Camera Used

Lumix FZ28

This photograph was chosen to be the main image on my double page spread. The idea of it was to have black pages and then the image would blend in only to reveal the mask and flame. i thought this would be a good idea considering the theme is dark and scary. i think the story i had in mind would go perfectly with this image as this is my favourite photograph because i think it looks professional. I am trying to keep my magazine classy and not tacky to insure it looks like it was made by a real magazine designer, this is one of the reasons i kept the colouring very simple to ensure the colours did not clash and create a very primary look. also the type of music advertised is rock/metal. This music often uses these particular colours. this image i thought was perfect in this situation to use as a double page spread.

I have chosen these two images of the models eyes to display on one of the pages in my music magazine, i think the detail that is shown makes the photographs look scary, which is the them for my magazine. the shadowing around the the eyes create a dark look. i am going to place the images together because i think they look best close and creates a moment where the eyes open and close, they don't look very interesting set apart. I have used the same model just to show that the images in my magazine are not always going to have there faces covered, however i am aiming to keep a sense of mystery for the models as there whole face is never presented just there features. e.g. mouths eyes etc, or they will be wearing masks, glasses, other facial cover ups to match that story that's being viewed.

Evaluation Of Photographs

i have chosen this photograph to use for my front cover, i think the way the

model is positioned leave plenty of room for the magazine heading and other information to be presented down each side. by photographing the model already on a white background saves me editing and cutting the model out to place onto another background. i also think the shadowing around the outside leaves a good effect which i would lose if i edited the model out. by using black and white gives the image a sharpened look which i think compares well to the style of my magazine. my aim is to keep to the same similar colouring throughout all of my final pieces. adding a little colour to stand out. i realise it is rare to find a magazine that specifically specialises in grey scale colouring but i am hoping that by seeing through my idea's will give my magazine a chance of being fresh to the shelves, by presenting itself as simple,new and different.
