This is my model, Chloe Blagg. She is my sister and I think she is ideal to use as the main artist of my magazine. This is because: 

- She has a natural face meaning you can d o a lot of things with make up and effects

- She has long blonde hair which is wavy, this looks natural and I can work with it in different ways

- She represents the "Pop" genre well

- She has no piercings or tattoos (this is something you would expect to see on a Rock magazine

- And she is tall and stands out

As well as touching up a few of my techniques which I have learned over these past few months, the magazine cover I have made below has made me realize that I want to change the name of my magazine. I don't think "M-You-Sic" although sounds and looks good, I don't think that it really gives the genre away. I like the name I come up with previously which was "Clarity". This is because I think it is striking and looks and sounds different.

Below I have typed up different fonts I am looking to use on my magazine cover and throughout my magazine for titles, subheadings etc...

Before I now to start to produce my first draft of my front cover, double page spread and contents I have decided to my practiced techniques to use. Here I have made a random magazine cover where I have tried my best to use all of the codes and conventions I have studied.

This has really helped me gain that last bit of practice I need before I make my official magazine:

I think though, that when I come to make my own, it will look a lot more "chic" and "elegant". I think I will tone down the colours just a little and make them coordinate. I am pleased with this overall though.I particularly like the font and the title "Clarity". I'm thinking about changing my magazine name to this because I think it is striking and the meaning of the word is in fact appropriate to a Pop Music Magazine. 

Support Artist last minute work...

These are some more photo's of my support artist, Saskia. These were shot in an alley way. I think these shots look preppy and pretty. The red lipstick is very distinctive and stands out. The snap-back looks cool and casual. I am pleased with these shots and I might use them on a collage on my front cover and contents. I am pleased with these photo's.

                               

                               

My Main Artist finalisations...

Finalisations...

Here are the two final photos that I have taken myself of Saskia, my support artist. These are the two photos I will use in my final magazine. I am happy with them because I think they look professional. 

I dressed Saskia up to look very glamorous. I made sure all of her body was covered up also so nothing was revealed (the jacket coming off her shoulder adds effect) 

Her make up is subtle but stands out and I've curled her hair too so she looks natural - this is important because I did a lot of analysis of how a normal Pop star is represented. I know that I have took that research on board when shooting Saskia.

I think the location was a great place to shoot as well because it's modern (and pink) I think this will attract the audience and give the magazine a sense of realism. 

I'm glad I have this sorted because now I can focus on my main artist as this is the most important and vital for my magazine.
