Photo Shoot

Costume Planning

From looking at the types of clothing and fashion that hip hop artists wear I've been able to find out what sort of clothes I will need my models to wear, for example joggers, hoodies, hats etc. To acquire these types of clothing I will use some of my own and also look around in charity shops for cheap items of clothing.

Typography Research

To produce more a more vibrant and bold piece of text I experiment will different colours and different types of drop caps. I think that a contrast of colours will produce the most interesting style of text. Drop caps will add emphasis to the piece of text and will make it look more interesting and attractive. I think the font style will also be very important as it will help the magazine to appeal to the target audience, so I will need to choose a font that is informal but also easy to read.

Planning the Layout

By creating a mock up layout of my magazine I now have a clear picture in my head of how I want my magazine to look and where I want thing to be in my magazine and how I want them to be presented.
