Monday 15th September

Over the weekend I have continued to look through magazines for the double page spread about the artist on the cover. I looked for a style of writing and ways in which I can present the information about the music artist.
I like this style of writing because its stands out and looks professional.

I also like this layout. It is eye catching and because of the different coloured backgrounds, it looks like there is different importance to each section.


Also over the weekend I though of where and who will be in the photo shot. I thought about what the person should wear, if there should be an object; if so, what object, where the shot should take place and what angels should it be shot at.

IDEAS
Clothes; Indie style, Ball gown style, Smart(suits)
Places; Spiral staircase, bedroom, lounge, garden, beach, white background
Object(s); guitar, drums, drum sticks, mike
People; solo singer, solo singer/guitarist, duo, a group of 4, (all girls)

I decided to try a few ideas out and take a few sample pictures.
Clothes; Indie style
Places; Spiral staircase
Object(s); guitar
People; solo singer/guitarist


I like they way the picture on the right has used a different angel, it makes the image look much more interesting. However the focus is mainly on the person and not on the object. It looks as if the object and the person are seperate and I would prefer the focus to be in the middle and to look as if the person and object are connected. This would give more emotion to the image.
In the picture on the left, the person looks like they are posing too much for the shot. Also i find that sitting on the stairs it seems awkward and uncomfortable.

Taking and now looking at these pictures, I have had second thoughts on having my final product with an image of the spiral staircase. However, the idea is still in my mind.
