DPS Photographs and plan

Photoshoot plan for dps

These are the series of photographs i took for my DPS. I am going to include a maximum of four images for my final DPS. I am more likely to pick the photographs where my model is looking straight into the camera as it creates a more intense mood. It also makes it more direct as she is looking straight at the reader and this mood works well with the style of my magazine. NME ( the music magazine i got a lot of influences from ) also does this.


The eighth image down is the image i used for my front cover ( i put it in black and white in photoshop ). I used these images for the contents, front cover and DPS.

Front Cover : Drafts

First Draft:

The first draft of my magazine i was going for the really conventional music magazing look, following the format of NME and Kerrang. I did this by using bright colours as my colour schemes, lots of coverlines and buttons.

Second Draft:

If i wanted my magazine to look professional i needed to change my magazine cover. As my portrat image was black and white i decided to just use one coverline and use white font for it ( Palace Script MT ). The font reminded me of a signature and i thought it could make it look more personal. I took away the button and the coverlines and the poster picture to try and go for a more minimlistic approach.

Third Draft:

I started to get more inspiration from magazines such as I-D, Dazed and confused and The gentlewomen. To follow this convetion i only used ; her name in Palace Script Mt, barcode and the masthead. Even though my model isn't looking towards the camera ( a common convention even with magazines who don't conform to the common conventions ) the bright red masthead makes it an even balance so it will still catch the readers eye.
