Front Cover Photo Shoot

The front cover of my magazine will be advertising a "new" girl duet group called 'Dynamic Duo.' As the magazine is targeted at such a young age group, I want my front cover to look somewhat inspirational. Young people often look up to celebrities and idolise their fortune such as their houses, clothes and cars. I wanted to created this image on my front cover so have decided that I want a 'posh' car featured on the front with the duet group leaning on it. To do this, today I took photographs of my friend Ana who in return, took photos of me. We posed as if we were leaning on something so that I can cut around the images and place it next to a photograph of a car that I took at the 'British Motor Show' (which featured cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghini). I would then edit these photos by adding shadows to make it seem more realistic that we are really leaning on the car. As it was hard to position ourselves in a 'leaning pose,' we also had some alternate close-up photos taken together by one of my group member's (Aakash) so if the original idea does not work out as well as I would like it to, I will have a back-up plan.

Introduction

i am working in a group of 4 including me, we decided to call the magazine 'Hooked'. The magazine mainly will be about pop music and most of the artistes in it. Our target age group is 11-16 year old boys and girls. it is a weekly magazine instead of a monthly so it will be cheaper. The price is 80p for the first issue but after that it would cost £1.20 to get the people 'hooked' in. We also have a website www.hookedonpop.co.uk. The reason we have a website is so that the readers can get online and interact with the magazine such as, vote for certain songs, blogs, chat rooms and information on what's to come.

Got a picture of the band 'Gym class heroes'. Mainly, the reason for the picture was to attract some of our audience so they recognise it due to our magazine being new. I also said that you get a poster inside, the ones which are already attached  to the magazine.      

Intro to Hooked

Me and my group have come up with the name 'Hooked' for our Pop magazine. It is targeted at a young age group of 11-16 year old both boys and girls. It is a weekly magazine that costs £1.20 however, the introductory price will be 80p. Along with the low price, we will include a weekly free CD with a mixture of 10 top Pop tunes of the week voted by the viewers of our online website (www.hookedonpop.com). Each feature of the magazine will include an interview with new or famous pop stars who will usually be on the front cover.
