I like this font because it seems very feminine and also I think it is the kind of

font that would attract peoples attention.

I like this font because it is very bold and to the point, however I don’t like the filling of this font so if I chose it I would have to alter it and change the

colour to something plain.

I like this font because its very sophisticated which suits the wording, however I don’t think this would suit

the genre picked; R&B

I like this font because similar to the one opposite it is sophisticated and feminine which would help

us target our audience.

I like this font because its very bold and eye catching, I also think its relevant to the genre as its quite lairy.

This font is quite unusual like the word, however it is plain, which I think is needed for such a complex word.

This font is plan and has a sense of originality with the shape of the letters, I like this because this too is feminine but I can also imagine it being the font

for the name of a magazine cover.

I think our image would best suit not being in any particular location for the front cover image, and

just have a plain coloured background to make the

image of the person stand out.

Clothes that I think would look most appealing on the person would be

clothes that are in contrast to the colour of the background to make them stand out, so for example if there was a plain

white background, they should wear colours that would stand out, like purple.

The only thing I think we would take into consideration in the Mise En Scene area is the

costume, as I don’t think we would use any props in the front cover image or there wouldn’t be

a specific setting in the background, just a plain coloured

background.

Make Up on the female artist I use for my images

I would like to be clear that they are wearing

makeup however not to over the top as I want to

keep it quite simple, I want facial expressions

and body language to be more eye catching than

the make up.

I want the hair on both artists to be styled either way. With

the male I think a simple spikey hair style would look

good as quite a few R&B stars do that, however with the female I’d want it to be styled more and maybe be

put up and curly.

The styling would be based on the stereotypes of R&B so

their body language would be that their posing in a certain way, not really smiling in all

the pictures, but posing.

I think a plain white background will be most useful for my main image this will allow the image to stand out. I will find

somewhere in school to take a photo to suit

this.

I think that clothes that contrast to the colour of the background will be best as the contrast in colours will allow them to stand out. I think using clothes to suit a stereotype will be best or clothes that

suit the genre that I have chosen for my magazine.

When considering Mise En Scene the factors I will take into account are costume. I have not used props in my

image, I will use a plain white image for my background,

this will be located in school.

The main image on the front of my

magazine is a simple image of a male artist therefore no-make up is necessary for this image. I want body

image and facial expressions to be the

main focus of attention.

I want the hair on my main artist to be a stereotype, I have concluded that there are many male artists with

spiky hair so this will represent the male artist I

have used. I think this style will be most suited for my

magazine.

The styling would be based on the stereotypes of R&B so

their body language would not be showing a particular pose,

just a face on non-posing face.

CHARLOTTE:

Images; A variety of different distances and angles.

This photo is a medium close up , I like this photo because she is looking to the floor which gives the impression of mystery, also you can see her accessories and the way her hair is styled clearly which I think is important for an artist as I think image plays a big part to music artists.

I like this image because it has a lot of facial expression to it, which I think shows emotion and feeling which is important in music artists. She is also looking directly to the camera which makes a bond between her and the reader as it is like her focus is on the reader.

I like this photo because I think its quite stylish and the way he’s posing is relevant to the magazine as R&B artists seem to look like this, he is also fallowing the fashion trends so looks quite appealing. I think this photo is the one I am most likely to use in my front cover as it stands out most to me.

I like this photo as he has a lot of body language, the photo is also taken at a lower angle so it makes him look like he’s got some authority. He is also looking at the camera so there is an interaction between him and the reader.

CHARLOTTE:

From the photos I have taken, I prefer this one for the main one, this most likely represents the artist I am showing. I had two images which were front on so I thought an image at this angle will be best to attract the audience to buy the magazine.

He is also looking at the camera so there is an interaction between him and the reader.

When producing the magazine we will have to take into consideration the size of the magazine and make it 21 cm by 29.7 cm for the front page and also the contents, but then for the double page spread double the 21 cm to 42 cm.
