Masthead

1.

What connotations do the subjects outfits portray?

• The portrait outfits portray a stereotypical pop star of that genre, she looks like a typical girly girl. In the first one, it connotes that she is just a normal person in normal clothes.
• I think her clothes have a modern feel with the essence of a popstar.  
• Very popstar like, but also I can say it can clash with indie style because of the makeup and the poses.
• I think they portray connotations of the pop genre, due to the flowery, loud coloured pattern of the lower two images, but the top image suggests normality over fame.

What do you feel about the cold colour scheme? (Mainly blues and greens).

• I think that the colour scheme works really well as the colours are more stereotypically those of a pop genre.
• If the greens are pastel shades I would think that they would look good but any harsh bold greens may clash with the pastel pinks on the models clothes. 
• The colours look peaceful and bright. Almost like bright vibes and good feeling.
• The cold colours in the background work to draw attention to the model and give across a sophisticated impression of the magazine.

How do the compositions of the photographs effect the overall look of the picture?

• In the first portrait picture, she looks like she has been ‘born’ to perform whereas in the second one it looks really sassy. In the first one, she looks quieter maybe before performance maybe.
• I like the models poses because it adds nice attitude to the photos and I think the high contrast works really well.
• The model looks free and very herself. This is good as it shows her real character and she isn’t afraid to show her real side.
• I like the compositions of the bottom two especially as she looks like a natural performer, not afraid to let her fun side show. The top one works well as well, as she seems very sophisticated once again.

How well do you think the masthead design goes with the look of the magazine?

• It goes really well as it has the ‘pop’ genre colours and the colour scheme fits in with the models clothes.
• I feel that the green may clash but I like the fact that its bold but still quite feminine to add to the model.
• I think bold masthead will be good for these images. Bold and colourful but not too colour because you don’t want it to clash so much with the images. The masthead should stand out so even if its black I think it will work good too. 
• I like the colour scheme of it and the design gives a very modern look to the magazine, which suits your images. 

From my audience feedback, from my photoshoot and final images I am going to use in my magazine, my audience have managed to depict the genre of the magazine based only on the images and the attire of my artist. Along with the obvious genre of my magazine based on the clothing of the model, the audience were also took a liking to my house style and colour scheme which I had based from my audience profile and questionnaire earlier on. Along with the attire of my artist, my audience have picked up on the poses and compositions of the artist and what is meant to be portrayed from these images to help the magazine stand out and express the personality of the artist. Finishing with the colour scheme and masthead design and colours, the audience have taken a liking to the colours and typeface of the masthead and feel that this will help enhance the overall look of the magazine once added to the images of my artist.
