Production Log

Today I starting making my front cover at first I wasn't sure how to use Photoshop as this was the first time making a music magazine, I with a making a cover based on a Rap magazine already made. The cover did not come out how I wanted as I copy&pasted the text from cooltext, I asked my teacher what grade the cover would get and he responded saying that the work I was doing would get given a E so I started the cover again. I learnt from my mistakes and watched a video on youtube showing me how to use Photoshop which I later downloaded at home; this Photoshop is the latest version. The video showed me how to make the pages and I started again, this time I hope I can make my front cover will be at a grade C work.

For every deadline there is a date so that I am able to keep on top of things.I have given myself 4 hours to complete the magazine. After that I have given myself time to go over what I've done , I will go over it at home and install Photoshop on my home computer.

Starting to Come Together

Over the next coming weeks I will have a chance to take pictures as I need to get my props/costume ready. First I will look at different magazines in my genre to get an idea of what people wear and what props are used. I asked my models to bring in the following.

1 Nike bomber Jacket 

A Bag of Money

1 Snapback


1 Beats Headphones

Costume/Props Planning

These are 2 videos that have inspired the look and dress of my artists because of the origins of the rappers/artist.Videos have shown me that Snap Backs , Jumpers and Air focuses are all popular for London based artist to wear in a music video and that the talk or use of drugs is very popular as you watch the video they both talk about the struggle to make money on the streets of London is hard so they show off what they have such as gold chains. Overall I feel that I should use two male artist as the rap game has more recognized male artists then female with snap backs on , a gold chain and air focuses. This is what I imagine my artist to wear on my magazine.
