My Finished Magazine

front cover issue

i was struggling to figure out the colour scheme to use on my front cover as my main image is shot in black and white. so i looked at other black and white magazine front covers and come too a decision that i will either have to work around my original frontcover and incorporate ideas and housestyles from existing magazines or re-shoot my model, in the exact same place and position but without shooting in black and white.

In the end i decided to stick to my original image and not re-shoot and im happy with the end result that i managed to create for my front cover due to the colour scheme and image problem.

Double Page Spread.... (Working Process)

• this is my double page spread so far, as you can see i used the idea of one side of the page being a picture and the other side text. i also incorportated the idea of the big masthead but to make sure i didnt comply the magazine completely i reduced the size if it.
• i like the idea of having a pull quote in the middle of the text as it draws attention to text making the reader more interested.
• in addition to this i like the layout of the second magazine example but i think the layout of the first magazine example will work best with my genre of magazine.

•  this is my final and finished double page spread.

front cover so far...

Finished product.

contents page so far...

The finished product

in the end i decided to change the whole appearacne of the contents page as i found that it was not very strong when it looked like this.

so i made changes and this is now the finished product.

second photoshoot part2

Out of all the pictures i have taken i believe that this set of images, with this male model is the strongest but i particularly think that the third, seventh and eighth pictures out of this set are the strongest, as they draw most attention to the viewer.
