PUBLISHING
When considering methods of publishing my magazine I deeply
consider the genre and how many people from my Questionnaire read it too.
Referring to my results I can conclude that most of my voters read Hip-Hop. It’s
therefore a popular genre and should receive the correct publishing and
distribution.
Looking at a similar Hip-Hop magazine to mine I have carried
out some primary research on the magazine ‘XXL’. XXL release small versions of
articles which are featured in their magazine releases. I think this is a great
method as more people are using the internet to research and conduct
information. XXL doesn’t release an entire article or story as they still want
the consumer to make a purchase for the magazine. I agree with this and plan on
doing exactly the same. Instead, I’d release a copy of the contents page and
front cover on the website so that they can have a small insight of what each
article focuses on.
USE OF PHOTOSHOP
As you can see from the GIF above, there is a very small use of Photoshop needed, especially as i decided to keep the background the same colour. Although I did use Photoshop in order to add more contrast to the light area's of the photo and to crop unnecessary areas of the image . By doing this it allowed more important area's to be highlighted such as on the use of makeup which conforms to the Male Gaze Theory as my model is wanted to be presented as a beautiful young lady, The clothing to show how women can get away with baggy clothing which was popular in Hip-Hop and adds focus on the accessories such as the camo hat and gold jewelry.
CONTACT SHEET
Here is a selection of the images which i have taken. All of these images conform to my magazine genre, this is shown through technical codes such as the use of black and non-exposing clothing. The use of makeup also reminds the audience that female artists can subvert to the male gaze theory by wearing baggy and masculine clothing; But they can also be presented as 'classy' and 'sexy'.
