Course work: Thought Bubble
After the meeting we arranged another on today to sort out times which suit everyone and then I create a schedule.
Now my research and planning is done I need to make sure that the next few weeks I have full dedication and organized so then it's successful. I want to do well so I need to meet deadlines and follow the time management.
I've concluded that my magazine will be a Halloween special, following the indie/pop/rock genre.
My Front cover will include Aishah as a skull candy wearing a white black. Also surrounded in only just text to have a professional look and also follows the trend of the other music magazine from my research.
Contents will include Khalid inspired by lady Gaga skull makeup, surrounded in text which is simple like the ones in my research.
Double Page Spread will include models Paige, Emma, Alice as a girl band, wearing dresses and holding Halloween props . The text will consist of an interview and their top 13 Halloween songs.

Costume and Front Cover
Referring back to the focus group findings they recommended that the Front cover image should be a long shot including the dress to attract the audiences eye.
Looking at the research front covers I wanted to take the approach of how Lana Del Rey is represented :
I like the contrast of the innocent princess, fairy tale and rebellious, dangerous etc. which would be portraying the different genres (Pop and Indie) in the magazine. So for the models outfit on the front cover I was thinking a white with hints of black to express the contrast and give an edgy feel.
So I researched into singers, skull and white/black dresses and found the following images to inspire the outfit for my front cover:
I want a flowly short white dress with black lace to show the contrast and express the message . I was thinking like the image above of Katy Perry.
And is asked For Feed back Via Facebook :

Planning Indie/ Rock Band
For my double page spread it was a toss up between 'Top 13 Halloween songs' or an music artist interview but I deicded to go with the interview of a Indie/Rock girl band.
I did some research on rock/indie bands to see how their represented and what they wear for inspiration for my double page spread.

Looking at the images you learn it ver posey and how they feel and their music is expressed through there clothes and expression . I will have to keep this in mind when creating an image for my girl band.
Course Work: Thought Bubble
Thinking about the questionnaire I need more qualitative data and feedback on my sketches and ideas for the magazine. I feel that a focus group (discussion) is the best way as you can bounce ideas of each other and get a full understanding of what the people think. I was thinking of asking my friends as I know they are reliable and would give honest feedback.
