Second Photo Shoot

Yesterday I had my second photo shoot using the black backdrop for Origin Magazine.

The photo shoot did not go to plan as I wasn't able to get the props (guitar & microphone) for the models. I improvised by using a white umbrella as a prop for my female model. This would link to one of my cover lines, 'sneak peek: Alicia Keys New Album Photos'. However I had to cancel my male model (cover star) photo shoot as there was no alternative idea. I would have to reschedule another photo shoot due to this and make sure I booked the prop in advance. On the plus side the images came out great and I will choose the best one and use it for my contents page.

I have my second photo shoot tomorrow at 3:10pm in the Studio. I hope everything goes to plan and the pictures come out good.

I edited the image to make it brighter by going to Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast. This allowed me to increase the brightness of the image so there are no dark shades on the picture. I then started to add other cover lines using the font Rockwell and changed the font of the skyline also to Rockwell.

To continue I will think of more creative cover lines to go on the cover to attract my target audience. I will also try to get the masthead to go behind the cover star using the eraser tool.

I have made progress on the magazine. I placed the image of my cover star on Photoshop and I have placed a bar code and QR code that takes you directly to my media blog. I didn't like how the masthead I created on Illustrator looked with the image so I decided to make the masthead directly on Photoshop. I used the blending options to make the masthead and main cover line stand out.

To continue my progress I will add the rest over the cover lines and add a puff. I may also consider doing another photo shoot with just a white background to see which background looks better (grey or white).

First Photo Shoot

Last week Thursday I done my first photo shoot in the studio (using the white back drop) for Origin magazine. 

Set for the photo shoot

 I positioned the 2 of the soft boxes away from the background to create a grey background for the photos.

My model was a male.I took loads of photos so that I would have a variety of pictures to choose from. I am now going to choose the best images for the front cover and contents page as this is my cover star.

Started producing the front cover for Origin magazine. This is what I have done so far. I have placed the masthead, skyline, pricing and date. I hope to put the image of my cover star on the page so I can put the cover lines on.

Masthead for Origin Magazine

This is the masthead I'll be using for my music magazine. Now I can start to produce the front cover, contents page and double page spread.
