My Photos Before Editing!!

These are some of my selected photos that i am going to evaluate for my magazine. These photos have not been edited yet so they will not look exactly like that on my covers ect.

Smoking.

Picture1.
I really like this photo as Jade is staring into the camera and her eyes could tell a sort of story. Also the way she has the lighter light in the picture makes it alot more intresting to look at.
If i was going to use this for my Front cover i would crop half of her body out as its not very professional looking.









Picture2.
*For this photo i wanted jade to look quiet comfortable at the fact that she smokes and also show a rebel side to the picture for this i got her to look up me. I wouldnt use this for my front cover as there is not much space to put other put a title or other stories on the side.










Picture3.
*I really like this close up of jade as shows off her facail features and make-up. Though it doesnt show off another side to her. All you see is her seriouse side and also he ciggertte in her mouth doesnt look quiet right so i wont be using this for any part of my magazine.










Picture4.
*Again i done another close up but with jade looking somewhere eles and without the ciggrette in her mouth. I really dont like this photo as its not a nice angel on her face and also again doesnt show a fun/sexy which is what i wanted to see in the picture's for my magazine.










Duck Tape.

Picture1.
*I like the angel on jades face and her facial expressions but her body ill all wrong and also half cut off. For theses photos i wanted to see her whole body including her legs to see the whole inspiration and sexyness of just wearing duck tape and underwear.
By using duck tape this gives us a more Lady GaGa infucenced looked.










Picture2.
*Again i like the way jade's her head is looking down but her legs are cut off so i wont be using this for my magazine.










Picture3.
*I really like this photo becuase i have jades legs are in it. Also the way her arms and hands are placed on her hips reminds me of one of Lady GaGas photo shoots for More magazine so thats a good point. Also with the way she is looking away from the camera makes her look mysterious and sexy. I Will be using this photo in my contents page but cutting jade completly out of the back ground.









Animal Print.


Pictue1.
*This photo is quiet indie looking by the way jade has her feet turning inwards, also by her leaning over it makes us want to lean into her and take a better look at the photo and it may draw people into reading the artical about her. This again would be a good picture for my contents page or maybe even a little picture for my double page spread.










Picture2.
*Jades facial expression is really funky and fun and is a really good pose for my front cover. Also by having her bright headband and lepoard fur coat on, the coulours and print is very eye cacthing. Also by having the rock and roll hand sign draws attention to the audience of Tennagers and younge adults. This will be the photo for my front cover as i really like it.








Picture3.
*Becuase i liked the photo above so much i thort id try the same sort of thing but change a few fetures. I keept the rock and roll hand sign and the close up shoot. I told jade to stick her tounge out to look more indie rock. I dont like this as much as the other photo only becuase of jade sticking her tounge out.










Picture4.
*I tryed another close up shoot but i wanted jade to look sexy and powerful so i just asked her to look into the camera. If i edited this photo, cropped it closer to her face and made it brighter id use this photo for either contents page or double page spread.











Umbrella Shots.

Picture 1.
*I dont like this photo as some of the umbrella is cut out of the shot and also jades does not look comfotable so i wouldnt use this picture in my magazine.











Picture 2.
*Again i dont like this photo as jades face does not look good plus the umbrella is not all the the shoot. I was not pleased with my photos that came out from the umbrella shot but i feel that the other photos represnt Jade being Lady GaGa much more.

Example Of Lady GaGa Double Page Spreads.

This is an example of to double page spreads featuring Lady GaGa. This is from More magazine and even though its a womans fashion magazine i still had a look at the layout and desgin. The way they have her on the right hand page and the big font is excatly want i drew out in my desgins and i really like it.
The way her 'Quote' is in a bigger font gives the readers and insight on the interview and makes them want to read more.
Again like my desgins they have put other picturte of Lady GaGa from outside the More photoshot. By looking at this desgin and others it has given me alot of ideas for my own magazine.

Ideas For Front Cover.

This is my first rough sketch of my front cover. I like the way the name of the magazine will be bold and eye catching with the exclimation mark next to it, to make it that little bit stronger.
My main image is close up of Lady GaGa with her fingers and hand doing the 'Rocker' sign. Just by doing this sign it will appeal to the more indie/rock audience that i would like to read my magazine. Also her make-up will be very bright and eye catching so it draws attention to the magzine amongst all the other magazines that will be on the shelf.
The font of the main interview title will be bold with an exclimation mark next to it to match the name of the magazine. By having it at the bottom in large lettering it's like a sort of caption for the main image. Also by having the words 'Exclusive Interview' underneath means that the reader knows it's a real,new interview from Lady GaGa herself and in a way makes them want to read it more.Also on the front cover i put two other stories and pictures beside the main image. This also shows the reader the toher stories,interviews and reviews that will be in that weeks issue of the magazine.
I put a pug of the price on the top left hand conor so that it is visable amongst other magazines. By doing this the reader knows the cheap price of the magazine witout having to even pick it up.

For my second skecth i drew it alot more simple and less busy to see what it would look like, and i think it looks quiet boring and its not the look for my genre of music.
The main image is again a close up of Lady Gaga but just looking into the camera.
Instead of having the main articale headline in the middel or the bottom i decieded to see what it looks like down the side, and it doesnt look as nice as the other front cover above.
I drew the other headings and pictures on the bottomw right hand conor as thewy would be perfectly fitted into the gal of Lady GaGa's sholder and the Barcode. This is not my favirote front cover so im going to use the first front cover as it fits my Genre of music and is alot more eye cathing.

Ideas For Contents Page.

This is my first idea of my Contents page. My first intial design came from the idea of NME magazine with a few images to make the page look interesting. There are captions under or above the pictures and page numbers so you can find the articles quick and easy. The contents is very simple to read and easily laded out. The number fonts are bigger than the title of the artical becuase it makes the page look alot more fun. I put a pug in the middle of the page to draw the readers attention to the compotion.
I put the editorial at the top because this is what most magazine do plus it gives the reader an idea of what the issue is portraying for this week or month.
At the very top i drew a strip that has just the magazines name so that again it could remind the reader the magazine that they are buying and also the logo.

For my second idea i used the same componets but just moved things around and removed the pug. I really like the way the conets is easy to read and simple to find what your looking for. I put the pictures down the side nearly next to where the contents says the artical page. By doing this the reader's attention is drawn to the picture then next to it is the page number so it will be alot easyer to find.

I decied to put the editoral at the bottom right hand conor and also this time put a picture of the editor there aswell. By puttin in the conor you have more space to write in the contents and also more space for the pictures.

For my third contents page i decied to make the page look fun by placing the photos in diffrent places over the pages and also putting a big pug the pictures. The contents is very simple. Its not on the drawing but i wanted the contents number and names to be a stright line down the middle with everyhtink around it and the Editoral at the bottom. Also there are no captions on the photo's except the main artical about Lady GaGa. I dont like this contents as its not very informative and is also a little messy. Out of all the contents pages i really like the second one as its eye catching and fun but also informative and also sophisticated.

Ideas For Double Page Spread.

For my first sketch i done it really simple by having the interview on the left hand side and having one big photo of Lady Gaga on the right hand side. The word 'Lady' will be in a quiet small font but then the font 'GaGa' will be bigger. By doing this the readers attention will be caught by the big lettering. The intreview will be very simply laied out using diffrent colour fonts for the interviwer and Lady GaGa, this shows who is saying what and is a simply way of showing this. On the photo there will be two qoutes of Lady GaGa which makes the picture alot more intresting. The back ground will all be white with bits of pink to make it a little bit girly.
Also ive put a few pictures of Lady GaGa next to the interview to show her diffrent looks from how she looks in the magazine, these pictures will be pictures of her either from the red carpet or paparazzie pictures.



For my second desgin i decied to have Lady GaGa's name all in the same large bold font to catch the eye. The interview layout is the same as the first desgin, very simple and easy to read. The picture is again on the right hand side but i decied to have Lady GaGa in a full body view with a prop. This makes the picture alot more intresting than just a head shot. Aagin there are quotes in the picture to pick out parts of the interview. I'm really growing to this desgin as its fun and also shows Lady GaGa's diffrent side. Again ill also put in diffrent pictures of lady GaGa to make the double page spread more intresting.



For my third double page spread i done thing totally diffrent. I swapped around the picture and the interview so there on diffrent sides. By having the picture on the other side peoples attention doesnt go stright to the picture and then turn over, they look at the picture and then the interview next to it. The main image is a head shot/close up of Lady GaGa to fill up the page. The title 'Are Youg Going GAGA?' is catchy so im deffinatly going to use that in my final peice. The interview is alot smaller than the others as ive made room her more picture os her and also to show off her New clothes line which is advertisment in an interview.
Out off all the double page spreads i think im going to use the title and font of spread 3 but the layout of spread 2. By using both good points of each spread i can hopfully make a really good double page for my Magazine.
