Costume Research

As my genre is country-pop I would like my artist to have young, current clothes so that she is more relatable to the target audience. The clothes must have an air of country about them while still looking fresh sop that the artist will appeal to both the country and pop audience. I would also like to use instruments as props in my photo shoot to make the set look more interesting, the instruments would appeal to the country audience more while the casual, young outfit will appeal to both the country and the pop audience. 

Font Research

I have decided to change the name of my magazine as I feel 'Country-Pop magazine' is too general and quite boring. The new name of my magazine is 'Now Country' I feel this name stands out more when you read it or hear it while still being clear of the genre. 

Magazine Photoshoot

I have done a photo shoot exploring different angles, positioning, lighting and props. I have uploaded the best images onto photo peach so that I could clearly see which pictures stood out the most. This made the selection process a lot quicker as I didn't have to search through all the pictures one by one and I could easily pick out the most effective pictures.
