Fran's Cover Photo Before Editing

I am going to crop the picture and change the brightness/contrast to help improve the picture for my magazine. I also going to add balck tights onto the girl on the right so she not only fits in with the rest of the band, but also because i don't like the way you can see her socks. I also going to use the healing brush to smooth their skin.

Lucy's Cover Photo Before Editing




I really like this photo and plan to use it as my front cover photo. I like the way that they are hiddled quite close together, however wills hand comes out at the audience, which i hope would attract people to this magazine. I think that this photo is a little dark therefore i will edit it and make it brighter, which i will also do with the background of this photo. I will also edit their skintone in order to make the photo look professional.

Jordan's Cover Photo Before Editing

With this photograph I intend to crop it down so that we do not have the blue gap on the left hand side of the photo, I am also going to brighten the picture and raise the contrast so that we have deeper colours for things like their clothes, hair, lipstick etc.  I will also use the spot tool to get rid of any marks or blemishes that are on the skin to make it more professional.

Will's Cover Photo Before Editing

I will change the brightness and contrast of my image to help make it stand out on the page. I would also like to use spot tool to help get the best out of this photo. I may change the brightness on my glasses if I have time.

Audience Research Discussion


After carrying out our audience research we had a discussion on what we had found out. We found this very useful as it meant that we could fully decide on what we needed to use and incorporate into our final magazines. We put the camera on a tripod to allow us all to feature in the film and no-one had the responsibility of filming. Fran and Lucy developed the questions and what we would say and then Jordan and Will then edited the footage together.

Fran's Double Page Spread Analysis


I liked this double page spread as it featured a well-known artist, Lily Allen. I really liked the text used in the main quote as i thought that this was really eye-catching. I hope to use a similarly eye-catching font in my final double page spread. I also liked the way that the picture was so big and eye-catching to the reader.

Will's Double Page Spread Analysis

This Double page spread really interested me I want to use techniques found in this double page spread and use them in my final double page. I like the way it is very casual with the image and tag lines being bold and standing out.
