Dear Moderator

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog. I have made a music magazine for my coursework which I am very proud of. I spent a lot of time and effort on my work which I hope is reflected in the finished product.

My research and planning starts from the 8th September
My evaluation begins on the 24th February
My finished music magazine will appear directly under this text.

I hope you enjoy looking at my finished product.

Research and Planning: My Photoshoot images














Research and Planning: My location


I travelled to Manchester city center recently and found this place in the area around Afflecks Palace which I think would be perfect for my magazine photoshoot. I think that it looks quite urban and edgy which in my opinion, will compliment my model very well.

Research and Planning: Make Up Test

This was my first idea for a make up design for my main model. I wanted her to have an innocent look about her but I wanted to dress her in a rock style with leather and jeans. However the first attempt to do this look on my model failed as it did not match her hair colour. I then decided that I wanted to make her make up a darker colour so I decided on a look more like this.



I will do this for my model but in more of a bright blue colour. We based her outfit around her blue make up and she ended up carrying on the blue theme. In the end her make up looked more like this.

Research and Planning: My main model

In the beginning I was going to use my friend Lolly as my main model but due to other commitments she had she was not available to do this for me. Instead I asked my close friend Sarah who was happy to help me. She also has the right look to be one of my models and she is very willing to help in any way she can.

Research and Planning: Magazine update

Research and Planning: My Models

 This is my friend Lolly, I will definitely be using her as one of my magazine models as her sense of style and how she poses herself will represent the rock scene. She has an air of rock attitude around her and I believe she would be perfect for my magazine
 This is Alfie, I would like him to pose for my magazine as he is a drummer and would be able to offer an authenticity to my magazine to help it along. He may require some persuading but I hope that I get him to help me in my photo shoot.
My friend Sarah has offered to help me with my music magazine which I am very pleased about as she also fits with my rock theme. If she wears appropriate clothing and dark make up she will look perfect for my magazine.

Research and Planning: Music inspirations

As my music magazine is rock with a bit of a punk-pop vibe I want to make sure that the music I represent in it is similar to that represented by similar magazines. Kerrang! also represents rock artists and rock music. As this is my favourite kind of music I will feel most comfortable making a magazine to represent this genre.
