Photoshoot 1

Contents pages

I like this contents page as it is simple & uses three main colours, despite using a limited amount of colour the page is still eye catching. The pictures used are cut different & set in the middle of the page to draw eye contact towards the center of the page. The text is all of a similar font but each heading it highlighted in a specific colour to outline it more. I personally really like the scrap book look of the 'band index' its different and appealing.

Rankin

John Rankin Waddell is a British portrait and fashion photographer.
He has Photographed for GQ, ELLE, VOGUE, ESQUIRE DAZED & CONFUSED and various other maagzines like that. He also does fashion and beauty shoots around the world for various alisters.



After looking at various covers he has produced i decided i like this one best, at firts i had to look back at it again as i couldnt tell if that was actually Beth Dittos mouth, i like this idea it draws your eye to the magazine and makes it individual. I think rankins style of photography is very unique and has inspired me for my photography.

EAR CANDY

After coming up with various masthead ideas, i decided that SOS, (Sequence of Sound) inspired by NME & Ear Candy were my favorite and after thinking about my target audience and the style of the magazine i wanted to create.
I then looked at various fonts from my masthead and i decided that ear candy looks better when wrote out as apposed to SOS as it is short and easily disappears into the background and my front page will be very bright,bold and messy and i need to masthead to be clear eye catching.

NYLON

Nylon is an American magazine that focuses on pop culture and fashion. Its coverage includes art, beauty, music, design, celebrities, technology and travel.

Nylon magazine reminds me of a younger more Urban Vogue.
I like it because it is messy and unlike Vogue does a woman's and a men's magazine, i like this because most magazines are either for women or for men. Nylon does one for each. This particular magazine has the same qualities as Super Super as it is messy, colourful and bold.

I chose to analyse this cover as it is 'The Music' issue. I really like the way the masthead and the slogan 'school of rock' looks hand written and edgy. There are alot of cover lines on the front and compared to some of the minimalistic covers Ive looked at i think i prefer the more messy creative ones. i also like on this cover how some parts have been highlighted and that three colours have been used, bright eye catching ones to generate attention to the cover. There is a range of fonts used and different sizes this adds to the unorganised order of the page.

LOOKBOOK

MY PROFILE

WOW

I LOVE THIS

DAZED & CONFUSED

Dazed & Confused is a British style magazine,that was set up in 1992 and published monthly. Its founding editors were Jefferson Hack and Rankin. Topics covered include music, fashion, film, art and literature.





Both these covers use models i have already looked at on, the one to the right uses Luke Worrall and to the left Ash Stymest.

I'm inspired by both covers as they are very minimalistic but they still are eye catching maybe because of the choice of photograph and the positioning on the page. Both photos are very suggestive and provocative and the slogan on the one on the right "sex me up" suggests that this magazine could quite easily be for an adult target market which is very wrong & you would work this out when you opened the magazine, i like this as it is very mysterious. I also like the way the masthead is layed out on the front as it is different to other magazine mastheads. The cover lines are fairly basic and minimal also. Unlike other magazines Dazed & Confused uses two colours on the front of their page like black and red or grey and white. I like this as it adds to the minimalistic style of the magazines and breaks 'the rules' which this magazine does alot.

POLAROID

I like the idea of using a strip of Polaroid images on the front of my magazine as they are very different and look retro and compliment the style of music I'm looking at.
