Construction: The Shoot 1 (Cover Page and Double Spread Page)

The photo shoot for my magazine was an overall good experience. I was able to achieve the desired results as my model Soha was very dedicated so was I. Due to which we were able to complete our shot within a time span of 4 hours including getting the model ready and the breaks included. The weather was good. I did the shoot between the time 1-5 pm. However, we could not shoot between the time span of 1-2 pm as the sunlight is harsh and at the top of our heads so I used this time to get the model ready. In the end I was able to get the desired photographs and was happy with the outcome. My hard work actually paid of in the end. One of the lessons I learned was how planning everything before hand from the clothes to the make up to the hair style makes everything easier and that is the reason I did not had to worry about anything else but the task at hand which was taking photographs.

Construction: The Shoot 2 (Contents Page)

The photo shoot was an overall good experience also. I did some of the shoot in the garden and the rest indoor. I could the shoot indoor between the time span of 1-2 pm as in my shoot for the cover page and double spread page it was an outdoor shoot so I couldn't shoot within this time span. I was organized as I had everything planned before hand.

Planning: Graphics and Typography

The graphics and topography will not be vivid because the pictures will be astounding as I want the model to out stand the typography and graphics. The typography and graphics will be simple and elegant and making sure that the model catches the attention of the audience and that the typography and graphics do not over throw the photographs.

 I am now going to further describe in detail the type typography I am going to be using.

The masthead of my magazine will be bold. I am going to use a Serif font hat's because in my
research on similar magazines I came across some mastheads that used a Serif fonts. I don't want to use any Calligraphic fonts as I don't want the masthead to be merged into the background also during my research I did not came across any mastheads that used Calligraphic fonts which means I have made the right decision to
use a serif font.


The main cover lines and cover lines of my magazine will use the sanserif and calligraphic fonts because from my point of view if keep using the same font throughout it will make magazine look monotonous and really boring.
The same will be for the text on the contents page.



I plan on not using any effects on the text until and unless it requires me to if I face problem when it comes to the readability of the text.

Pugs, puffs and strips are essential in every magazine. I will be using them to
highlight any special offers.

For the main body text of the cover story I will be using a variety of fonts and color schemes which do not contradict the anchoring images I am going to use. The main body text size will be according to the length of cover story content and the rest will be adjusted according to my layout.

Planning: Mis-en-scene

 The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing – actors, lighting, décor, props, costume – is called mise-en-scène.

Hair: 
         The model is going to have loose curly hair, which gives a natural as well as a casual look. The curly hair can be used in different ways. The main reason being they are casual and not that extravagant. The hairstyles will be along the lines of the pictures given below.

Make up: 
                Casual wear is accompanied by a natural make up look. The eye make up will be inspired by the picture given below.

Lights: 

          No extra lights will be used. As the shoot will be done in natural light as my shoot does not require any yellow lights.

              

Planning: Idea for Cover Story

My double spread will be about a teenager celebrity who has gained popularity after working in Pakistani TV shows and have modelled for some of the local brands in Pakistan and has become the fashion icon for teenagers. She is looked up-to by the youth as an inspiration.

The title I have come up with for the cover story is "Famous, Fashion, Figure"

Planning: Budget

I tried to keep the budget as low as possible. Other materials such as make up and shoes were borrowed. The budget list is as follow:
