Shooting/ Selecting Images

 I shot various pictures for my magazine NO.1.

This is the image I used for my front cover, but I cut around the image like this:

 I chose this image for the front cover as it shows her as strong. As she is smiling it gives the impression that she is friendly and open. By her giving off this confident image makes the reader think that she is able to deal with her new found "fame."

Contents Page

For my contents page I chose a picture of my cover star with an electric guitar. This is because it gives a suprise element to my target audience, as they may no longer view her as a stereotypical pop star, who only sings. I cut around the picture and added a felt-tip outline. This is because ut adds a child-like feel to my magazine.

Feature Page

I wanted to show my pop star as a singer so I took a picture of my cover star with a microphone to show that she is serious about her career. I edited this picture by cutting out the background, as it was not fitting to the article. I also addded a white dashed outline as it enforces the  childlike image. It also is fitting with my article as I wanted the picture page of my article to look like a scrapbook or photo album (eg. the picture might have been cut out and stuck in.) 

 I chose to use this picture of my cover star within the article as it shows that she is a big star, almost like a celebrity.

I also chose to put a picture of my cover star within the feature as it shows my target audience as "normal."

I chose this picture of my cover star in her bedroom lying on her bed so that it gives a relaxed feel. It also shows her listening to music enforcing the normality. 

I didn't chose these pictures because....

the ipod is not properly used or shown. Also the picture of my cover star holding the ipod did not portray the relaxed feel I wanted as my cover star is sitting up straight giving off an uncomfortable feel.
