Costume List and Actor List

Costume List for the Actors in Photo Shoot

• The costumes which were worn were casual and not formal - the photo shoot was intended to be relaxed, as was the article about the artist in the music magazine.

• Black Skinny Jeans for female in photo shoot - the female being the featured artist on the double page spread called "Bonnie".

• Cream Dress for one woman, whilst another woman was wearing a dress which was colourful and patterned.

• There was no dress code for the shoes of the actors given. Therefore any shoes can be worn by the actors in the photo shoot, this once again reinforces the informal and relaxed atmosphere of the article and photo shoot itself.

• The female actress in the photo shoot was also wearing a black jacket, and a white scarf. Whatever was worn on the top-half of the body was the actor's choice. In this case, more winter clothing is worn, because on the day of the photo shoot, the weather was sunny, but cold.

Mock-up Music Magazine Front Cover

Above is my mock-up of my music magazine's front cover. The front cover has been designed so that it is minimalist. I designed it this way, so the featured artist can be pictured clearly, and not be hidden behind titles. The masthead has designed partly with the minimalist look of 'Q' magazine, and the pugs on the left hand side of the magazine have been designed with the minimalist look still in mind.

Music Magazine Double Page Spread Analysis

Ideology

Ideology is a system of values, beliefs, or ideas that reflect on social needs and aspirations which is common to a specific group of people. Each magazine has an image they want the audience that read it to portray, for example 'Elle Magazine':-

 'The Elle reader is spirited, stylish and intelligent; she expects to be successful at everything she does. She takes the lead and breaks the rules'.

The ideology for Kerrang magazine is that their audience should 'break the mould' and are seen as unique individuals. Sometimes this can influence the audience to be proud of a certain ideology or play off it like the Kerrang reader 'breaks the mould' then this can reflect on a person being rebellious and defiant and the audience wanting to strive to be like this. Ideology can change society or adherence to ideas of conformity.

The ideology of another music magazine - Rave - is that they want to promote parties - which is evident from their front cover of Fergie jumping out of a cake - and events which are going on in the music industry. This is related to name of the magazine being 'Rave'. The image of Fergie jumping out a cake, promotes the idea of wild parties or 'raves'.
