This document outlines the planning tasks for a magazine photo shoot and design. Locations chosen for photos included a field in Medmenham for the front cover shots, a garden for an image of a ukulele, and various areas in Los Angeles. Costumes for the two models were described as plain with bright colors and embellishments to represent an indie style. A timeline was provided listing tasks from February to March 2011, which involved photo shoots, designing pages, and editing images. An example contents page was outlined showing possible page layout and elements.

1. Planning Tasks

4. Location for Front Cover: The front cover image was taken at the river in Medmenham. Here – there is a small field that is open to the public and often has pedestrians, dog walkers, and other people going through it. I chose a time when it would be relatively empty and would be perfect for the photo shoot. Therefore, I took my photos at sunset on a weekday evening. This location was appropriate as it is with the environment and is very natural, which coincides with a lot of Indie beliefs. Location for Contents Page: Images used for the contents page were of two different locations. The image of the Ukulele was taken in a garden where I could find a plant that would make the Ukulele look natural and would bring a natural effect to it. The other image is of Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California. I took these generic looking images when I was out there with the media magazine in mind. This location was good as it was exotic and a little different. I took the pictures at midday sort of time, to get the beach at its brightest and sunniest. Location for Double Page Spread: All the images for the Double Page Spread were taken in Los Angeles. The pictures I chose and the locations are very good – each very different areas. One image was taken on Venice Beach, another in the Hollywood hills, and the final image taken from a view from Universal Studios in Universal City. These locations give the audience a wider look at what they would receive from the holiday and real images of how LA looks.

5. Props and costumes for Photo shoot. The costuming for this photo shoot has quite plain clothing, but with bright colours incorporated and embellishments (i.e. The long socks). The stripes, along with bright colours and denim is very Indie and represents simplicity as well as a different look from normal fashions. The two outfits together make the girls look individual and relaxed.

13. 1st Image – Main image for Front Cover, Two girls in a field. I considered taking slanted shots, but decided against the idea, as I wanted the readers to be able to solely focus on the two people in the shot, rather than the effects added to the photo and how the shot was taken. 2nd Image – The contents page Ukulele advertisement. I considered many different shot angles for this, but then decided on it being slightly slanted to the left, (centre image flipped). I wanted it to be slightly slanted as it looked too serious and looked less slick and professional.
