Music Magazine mood board


Here is my Music magazine mood board. I have taken pieces i like from various music magazines such as Q, Vibe and NME. I have chosen elements that i think look good and stand out to the reader. I like the way that Vibe magazine set out their contents page title, and I think it is something that I will take into consideration when i make my contents page. I have also chosen various artists for the fact I like the way that they have been positioned on the cover page, such as Lady Gaga's pose and the fact that Kanye West is in black and white to fit in with the colour scheme of the contents page. I have also chosen the part of the contents page from Vibe magazine in the top right hand corner. I have chosen this because I like the font that it has been typed in. In the bottom right hand corner i have chosen a title from Q magazine. I like the colours such as the white and red with the Adele title. I also like the lighting in the image of Kelly Rowland. 


Photo shoot test shots:

Here are some test shots that I have done for the article in my magazine and the cover page. I'm not sue whether or not I will include some of these images in my music magazine. 
    I think that this shot works well, I like the effect that it has with her hair flying back on it. 

I also like this shot however not for the front cover of my magazine. I think it would look good on the double page spread article that will be included. 

I like this shot however I don't think it works as well as the other shot. I think this is because of her positioning and the pose that she is in. 
I don't think this shot would work in my magazine. I don't really like the pose she is in as it looks very plain.
