More participants were interested in bright and permanent colour and also help me to identify a fair price for my megazine

RESEARCH PART:2SIMILAR PRODUCTS

RESEARCH REPORT ON SIMILAR PRODUCTSThis part of research was bit troublesome because If we talk about Pakistan there no particular magazines are present here on related topic currently so I had to take photos from internet and that helped me a lot. I searched alot on internet on international magazines that are been published on car sports and racing and was inspired by these two cover photos and took idea for my magazine from these.

‘’STOCK CAR RACING’’ CAR RACER MEGAZINE

‘’NASCAR ILLUSTRATED’’ CAR RACING MEGAZINE

These magazine follow certain convention, Masthead is placed on top left corner of the cover page, main pictures are full shot of the racer in action.

PICTURES TAKEN FOR MAIN TASK:Following are the pictures I did not use in my

main task:

These pictures were to large for my Main task, These were quite good pictures but sadly does not seem to me like an action shot.In the first picture the feet is hidden so that was a bad picture, and In the third picture the racer is hidden so no point of that picture to be any where in my magazine.

Following are the pictures I did use for my MAIN TASK:

I want to use these pictures due to number of reasons. The first two are good action shots,with approiate angles. They also help in adding energetic feel to the final product which Is something that I personally want to achieve and thought it is important since it is featuring a car racer. The last closeup picture of the star in his home, which gives the viewers an insight into his life.

REJECTED PICTURES FOR MY MAIN TASK:

I SHOWED THESE PICTURES TO MY FRIENDS FOR THEIR FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTED THAT NOT TO MAKE MEGAZINE BY USING THESE PICTURES,AS YOU CAN SEE THESE PICTURES ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE AND YOU WANT DAYLIGHT/ SHINNING PICTURES FOR YOU MEGAZINE TO ATTRACT PEOPLES FOR BUYING YOUR MEGAZINE INSTEAD OF OTHERS AND THIS CAR IS ALSO NOT LOOKING 'RACING CAR' THATS WHY ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR MY 'DRIVING PASSION' MEGAZINEE! SO DECIDED TO PHOTOSHOOT AGAIN OF THIS GUY 'FARUKH SHEIKH' WITH HIS SECOND CAR ( BLACK COLOUR CORALLA) BECAUSE A GOOD  RACING CAR DOES MATTER FOR MY "DRIVING PASSION "MEGAZINE( PEOPLE WILL NOT IMPRESS BY LOW CLASS CARS AND NOR THEY ARE INTRESTED IN THIS TYPE OF CARS)
