Contact sheet - photoshoot

 

I am mostly happy with these photos, I think there are some good ones which I will use either on the contents page or on the website. I think ones which I will not use are ones where she is less posed, although I like the ones where she is laughing or smiling naturally. Some of the photos with the black background have bad lighting so I will not be using those. Some need cropping or slight editing.

Name Change

 I have decided to change the name of my magazine from 'PAUSE' to 'THE DROP'. I was unsure on pause as it sounds like 'paws' and it potentially does not have the best link to music. The drop is used when announcing new music so I think it will work well. I used one of my testshots to try it out as a masthead.

Plan

 Photoshoot:

I am going to be using my friend Belle for my photoshoot. I would like to do a mix of head shots as well as more posed shots as seen on my moodboard. Some of these pictures are taken outside, so I could go onto the field to take a few but others have bold backdrops. As these are not the front cover photos, she will not have to make eye contact but some may be more effective if she does. These pictures could be used as photos for articles or in the gallery section on my website.

Website:

I would like to use bright and bold colours and fonts on my website to maintain the brand from the covers. There will be lots of article covers, photos, merch, social media links, and a gallery. I also need to include a short video which I could put in one of the articles about the cover stars.

I thought on the main page underneath the title, there could be poster- style images or the front covers underneath. However, this could potentially look messy or disorganised so I could use a more clean background.

I have started my website on Wix and created this as the beginning of the home page.
