 increased brightness of image and gave text an outline, there are some issues with shadows from where I cut my model out to put her in front of my masthead so will have to try and solve that issue.

I made image brighter and tried and tested fonts to add models name. I will need to reshoot photos to make them brighter and change models hand positioning so it is easier for me to add text around my model.

I tested out fonts for my masthead and chose my first front cover.

 here are my first shoot photos, when shooting I recorded a video and took screenshots from this of the stills I liked, this is why there are less images of some settings than others.

NEA initial thoughts

 

INITIAL IDEAS:

16-25 'style conscious'- take inspiration from iconic fashion magazines such as Vogue or GQ as these are well known by the age range due to their global reach. More recently I feel their magazines have been getting a lot more plain. social media is reviving the 2000s look, with old trends such as low rise clothing coming back to life. I want to capitalise on this and theme my magazine around this era, making my cover more lively than the modern ones seen today. this will help me attract my audience as it will be something different from the plain covers usually seen today.

‘Middle and up market’- able to promote more expensive products. Audience will be literate and well educated, include intertextual references to keep audience satisfied. 

The age range will have a strong social media presence, my magazine should include promotion of Instagram/TikTok accounts for my brand so my audience is more engaged and interactive. 

Double page spread- discuss any fashion events or trends, could include celebrity drama for the younger audience.  

Typically, these magazines will feature a celebrity on the cover, while I cannot replicate this, I can use the same techniques such as direct address as well as angles and lighting to make my magazine feel as upscale as possible. My model should also wear similar, expressive clothes.
