First draft magazine

merchandise

 I did a photoshoot of these two models, male and female, to show diverse representations. The pictures taken were in front of a black background to make the clothes stand out. 

On illustrator I merged the pulse illustration used in the masthead of my magazine with the mind logo to create the merchandise.

I then displaced the logo onto the models using photoshop. I followed this tutorial in order to make the logo look like the models were wearing the merch rather than it looking like it had been added post-production

making my 30 second video

For my 30 second video that will be featured on my magazine website, I have decided to do a charity link with mind. The plan for the video is to show how music can help people struggling with their mental health, but ultimately, how charities like mind can help people struggling. I decided to feature the model also used in my merch to create a direct link. I will also make this merch as a link to mind charity which can be donated to the charity. This creates value transference to the pulse brand and targets my audience.

 

editing photos

 For my website, I chose to take pics of my model on the floor in different poses that I could edit together with a filter over the top of them. This was inspired by The Native Mag's website which I looked into when researching competitors independent music magazine website.

This is my first draft of editing the pics together, therefore not perfecr, however I thought the colourful effect added interest that would be seen immediately when people open the website.

I have decided to use the pink filter as it links most with the barbie intertextuality.

magazine 2

For my second magazine I chose to make the genre of music R&B. When researching possible locations, I found the diversity studio had a staircase with a graffiti mural of black celebrities. I thought this was a good intertextual reference, as there were lots of black musicians, my model could have been inspired by. I also thought this created an interesting framing for my photos, particularly the inside page. I also chose to take photos in other locations outside that could be used for the front cover of the magazine. 

magazine 1

Fashion inspo:

When looking into the clothes I should have my model in for this front cover, I researched into 2000s fashion so it was cohesive with the intertextual reference. As I was trying to reference barbie, I knew i wanted my model to be in pink, however this research showed me the types of clothing popular in Y2K fashion. Most celebrities, wore low rise mini skirts or jeans, with a longer tight fitted top. This style has come back into fashion in recent years, therefore, I thought it would work perfectly as it ensures the magazine seems up to date (current).

Photos:

For the location of the photoshoot, I chose to use a woods, as the green leaves made the magazine seem fresh and complimented the models eyes. The poses chosen, were trying to imitate a barbie doll, therefore, lots of them has one bent arm alike a barbie doll to further reinforce the intertextual reference.
