Planning Photo Shoot Blog Post #1 - My Idea/Concept/Plot

-
For my photo shoot which I plan on doing, my concept is to go outside my home (front yard maybe) and take stills/professional photos of the outside AS WELL AS having Latin Music CDs stacked up and focused on, since my magazine will be talking about music and artists (specifically, Latino  artists). I could then (in the magazine) talk about how Latino music has impacted here in the US. However, not all of my pictures will be actual photos taken on a camera device. I actually plan on doing digital renderings of actual famous Latino artists (Bad Bunny, Karol G, etc.) and hopefully they turn out good enough for what I aim to accomplish with my magazine. For these types of pictures of the famous artists, since I can’t use a picture simply from the internet, I will trace over a picture of said artist in photoshop and add my own style to it. I think the idea of actually having a cartoon rendering of artists is very interesting and I got my idea from Rolling Stone magazine, the magazine that I researched. They used it on their Donald trump magazine where they didn’t use a picture, but instead a drawing BASED ON a picture from the presidential inauguration.

Magazine Genre Codes and Conventions Research Project (Cover)

 To commence, I chose Rolling Stone magazine, since it was in the same genre as what I plan to make my magazine on (Music Genre). I will be comparing 3 different covers from Rolling Stone today, and will be taking a look at the different aspects of these covers and the codes/conventions that Rolling Stone utilizes to make their magazine truly theirs. My own magazine that I have planned is not that different from Rolling Stone, the only difference being that Rolling Stone not only has artists from a wide variety of genres, but also talks about different topics, like politic, while my magazine will focus exclusively on Hispanic artists and will not venture out into different topics other than music and possibly their lives, so my magazine will resemble the Jack White Rolling Stone Cover (picture above) the most out of the three.  Now, I will discuss basic codes and conventions for Rolling Stone and will be focusing on these 3 magazines. One thing I notice that is consi

Mood Board Reflection/Written Explanation

(Sorry for the glare from the light on the left-hand side) To commence, for my mood board, I incorporated things such as artists from the modern era (A$AP Rocky), as well as some from an older era (Elton John, Stevie Wonder, etc.) and also made sure to have a variety of different instruments in order to grasp the concept and connect the main idea for my mood board: The Fine Arts. Specifically, I focused on music and its many aspects. Personally, I would've included more artists, but I didn't have their pictures. I used flashy colors in order to depict what typically music is. For instance, when one goes to a concert, the stage is lit up with a wide range of colors, and I made sure to do just that on this mood board. Whether it's the pink color scheme on the young child with the red/pinkish guitar, or the pictures of different artists live on a stage, I aimed to make sure what I was trying to do with the colors was clear to the reader, and I intend to improve upon this w
