This week i started designing my front cover draft. This involved the use of Adobe photoshop which i am not very compitent on. this may pose a problem due to me having to do the coursework on Photoshop.
I have started by addding my masthead in and backgrpound colour which is white. I have not chosen the picture yet but have narrowed it down to 100. Some of the pictures i have chosen i will definatley use somewhere in the coursework due to them being a stereotypical picture found in a music magazine.

Week 9
This week was the photoshoot. This was a massive part in my magazine as the images were to be scattered all over my coursework. This meant my images had to look professional and be able to capture the target
audience i am looking for.
I first brought in two models who where a band. I then took over 300 photos of them around different locations throughout the school. I had to get a wide variety of photos as i didnt really know what sought of picture i wanted on the front cover. I took alot of inspiration from other famous photoshoots e.g. foo fighters and The Beatles. I managed to get the pictures i was looking for in the end and the other photos which will feature all over the magazine.

Week 8
This week I carried on with the planning of my Magazine coursework. I created a Masthead collage. The masthead had lots of different styles to give me a nice variety of mastheads to use.
I also added in a business features and contents prezi. This explains what will be featured in my magazine and how i will market it e.g. Price. The features section explain what will be in my magazine and how i will set it out. for example i mentioned that on the front cover I will feature models and sell lines to draw the customer in. The business section explained why i will price my magazine at the rate i do. For example i am pricing it at £1.99 because it is cheaper than my competitors and this means i can compete with them.

Week 6
This week i carried on improving some items as i felt they werent adequate. I improved my mood board to include more pictures of what my genre is about this meant i added in more pictures of clothes and artists of the genre.
I also improved my proposal which i thought was a bit short and didn't explain alot of what i will be trying to achieve in my magazine. I also added more to the target audience for similar reasons as the proposal. I also carried out some individual research on music magazines that will be similar to mine. I looked at Q, Kerrang and NME which would all be rivals to me in the music magazine industry.

Week 5
This week I cleaned up my blog and added some more information to my designs. I have started re-doing my mood board and colour connotations as they were not up to standard and did not include enough information. I have also had to restart my key concepts which got deleted before i could get it uploaded.
I also need to add some more answers to my survey so i need to get people to vote on my blog. This means i can get significant data to design my magazine coursework. To do this i used the social networking site Facebook to tell people to vote. this means i get lots of people to vote on my blog and better results and more conclusive results.
