It is important to get the signed permission of my models' because I now have the authority to take as many pictures as I need of them as well as the fact that they are my own photographs.

Production Diary 9 - Finishing touches, Photoshoot, Subscription.

This week has been very busy, as the deadline for finishing our draft magazines is December 19^th. This week I have continued to work through my magazine, making little touches here and there. I have finished all the text for the contents page and the front cover – all I need now is the photos. I am also in the process of transferring the content of my article over to the final article, and I decided that as I am most likely going to go over the limited space that I gave myself, but do not wish to remove any of the words, I have created another page of my article. It now consists of 5 pages – 2 double page spreads and one single page. Creating another single page has proven to be quite helpful, as it means I can incorporate more pull quotes, images, and my box out text, which is going to be the details for the 2014 Tour of my band.

Recently I held my photoshoot, which I think was a success. Though we had a late start, we finished earlier than I expected, and got a good variety of shots. I will put up a contact sheet later. The models were good and patient and did what I asked of them, and their change of outfits, combined with the contrasting colours of the background gave me the spooky atmospheric effect that I desired.

Having now done my photoshoot, it has allowed me to do many more things with my magazine; I can now complete some of the tasks that I have been prevented from doing previously due to having no photos.

Next I plan to sift through the photoshoot, picking out the best photos that I think would be appropriate for my magazine and edit them to what I had pictured in my head. I have already created three ‘subscriber’ magazines, each with a different member’s face on them; so that the subscribers can pick and choose their favourite or even make a collection. I got this idea from the One Direction issues of Q magazine – though there was controversy about it, I think it is a good idea as then the fans will be able to pick their favourite themselves, and it will also convince other readers to become a subscriber and thus boost the magazine’s reputation, sales, readership and circulation.
