photos



This image is to illustrate to new fashion in pop music, jeans and spotty tops. In this image the model has clearly been told to make eye contact with the camera but to look as though its natural.

These two images are of the couple/band that have split up. in this first image both the people are looking away from the camera, as if they don't know that The pictures are being taken. In the second picture (picture below) both the people are looking at the camera so they have eye contact with the viewer.







The image is a good image although the lighting isn't quite right and the people in the band don't have the right sort of look. The girl in the image looks to grumpy for a pop magazine.



This image will be used on the front cover of the magazine, the white background means that it can easily be put onto the front cover. Both the people in the image have eye contact with the camera and are smiling .


This image is the band backstage chilling out and having a laugh the image is good as neither of the people are looking a the cameras and they are enjoying themselves and are ignoring that people are taking pictures of them. it shows the other sides to the band members.


This image is more that they are playing to the cameras but it is a good image as they are showing the side of their group that less people are likely to see. The backstage images are meant to be that the group show what they are like after gigs and when they are not performing or have to be pop stars, it id of when they can be themselves.



In this one they are looking to at the camera and they are acting for the cameras. This image shows that they group are good friends and they get along well but the setting for the image is quite simple and basic. The plain background makes the viewer think that the dressing rooms are plain and boring.


This picture is a back stage image of the male member of the group, this is more a rehearsed picture but it shows that the band play around backstage after gigs. This is in one of the corridors leading to the dressing rooms.



this image is meant to be in the big room that the group hang out in after in the backstage area, this also shows that the group are good friends and that they mess around all the time. The setting as can be seen is that they have a large TV and sofas as well as a view to outside with a private terrace.


This images is of the female member of the band she is sitting on the stairs that lead up to the backstage areas, this is at the back of the stage,the decor of the image is posh as they were performing in a posh expensive venue and this is why the stairs are carpeted.



This is an image that is similar to the one above it, although this image is slightly out of focus but it has the whole image and is a long to mid shot of the pop star.


This picture is of the male member of the band,The image above this one is more of a rehearsed shot where the person has been told how to sit and look a the camera.


This image is also a relaxed image



I have chosen the first image rather than the other two images as this image shows the band member posing for the camera, the image has been thought about and rehearsed so that it is right for the cameras but also has the idea of the image being relaxed.




These two images are of the female member of the band I think that both these are good as they show the readers the side of the band members that they wouldn't normally see, the band members rehearsing their lines shows that everyone human and that also pop stars have to learn the lyrics even if they wrote the songs themselves. The image has also been taken when the singer isn't looking at the camera so its like shes been caught off guard.




This image is better than the one above as it is more focused on her and the image is lighter than the one above.

fonts

The theme of the magazine is happy, so the fonts that I use have to be happy and reflect the tone of the magazine.



The first font I have chosen is BILLO because it is fun and bubbly, it fits in with the theme of the magazine because its a simple and fun style that will engage with both the younger and older audiences. The bad things about this font are that it could be too girly and the male readers may not be interested in the magazine.





The second font I have chosen is popstar autograph, i have chosen this font because its simple and easy to read, it doesn't fit in with the theme of the magazine as well as the theme above but it still links in with the theme as it has a handwriting style to it like an autograph. The bad things about this font are that its quite thin and it might not stand out.





The third of the font i have chosen is cheri. I have chosen this font as it has a funky, happy feeling to it and it fits in with the theme of the magazine.
The font that I have chosen to use on my magazine is the first one BILLO, this is because it feels happy and funky and fun style that is simple and create the mood that I want for my magazine
