This document provides details about a photo shoot for a magazine cover and double page spread (DPS). It discusses the date, time, location and reasons for the shoot. It notes that permission was required from the model and any members of the public captured in photos. Mid-shots were taken using natural lighting and without props. The photos chosen for the cover and DPS are shown. Permission and equipment used are also summarized. Hazards were low as the shoot occurred in a hallway without props.

2. Location Recce
Location
Time
Date
Why?
The photo shoot had been
taken place on the 6th of
February 2017 and it was
between 15:00 – 16:00
The photo shoot was taken on
this date because it was one of
the tomes when me and the
model had a chance to go out
and take the photos.
As for laws and regulations if I
had taken my photos outside in
a public area or in private
property or land I would have
had to get permission to use
that area. If it was in public and
I got a member of public in the
photo I would have to ask for
their permission.
Also I had to ask the model for
their permission to take and
manipulate the photo of them
for my front cover and DPS.
Picture Needed

Props/Equipment
Lighting
Costume
Person
Why?
The shots used in my magazines
were mid shots and we didn't
use any props. Furthermore the
lighting used was natural.
During the photo shoot the
model changed positions to try
and get a good picture for the
front cover and DPS.
I think that the mid shot would
work better rather then any
close up shots as you can see
his outfit and his body langue.
Also with the natural lighting it
gives a better quality image. I
had the model change positions
a few times to get a good
picture for the front cover and
DPS as I didn't’t want it to be
the same photo as that would
make the magazine boring.
Permission Needed
Contact needed to be
made
Evidence of this?
The photo shoot was taken in a
place where there was no
permission needed to use the
area.
The reason why I took the
photo outside again a white
wall was so I could get the
natural lighting and with the
white wall it would be easier to
edit later on, on Photoshop, so
this saves time.
Hazards and risks
Location specific
Why?
The hazard risk was very low as
I took the photo in a hall way
and I didn’t use any props.
This is because there wasn’t
any hazards at all in the area I
took the photos.

3. Test Photography
This is the photos that I took for my front cover and DPS. For my front cover photo
is the second photo from the left and my DPS photo is the third photo from the left.
I chose to use these images as they looked the best on the front cover DPS.

4. Equipment
Before taking my photos for my front cover
and DPS I had to get some equipment to
ensure that my photos were the best quality
that they could as they have to look
professional for the magazine. The equipment
that I used to take the photos was a white
background and a Cannon camera. I used a
Cannon camera because this is a good camera
and produces good quality images. I used a
white background because it would make it
easy for me to edit in Photoshop.

5. Staff and cost (LOSS)
As you can see from the table
on the left it shows the staff
jobs and how much they will
be paid. The salary is a fair
amount due to the nature of
the job and the higher the hill
level the higher the salary will
be. For example an publisher
and editor is a much more
higher skilled job then a
photographer for the
magazine.

6. Marketing the magazine (loss)
I will market the magazine on all platforms possible which includes apps, also I will be marketing my
magazine on billboards and other magazine advertisement which is a form of below the line
marketing.
One major platform would be Facebook. This is because Facebook has millions perhaps billions of
users who use it and it is without a doubt that someone would come across the advertisement on it.
Another major platform is Instagram. I will try and advertise on it because millions of people are on
it and there is always and advertisement or two when scrolling down to look at other peoples
stories. Snapchat is also another major platform, however not everyone looks at the news side on it
therefore we do not want to waste money on advertisement on a platform that no one even looks
at. These are all forms of above the line marketing which is good as the possible amount of people
that will e able to see the magazine is so much more higher hen any other type of marketing. To
advertise my magazine on Facebook it will cost £28.72 a month, £344.64 a year.

the a good place to do this.

What have the old mates said to you about this?
Well….. Ha ha they have just been saying that I’m cocky and and up my self thinking I’m so sick. It hasn't really effected me cause I have shut them out of my life, however I have mentioned some lyrics

Erm when I was younger I was always getting into to trouble at school and stuff and my mum used to tell me I was useless and I was never going get anyway in life. So I wanted to prove to myself and

career in music. Now I am here and I can say to my mum that I made something out of my life and make myself proud.
Well thank you for your time and I hope to see you doing big things in the future

This is my magazine flat plan for my magazine ‘President’. A
flat plane is what my magazine would look like on the inside.

11. Chosen Fonts
Bad Stories

Iconian Fonts
I have chosen this font as it
is very similar to my
magazine of inspiration.
This is good as I am not re-
inventing the wheel. As
most magazines have bold
fonts.
I have chosen this font
as it is similar to ‘Vibe’
but not as similar as the
other font. However this
font is more squashed
together.

12. House Style - PRESIDENT
The color scheme to my first magazine is light blue and a light grey. As these two colours contrast
each other. The colour blue connotes loyalty highlighting that my magazine will contain accurate
information. The colour blue is easy to see and connotes my magazine will have pure and trustful
information. The light grey denotes a neutral colour, the connotations behind the colour grey is that
it is quite cool and contemporary.
Furthermore, I will have social media logos on my page to keep up with the brand identity and it is
an example of cross-media convergence, ‘digital natives’ (Prensky 2001) will like being “courted
across multiple media platforms” (Jenkins 2006).

15. Feedback of front cover
Question three of my SurveyMonkey was ‘Would you
change anything about my front cover? If so why?’ I chose
this question so I could find out what other people
thought about my front cover. The two most popular
answer was ‘ To make the masthead stand out’ and ‘ To
change the main image.’
The sixth question is ‘What would you rate my
front cover out of 10?’ I chose this question to
find out people initial thought on my front
cover. The average rating was 7/10. This
means that I have room to improve.

16. FINAL MAGAZINE FRONT COVER
I chose to put the main
image of the artist
overlapping the masthead
because this creates
synergy between the
magazine and the artist.
This means when the
reader looks at the front
cover of the magazine
they can say I like the
artist and I like the
magazine so they put the
two things together to
make one.
I decided to make
the name of the
artist overlap the
main image of the
artist because this
makes it a stand
out when the
magazine is on
the shelve next to
other magazines.
This means when
people look at it
they know who
the artist is on the
front cover.
I added in the social media
links above the barcode. This is
called the technological
conversion, so people can find
the magazine online as well as
having the paper magazine.

17. Feedback of DPS
The fifth question was ‘What
could I change about my DPS?’
I chose this question as it
allows me to get other peoples
opinion on my DPS and they
can give me feedback on what
I could change about my DPS.
The main reply was to fill the
empty space up.

18. FINAL MAGAZINE DPS

19. Front Cover step by step
• The first thing I did was open Adobe Photoshop, them I clicked file new and set
the canvas size to A4. Then I added in my ruler lines by using the Ruler Tool for
each different feature of my front cover for example the masthead and barcode.
This is because with these ruler lines everything can line up which makes the end
product of the front cover look professional and tidy. As seen in this image I have
used the ruler tools and the end product looked really nice and professional.
• For adding in all my text on the front cover I was the Text Tool which allows me
add in a text box onto the canvas and start to type. For certain bits of text I right
clicked on them and went to Effects and added a Stroke around the edges to
make the text stand out more. This can be seen in the image below.

20. Front Cover step by step continued
• When I added in my masthead I added a lot of different effects on it to
make it really stand out as this is what people are looking for when looking
for a magazine. I placed my mast head into the front cover by using the
place tool and my ruler lines. Then I right clicked on the image of my
masthead and went to effects and added; inner shadow, gradient overlay,
outer glow and drop shadow.
• Most importantly, the main image has to look good and stand out over
other magazines, so I added it into the middle of the fornt cover. When
editing the main image I used the tool Magic Wand and Quick Select.
These tools make it easy to remove the original background that the image
was on. Then to get rid of the background that the magic wand tool didn’t
pick up I had to zoom into the areas and use the same method but on a
smaller scale.

21. DPS step by step
• One of the I used in my DPS is the drop capital to start my article. To
do this I highlighted the letter that I wanted to make big, then I
clicked this button. This then allows me to choose what
size I want the letter to be. I did this because this makes my DPS
article look more professional. This is displayed in the image below.
• Another feature of my DPS is the quote from the artist. To do this I
went to window then text wrap. Then a pop up comes up and I can
select what I want the quote to look like. This is good because then it
stands out in the article.

22. DPS step by step continued
• Furthermore the main image of the DPS is important because this is
what people will look at first. I did this on Photoshop and inserted in
into InDesign. His can be seen in the image on the bottom left.
• The final feature of my DPS is the background gradient. This follows
my colour scheme. The way I did this was by clicking on this
button. I chose to do a gradient because I think this looks professional
and modern. This can be seen in the image in the bottom left.

23. Risk Assessment
Before taking the pictures of the
person I asked them to fill out a
consent form which means they
have agreed to be having a
photo to be
published/manipulated once
signed.
Area Assessment
When looking for a location for
the picture to be taken of I had
to check to see of there any
possible hazards that could
harm the person. I looked at the
area I toke the photos in and it
was safe.

24. Conclusion
In this LO I was able to produce material for an original UK-based print
media product.
