Fonts, for use in music magazine.















Here is a selection of the fonts that I chose carefully to create a retro effect, illustrated by the scribbled letters, going back to when magazines were first printed using ink. I chose to use these other some of the newer, more elaborate fonts because of this reason. 
For my photoshoot for my music magazine, I intend to place my models in front of a blue screen that I will later edit out. I have a few specific poses and props that I want to use, including a Gibson Les Paul guitar that will be featured in my double page sprea, a specific pose that the "singer" will be doing for the feature story of my front cover. The pose is based from this photo:
















I showed my model this and asked him to emulate it. Here is the photo that I took and used for my feature story on the front cover:
















In the original photo, tghe model's facial features are more prominent whereas in mine, I deliberately asked my model to cover his face with his hair, as it fit the article better.

Photoshoot.

Photo shot in front of a blue screen, zoomed in and used for the front cover
shot as the main image, and the blue screen edited out.




Same photoshoot, different "model" as such, this photo just used as
the shot for another story. Blue screen also edited out.



 Same photoshoot, but I ran out of people to use, so had to reuse the
guy in the centre and tie in the photos' stories on the magazine pages. I
acieved this by not taking out the blue screen this time and pretending
it was actually a stage curtain, and the other models were meeting a band member.
If I had more time, I would use different models to make the magazine better.
Better lighting would also have been used, if I had the time, which again would've
aided the magazine pages to become slightly more professional.




 This image was for the double page spread, and it was the same
storyline as such that was the main feature on the front cover page.
I took a photo of him with a guitar because I felt it could lend to the
interview that would go with the photo on the spread, and also keep
a musical theme going throughout the pages.




I also took a picture of the guitar by itself, but chose not to use it for my pages.
