My First Ideas for my College Magazine.

First of all, i decided on the type of magazine that i was going to produce for this task.


i decided on doing a photography magazine, as i am studying Photography and buy photography magazines, so i thought this would help me a lot.


After i decided on what magazine i was going to do, i thought my title masthead, could be something to do with photography, so i made a list of words used in photography and words used by people taking photos or talking about it.

- Close up.

- Positive (as in positive and negative films).

- Snap ( as in the sound that is made by taking a photo, and people also say "snap" meaning take a photo).

- Life like.

- Visual.

- Capture.

- Exposure.

After thinking all of them through, i narrowed the list down to visual, capture, exposure and lifelike. But then i Thought "exposure" , even though it is one of the most important things in photography, sounds to much like a "gossip mag". so i decided not to use that. "visual" didn't have the right sound to it, and "life life" sounded like a nature magazine. So i decided on"Capture".

After deciding on the mast head, i started planning the layout of the front cover.

Most Photography Magazines have a photo of a landscape or A Portrait.
I decided on having a Portrait on my front cover, but of someone holding a camera and looking through the eyepiece, looking straight at you, as if he/she was taking a photo of you. I then started putting the issues going to be talked about in this issue. I decided on having the background plain white, which could mean it has been taken professional and in a studio.
