Timelapse

I have created a time lapse video for my photo shoot, and this is where a photo is taken every 10 seconds to give an overall view of my photo shoot in action and clearly shows me taking the pictures myself and looks at the different ways i took the photographs.

I have presented my photos from the photoshoot on a contact sheet. I watched a tutorial online to help me complete this.

Signed tutorial

I then created a tutorial using CamStudio to show how i created one of my ideas for my Masthead.

Masthead designs

I have designed four different possible mastheads for my magazine with my chosen name 'Signed'. I have tried completly different designs to make sure i have tried all options and that the final one i use is definately the right choice. I stuck to the colour scheme of black, white and red and made sure that they all fit with the genre of Indie/Rock. Below are my different designs.

Week 6-Diary

Week 6- Diary

This week i have completed my colour connotations and name designs. I produced this on a Scribd on my blog and they are closely linked together.

For the colour connotations, i chose to concentrate on red, white and blue as these are the traditional British colours. I found out from my mood board research that the patriotic colours are very popular throughout this particular genre and therefore i thought it would be useful to consider using these colour texts. I explained why i thoguht each colour looked good, or how i may need to adapt them to make them look better.

I also looked at different front styles to see how they looked. I liked the rough and scribbly text because i think it best fits with the rock/indie theme as its very carefree and messy. However i did compare other styles aswell to make sure i had considered all options.

Colour connotations

I have created a Scribd to present the different colours i have looked at for my magazine colour. i have based this around the images i found on my mood board with the union jack theme. I have also included name designs and fonts within this and looked at what i may like to use for my front cover and contents pages.

Name Ideas

I have written all my name ideas and why I think they are appropriate. I have justified and given reasons for choosing these names as they either link to my target audience, or the genre of the magazine.

Week 5- Diary

Week 5- Diary

This week i created my Audience profile which is a clear outline of what my target audience is, what my ideal target audience would be and also includes the results of the poll on my blog and how this will help me when creating my magazine. I created this on powerpoint and then uploaded it onto a slideshare.

Identifying my target audience is a good idea because i can always refer back to it, and it give me a clear idea of who i want to the magazie to be aimed at and appeal to at all times. My ideal target audience is hopefully similar to my target audience is, and this mwill make it easier to design the magazine as i know who i am hoping will read it. Therefore i can try and make it appeal to my ideal audience as much as possible. The results i found out from my blog poll were very useful as they told me what people in my age range think about magazines and what they typically expect to feature in it. This now has given me information to work around and make sure i try and stick to, to create a succesful magazine.

Week 4- Diary

Week 4 -Diary

This week i have created my proposal and mood board. These have both helped me understand what i want to do in my magazine and what i want to achieve.

I created my proposal in powerpoint and then uploaded it into slideshare. I included all the information needed for my new magazine and discussed everything in detail. I spoke about my target audience and how i am desiging the magazine around them and what they would be interested in. I also thought about my front page and the images and colours i will use to make it different from other Indie/ Rock magazines. I am pleased with my proposal as i can always look back at it if i get confused or unsure on how i originally wanted to magazine to look or be like.

My mood board has become very useful as i am now starting to think about my photoshoot and what sort of model i will want. I am also using it for inspiration for the outfits to be worn and the different poses i would like to make it unique. I think the colours and patterns are going to be the main focus on my page as i have seen on my mood board various different ways to dress a scene. I will regularly look back at this when i stuck for ideas for my photoshoot.
