The document outlines photography plans for a magazine cover and spreads. For the cover, models will pose playing around in studio shots with red bold text headings. The contents page will have multiple artist and album images in a neat layout comparable to Kerrang magazine. The double page spread will feature a main model image filling the left page with bold quote and article text on the right.

1. Photography Planning

2. Models, Costumes, Props
The models I will use on my front cover and double page spread will be two males, wearing similar clothes
and styles, both will be acting silly doing a pose with objects such as posts or cloth rails hanging upside
down depending on whether I can get hold of such props. The clothes being worn will be beige
chinos, white t-shirt and a winter coat as shown below. For the models that won’t feature on the front page
one model will wear darker clothes with a slightly more urban look yet still with the fashionable side of
things. Whilst any other models will be wearing relaxed clothes.

3. Front Cover
For my front cover I want a Studio shot of
a band with a similar background, to the
NME magazine to the left, with a red bold
text for the headings and sub headings
alternating between black, red or white
like the picture to the right. The title
Buzzed, will be in a large red font. There
will not be any sub images as the I want
the main focus of the cover to be the main
image and article of the
magazine, however I will be using sub
headings on the outskirts of the cover to
advertise extra content within the
magazine, the front cover should have a
glossy effect as this a monthly
magazine, so should have better quality.
Originally I wanted my models to be stood
side by side looking serious, however my
idea has now developed so that the
models are playing around and posing
doing something silly. The models for my
front cover are going to be all males, and
dressed fashionably.

4. Contents Page
My contents page needs to have multiple photos of
different things such as artists or bands images as
well as images of album covers or concerts, it needs
to be fairly packed with contents of the magazine, in
a fairly neat set out. The Kerrang magazine to the
left, shows the sort of layout I want my contents page
to compare to, the contents page layout will have the
word contents in the top left box labelled one in the
same font as my masthead, in box 2 there will be the
main image, that will also appear on my double page
spread, in box 3 and 4 there will be a small image on
other artists, a made up album cover image will
appear in box 5 along with its description in box 6, in
box 7 there will be the editors letter and in box 8
there will be the less important contents labelled
down, in the final box, box 9 there will be a
competition for tickets to a concert. My models for
the contents pages will be the same as the models on
the front page this image will be in box 2, whilst
images 3 and 4 will have models dressed for a
different music genres.

5. Double Page Spread
The double page spread will be laid out, with the main image as
the background and filling the whole page however the model
will only be on the left hand side of the page with bold text in a
large font at the bottom of the left hand side with a quote from
the text, whilst the main text will be on the right hand side of the
page, similar to the double page spread taken from Q magazine
featuring Florence. It will feature the model band playing about
and acting in an immature fashion. The image will also feature a
white plain background, as this keeps focus on the models rather
than the background. Where box 1 is there will be the main
images of the models, box 2 will overlap box 1 and will have a
quote form box 3 the main article. Box 3 will be the main text
article.
