Creation of Front Cover

During the making of my Front Cover, Contents Page and DPS I took screen shots at each noticeable point that a change was made to show the steps in making it.

 FRONT COVER

First Draft:


Over the first draft I looked at what could be changed and thought to tone down on the brightness, the light on the image just feels out of place when coming to the front cover and made a few fine detail fixes on the image that were missed originally.

Sorting out Photos for Production

During the first Photo Session I had I had accumulated around 123 Photo. While taking the photos I tried making other ideas aside my initial plans for poses of photos though I came across staying with my original ideas mentioned in my past post of planning for the photo.

Over the different poses I had to filter to find the 'best' picture of each one as some would have been when my model wasn't ready or it just didn't look as planned and needed adjustment. A long set of photos were taken so I pick groups of each pose to display showing changes and such in the process of it.

Planning for Photos

For planning I have looked at music magazines to get an idea of what my chosen model should wear and how they should pose, look,and wear. All relating with Cinematography and Mise En Scene for the shoot.

What I would need to know is the recommended clothes, colours, facial expression, poses and angles of the shot and what should be for a background if necessary.

My target of magazine would be to make an EDM magazine so looking into EDM magazine would be appropriate to do to get a sense of what I would need for my own magazine

IMAGES OF EDM MAGAZINES

With these front covers this will help give me idea on the dress sense of what my model should have and help towards a final design concept for my front cover, I should also look into each magazines for the contents page and DPS using some features and adding my own. With this I have seen what I need for my model

For clothes it seems to be simple in most, most have a shirt of one or two colours while there would be the occasional  shirt that would have a design or pattern but for mine I will keep with the most common which would be to have a T- shirt or polo Shirt with one or two colours. 

If there was to be more than just a T -shirt on top would normally be a smart Jacket / Blazer or a Denim or Leather Jacket. There isn't much use of ties except the last Image (Rolling Stones - Daft Punk). 

Most clothing choices would lead to casual formal design while some would look very smart (Suit, Tie, Formal Trousers) and others set back and just full casual (Simple Shirt, Jeans / Chinos). 

For shoes if it was a Casual or Casual Formal choice the shoes would be something such as Casual boots or Trainers. However in most of the shots they go above the waist or even just Close ups to where shoes would not be noticed

Given in some magazine some more know artists have masks / helmets to for some sort of recognition, rather than presenting their face they should their mask / helmet.

Pose / Stance / Position / Facial Expression

This would have to split for each page that would be done. Front Cover, Contents Page and DPS. I can use the First set of Images that were shown but I would also then need to show examples of contents pages. For EDM magazines I've come across a few that dont do content pages but a fairly large editor's message / letter and most make it sound like how they want the reader to explore it rather than pick out their own interests. Being that EDM Magazine does this and is a common Magazines for the EDM genre can show alot. Other magazines such a MixMag and BPM do have content pages and will what I will use for examples for images relating to the contents page and will use all three for the Double Page Spread examples and ideas.

Starting with a front cover my idea would be to have a serious and funny style to it, I would have two models to which one would be partially serious and the other would be silly and doing funny stuff. The intended Idea would be to show the contrast of EDM magazines. As you see in some front covers aside serious faces there some smiling or grinning and even the Iconic figure Deadmau5 who wear's his mouse helmet that look happy and makes it feel a bit less serious is what I would want to do.

For Contents the idea was to have both model on either side with the contents running down the center of the page and other details to the side, though I feel I might need to make changes in this, I would make it more simple, having the page split in half, with one half having things such as Editor's note, Social media information or even the highlighted article. Along with an image for the highlighted article.

For something of the DPS I would aim for something with a full body shot, given space for text on the page the pose would be something to show the models full body, being able to work with that I would add to have an image that looked laid back but still kept with the EDM genre.
