Mood board

Thoughts for my magazine

First edition:

I want to use the beach for my landscape in the photos, this could include photos in the sea and on the sand, but also I would like to use fields and parks. It could alternate between the pictures in the magazine and on the website. Here I created a mood board of inspiration:

Second edition:

On this edition, I would like to use the studio shot to create a powerful mid-shot image of a solo artist. I think I will use a plain background to keep the glossy and high end appearance.

Initial ideas

Initial ideas for the music magazine:

I want my magazine to stand out and have flare to it. Therefore, I will brainstorm some of my favourite styles of magazines with my favourite artists on it and get a greater understanding of my inspiration. By doing this I can get a general idea of what kind of genre, shot type, lighting etc I want to do.

I really like how light and bright colours look on the magazines, I plan to use a landscape in the background of my images instead of just a plain coloured background. I think if I use a detailed background then it can add depth to the image and it could work really well for the music magazine.

Chosen brief

I have decided to choose the option of Brief 3: Magazines and online. I am interested in this brief because I think I will really enjoy the topic of Music in the magazine and also I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to music media. I think I will have fun coming up with ideas and plans to bring my vision to light. Moreover, I knew I didn’t want to do a Music Video because I didn’t like the layout of iMovie and I found it confusing, so I think using photoshop and other similar platforms for the magazine will be much easier for me and it will allow me to give the magazine my full potential.
