Final Double Page Spreads.

These are my final double page spreads. They continue to use a colour pallet of theree, and they also use images which are fromt he same shoot as the front cover, and the contents page.

Final Contents Page.

This is my final contents page.Although different to my original ideas, I think it has turned out really well, I have contained an editors letter, a shot that is from the main story, two other images, and a live shot, each of these follow the codes and conventions of a contents page.

Final front cover.

Here is my final front cover. I took all of the images, then edited them on photoshop, and placed the cover lines, explanatory texts, footer, and title using photoshop. I have also used a three colour pallet, which connotes sophistication.

Final Decisions.

These are the original planned outfits using Aaron Groom as the model, here are also some test shots.

I think that using a female model will enable me to make the product brighter, and appeal more to my target audience of girls aged 16-20 as I feel they will enjoy a female on the cover, as opposed to a make on the cover. I have decided to change the model as I feel that the a female on the cover may make the cover stand out, as opposed to these test shots which look very dull. I also am including a props list which I will use for my final product.

Double Page Spread Template

These are my two templates for the double page spread, the template above is going to be used  as an introduction to the main article, and will contain only a picture, and the title of the magazine. the template below will contain the actual article, and an image to go along with it. I have created these templates for the front cover, contents page and double page spread as a guideline for how I shall set out my entire magazine.

Experimenting with the Front Cover

The models used for these two drafts are Matt Sparrow, Naomi-Jay Craven(self), Ellie Collingwood, and  Aaron Groom. For the final piece I want the images to look brighter, and I will do this using different and brighter costumes. Although my initial idea was to have a male on the front cover, I think that I would prefer to have a single female on the front cover, as I will be able to use brighter, more flamboyant  clothing.
