Photography Planning

Photography planning

I take a wide variation of photos for my artists. I think with my main artists "Zachary Thorne" I will find a plain background and make all of the focus on him. I will experiment with having a woodland/ urban background, and see what affects I can use on the background such as increase the apeture and changing shutter speed.

Examples:

I will adjust the photo's filters so that the foreground is very crisp and focused, but the background is faded. I will keep the shutter speed a fast speed, so that the image doesn't blur.

Fonts:

My favourite typeface is Tunga because it is easy to read, and not too serious, which is good for the style of my magazine. When people see a font they immediately thing of different things associated to that font, so I don't want to use a font that is overly office- like, and use one more "bouncy". My font will be around a size 12 for the main feature article text, the coverlines will be a size 14, and the masthead will be above a size 30.

Colour Scheme:

To choose my colour scheme I made a visual aid to help make my choice, and then asked my target audience which ones their favourites were, and then I made an outline of a cover page that represents the chosen colour together and how they work on the page.

The colours I have chosen are very bright and possibly even garish, but they stand out extremely well, so hopefully it will draw more attention to the magazine

I think I will replace yellow with green, as it suits my photography more, and is less painful to look at

Masthead Typeface

1. Aharoni
Very easy to read, has bold elements, and stands out. It has san serrifs, which makes it look like quite a masculine typeface, and isn't very appealing on the eyes.

2. Copperplate Gothic Bold
Good spacing between each letter, has serrifs, and is good to look at

3. LilyUPC
This typeface is a bit bland, and would be better used as a coverline font, but not the masthead

4. Kunstler Script
Looks like handwriting, but is barely visible and not viable as a mast head typeface

5. Magneto
Very appealing to look at, and is quite easy to read. It stands out very well, and looks good as a masthead

6. Old English Text MT
Looks different and could be a masthead font, but it is not an appealing text to read

7. Poplar Std
Very bold and stand out, but it is a bit bland and doesn't appeal to me

8. Rosewood Std Regular
Very eye catching and looks good as a masthead, but equally looks a bit tacky and not very professional

9. Showcard Gothic
Very bold and stands out, but it might be a bit too cartoon-like for a magazine

10. Wide Latin
Bold and big, but not appealing at all. Looks to simple

11. Traditional Arabic
Far too plain and doesn't stand out at all

12. Stencil Std
Very bold, easy to read and looks good. It also suits the idea of "infamous", so I think I will choose this one
