Research and Planning - Brusheezey
I found a site that is full of free downloadable brushes for photoshop. I've downloaded a brush I really like called "Game of Life and Death" and am currently playing around with it on Photoshop. I chose this brush because it is full of little doodles which people who like the rock genre would usually doodle on their hands or in the backs of their school/college books.

Research and Planning - Contents Page Backgrounds
My contents page is going to be black on one side and red on the other. However I want the red side to have a black rock style pattern in it and below are images of possible red/black pattern backgrounds:

Research and Planning - Rock Magazine Photoshoot
Today I used a Canon SLR camera to take my final rock magazine photos. The images I took were for the cover, double page spread and contents page. I spent over two hours gathering together t-shirts, shirts, accessories and props in preparation for the shoot. I spent 45 minutes dressing my models in the way I wanted them to be dressed and giving them a total rock look with subtle make up and hair styling. I then spent 2 hours at the photoshoot location, with my models, taking photographs of them in various poses (in the freezing cold!). I took over 170 photographs, using different modes and focuses on the SLR camera and have chosen the best/clearest images to put up on blogger and use in/on my rock magazine. I tried to pay as much attention to detail as possible (stray pieces of hair being put back into place, head possitioning, arm possitioning etc) and tried to keep my models within the black/white/red colour scheme of my magazine. I really enjoyed the photoshoot and both my models and myself are incredibly happy with the resulting photographs!!
