Photo's that could possibly be used as a background/fake album cover

 This is my first photograph which I took only a few weeks ago. I really like this picture as the sunset is very bright and really stands out - perfect to help a magazine stand out over all others. I think the bright sunset would really catch my audiences eye.
 
 
This is my second photograph, this was taken around the end of July. I really like this photo as well and I think that it would suit the Indie theme really well.
I think that the black and white would go well will my house style and would emphasise the mysterious effect of my magazine.
I like the fact that you can see the reflection of the two boys (Liam and Alex) in the water.

Prezi - Rejection from photoshoot - Oliver

Planning a photoshoot3.

Yesterday I planned with the band a photo shoot for Monday, after college. At the shoot I will interview each member individual, and then at the same time/just after I will take some individual photographs.
When I have interviewed everyone I will then move on to taking group photographs. Depending on the weather I will try and get the band outside so that I have a different background.

More photos that could be used as backgrounds/fake album covers.

 I love this photo as the sky, clouds and plants look really nice. I love taking pictures of silhouettes as I think that they look beautiful and you can do it with anything.

Planning a second photo shoot.

I have been trying to organise a second photo shoot with the band peaceful panic.
At the moment I am having some trouble finding a date that I am able to gather the members of the band together, this is because they are in their second year of college and have deadline dates for their subject's coursework. Another reason why they are having trouble with getting together is that one of the members lives a long distance away and is only available at certain times during the week, of which the other members are either busy with their college work, or busy with their jobs.
Therefore, to overcome this issue I am going to have to take individual photos of each member during next week, then Photoshop them together to create a single image.
I will take to photographs on a black background so that it is easier to manipulate them together.  

What happened in my photo shoot?

On Friday I had my photo shoot.
The photos I took on Friday are what I am going to use for my contents page. I took pictures of Patrick Wilson and Oliver O'Brien.
I asked each of them to bring in a hat and some glasses so that I could pose them as different people.
Overall I think that the photo shoot went very well and I think I took some good photos that I will be able to use for my contents page.  
When organising the shoot I had no trouble when asking my models to bring in equipment as they already had what I needed, although Patrick did not bring in a hat, he brought with him a hoody which was just as useful.
During my photo shoot I did not have to worry about make-up as both of my models were male and I feel that they did not need it.
I will upload my photos on Monday when I am back in college.

Updated and final ideas - cover.

What will my cover look like;
  • At the top of my cover will be the title. The title will have a black banner behind it.

  • A photo of the band will cover the front cover, I will arrange the band so that there are two boys at the front and then three at the back. Not only will this look tidy, I will leave plenty of space for pugs and advertisements.

  • Around the sides of my page will be advertisements and exclusives on what it inside the magazine + what you will be reading about.

  • There will be a bar code on the bottom right of the page, this will be joined by the issue number so that my magazine will follower convention.


What will the colour of the cover be;
  • I would like the background for my magazine to be a very dark blue/black/white and I am going to experiment with this when I design the cover to see what will fit best.
