Original And Edited Front Cover Image

Original Image                                                         Edited Image

 I edited the image to make it look more professional and suitable for the front cover. I needed to adjust the sizing of the image too, so it would fit accordingly to the size and layout of the cover. The original image had a shadow around the outside of the model which looked quite unprofessional for a front cover of a magazine. Therefore I used a photo editing programme which allowed me to remove the shadow without the image becoming tacky. The original image also looked quite sharp so i continued to use the editing programme to soften the photograph. This made the image look more proffessional so that it would work well on the cover.



Level 4 Product

• To achieve a level 4 a range of different shot types and distances need to be used for images used to show technical skills
• Also, the correct and suitable mise-en-scene needs to be used according to the specific genre that is being displayed throughout the magazine
• Manipulating of the photographs needs to be shown of a high standard
• Accurate language needs to be used which is appropriate for the specific target audience.
• An understanding of typical conventions of a page layout needs to be displayed to a high standard
• Integrating of the text and images needs to be displayed appropriately with a variety of different font colours and sizes being used.

Font Planning

The front cover of my magazine needs to be kept simple and needs to have a sophisticated appearance, therefore I will use a maximum of 3 fonts. Also, by keeping the amount of fonts I use to a mimimum it will make the cover appear ordered and less cluttered. As my magazine is predominantly aimed at the female audience I will need to use suitable font types which will appeal to them. In the contents page and double page spread of my magazine the text needs to be easy to read, so the font needs to be less complicted and quite basic. Also, I will need to use a smaller font size. Both the contents page and double page spread will need a bolder font for the headlines and pull quotes. This will make them stnad out and will catch the audiences attention. The fonts I use throughout all pages of the magazine will need to be kept consistent making the magzine flow and have a particular theme. This will give the magazine a more professional look and will be easy on the eye.

Production Plan For Photography

Dates	This task will be completed by the end January
Locations	The photo will be taken against a white background so the photograph will be more sophisticated and will make the cover lines stand out. Also, having plain white canvas will make the magazine look more professional. To create this look I will take the all photographs in front of a white wall in my house with bright lighting to make them look professional
People involved	I will only use one model for an artist on the front cover of the magazine to make it simple, yet effective. The shot type I will use will be a long shot so the audience will know what to expect inside the magazine. The model I will use for all photographs is Kate Hinson. The model will wear different clothes and have a different hair style in the contents page as she will be modeling different artists
Equipment needed	Camera, lighting
Props/costumes	The model will wear fashionable clothes to represent the pop and R and B genre. The model will also wear jewellery to appeal to the predominant female audience. The image needs to look pretty and attractive to appeal to the audience. To do this the model will have make up on and have her hair done.

Sample Fonts

Arial - This font is very basic but easy for the reader to read as it is clear and simple. For example, this font could be good to use for the article text inside the magazine as it will be clear to read, so the audience will be more likely to read it.

Impact - This particular font is very bold and strong so will stand out in the magazine. It would be good to use for the title of the magazine cover or for titles inside the magazine as it will catch the readers eye.

Delphi sf - This font is all in capitals so appears to stand out more. It is also very clear so is easily readable. Therefore, it would be good to use for cover lines on the front cover or for pull quotes in the article inside.

Forte - This font is bold so will stand out amongst other text. However, it is not as clear as some other bold fonts. This font could be used for some coverlines to make them satnd out and to attract the female target audience as it is quite feminine.

Juice ITC - This font is quite feminine so would appeal more to this target audience. It is quite clear too, but isn't very bold. This font doesn't really stand out very much and isn't particularly attractive so wouldn't be suitable for the front cover of the magazine.

Tennessee Heavy SF - This font is bold so will be clear and stand out, however it is quite feminine. This would be a good font to use for coverlines as it is quite appealing and would attract the audince. It would be a suitable font as it is clear and stands out but is attractive at the same time.
