need to create a drop capital so all you need to do is to create a text box and type the first letter of the first word you are going
to use. Then you get the pen tool form the side bar (15th down) and click around some of the sides of your letter and then carry
on making a text box where you want your stand verse to go. After that type all your text for that paragraph. The rest of your
article can be added and if you need to, use pen tool in case you need to type around a quote or an image , or both. Lastly what
you can do is add caption to your photo(s) and then your double page is complete.

Software Risk Assessment:
Resizing an image:
When editing the images that I had taken on location I
wanted to keep a professional high image quality. This
meant that I looked into different ways of guaranteeing
that the final images would have no evidence of resizing
or pixilation. I found that the most useful method of
resizing images while also keeping the original high
quality pixel size was to use the ‘Transform Tool’ on
Adobe Photoshop. This technique is when resizing the
image to hold down the ‘Shift’ key on the keyboard. The
purpose of this tool is to keep the dimensions of the
image the same so they are not stretched and distorted
which can in turn affect the pixel quality.
Eyedropper Tool:
To maintain consistency throughout Disco Magazine I
wanted to make sure that all of the colours were the
same. On Adobe Photoshop is the ‘Eyedropper Tool’ that
helps choose and find a colour of an object, then you
have the opportunity to save the chosen colour into a
swatches palette. This meant that every time I created a
new text or object to be inserted into the magazine
pages, to find the magazines colour I had to go into my
‘Saved Swatches’ palette and choose the colour I wanted
to use. This sped up the colour choosing process as well
as keeping a professional standard for the magazine.

conclusion
In this learning outcome I looked further into the feedback that I
received once I had presented my pitch. This meant in depth analysing
of the suggested improvements and how they will affect the
production of the magazine. I gained feedback through several forms
this included a structured, recorded interview, witness statements and
an online survey (Survey Monkey) that was sent to everyone who
listened to the presentation.
Additionally I felt it very important to look in detail at the legal and
ethical issues surrounding planning and producing an indie music
magazine.
