Dear Moderator,

Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy reading through it.

I have complete an R'N'B music magazine, I have posted all my research and planning for my magazine and then the process of making it and evaluation of my magazine.

My research and planning starts in September 2011, and my evaluation in February 2012. My completed magazine is just below this note.

Research & Planning: Double Page Spread Idea

For my double page spread on my artist I am planning to do an interview with them, on the page it will be question and answers.
The interview could be about - A recent gig
                                                - Their life
                                                - About a new artist 
                                                - Coming up events

Research & Planning: Model Four Appearance


I have chosen model four because she has the right look for an R'n'B/Pop magazine, her hair and make up goes with the genre. She dresses like an model in this genre magazine would dress to this will help me in choosing her outfit for the photoshoot.
This photoshoot will also take place outside of college on Tuesday the 22nd November.

Outfit





Make up & Hair

Research & Planning: Model Three Appearance


I have chosen to use myself as a model for my magazine because it will be easy to make sure that the photoshoots run on time and that I will have all of the props/ outfits I will need in them. 

In the photo shoot I will be in I will be planning to do close ups on the face, so the outfit I will be wearing is just all black. 


The Make up I will be wearing is dark eye shadows and glitter around the eyes, and natural foundations and lip stick, and the hairstyle I am going to have is long wavy hair.




Research & Planning: Model Two appearance


I have chosen my second model because he has the right look to show my genre as well as being confident to model. So I can get better shot, which will improve the quality of my magazine overall. The outfit i has chosen is also clothes that the model already owns which fits in with the R'n'B/Pop theme. I have chosen these so that the photoshoots will not be delayed or not be able to take place on the dates I wanted them to take place. This Photoshoot will happen on Thursday the 24th November in hyde park.

Outfit











Research & Planning: Model One Appearance

 

My model one will be wearing this outfit on her photoshoot
Also wearing her hair and make up in this way
I have chosen this model because she has the R'n'B/Pop look so the pictures will go with my music genre and help interest the readers interested in this genre of music. 
The Outfit i have chosen for this model to wear helps show the genre of my magazine, all the clothes i have chosen the model or myself already own so we can get the clothing easy enough when we need them so the photoshop can not be delayed and will run on time and on the right date.  
This Photoshoot will take place on Tuesday the 22nd November, outside of college.

Research & Planning: Potentional Model head shots

I am not going to use this model in my magazine because she doesnt have the R'n'B/Pop look needed for my magazine. If this model was on the front of the magazine it may give a different vibe for my magazine.
I am going to used this model for my magazine because her hair and make up if right for an R'n'B/Pop magazine so it will help show the genre, and attract more readers because it will clearly show that it is an R'n'B/Pop genre. 

I am not going to used this model because she hasnt got the right look to help me show my genre of magazine, as she doesnt wear make up and wears sporty clothes. Female models from Pop/R'n'B magazines wear make up, so this model may not be confident in modelling. 

I am not going to use this model for my magazine because he has to got right look to show R'n'B/Pop, as he looks like he wouldnt be interested in R'n'B/Pop music. So this may not help the sales of my magazine.
I am not using this model because she doesnt seem confident posing infront of the camera so it will be difficult to get different pictures than this one.
 
I am not going to used this model because I think that he might not feel like posing in front to the camera so it might be hard to get good professional pictures from him 
I am using this model in my magazine, as she has the right look to help show the R'n'B/pop genre of my magazine. I am also using this model as her hair and make up is also right for my genre. 
I have chosen this model for my magazine because he seems confident infront of the camera so more photos can be taken and different poses to make my magazine look more proffessional.
