Final Front cover

Photographs to be used within my Magazine

The images below are a selection of the ones I have decided to use within my magazine. I have chose these images to appear in my magazine because I believe these are the ones most relevant to my chosen genre and ones in which fit best to my plans as seen on the post previoussly. They will also be used to engage the audience and capture their interest.

Front cover

I have chosen this image as my main image on my front cover because I think it has that sense of edginess and depth about it which I was looking for. I have scene throughout my research process on rock magazines this type of image is common to to use on front covers. Although the image itself admitably isn't of such a high standard in terms of quality, but I think the image could really work once slight editing has taken place been and the image fitting into my format and [plans.

DPS

 

I have chosen to feature this image on my DPS because it indicates the stereotypical audience in which reads this particular type of genre of magazine. I also believe it will connect to the audience more or increase attention if fans and readers where featured within the magazine itself putting their own stamp and comments on gigs and reviews of topics.

One of Free giant live posters

I decided to use this image of Sean Smith as a poster basically because it's quite a up close and personal image I successfully took and I think it would be a huge selling point for my magazine to incorporate within.

Once again I decided to use this image as a audience selling point of a poster because it's another realistic image of a live shot which i took. I think due to the images I have decided to use as posters being live images will increase hopefully the selling point of my magazine because the audience will feel more connected especially if they attended.
DPS

I decided to use live images within my DPS simply because i have written a gig review so it just seemed convenient to do so. I think by using live images will engage the audience more and draw their attention. Also the colours of the images due to the lights and cameras within the academy deliver a emotion of the energy adrenaline and happiness within the room which will reflect onto the DPS.

I like the way this image is of a wider shot which ables us as the audience to capture the atmosphere of the whole stage with a clear view of the band on stage.

Once again as the image of Sean Smith showed a close up this image does to. I like the medium close up shots as they enhance personality.

Photography planning

In order to make my magazine look like the stereotypical Rock magazine I will attempt to use a mixture of live images and posed images. The live images with ironically link to the target audience of the magazine to whom we see to be energectic and outgoing. The use of Posed images will add a sense of depth and edgyness to the magazine which could also be linked in relation to the target audience.

WHEYBRIDGE BOYS SLAMM THE COUNTRY

From playing to the clubs and pubs of Wheybridge the lads of You Me At Six storm the distance of the country performing their second round of their album Hold Me Down  to thousands of adoring fans. The city of Manchester was about to whitness You Me At Six's best performance yet. Josh Franceschi the bands lead singer say's ' The boys and I were oblivious to the amount of suppourt our band has and was blown away by the fact we have solt out our tour dates within a matter of hours even resulting to adding extra dates, so thankyou!’

Things may be cold for those fans awaiting to get it but things were more than defantly were about to  heat up in the Apollo. The Apollo was filled with a young and energetic vibe which swept back stage to the bands awaiting there moment. Lead singer Sean Smith of The Blackout added ‘ the vibe and excitment which filled the room was nothing like ever before the crowd were so full of excitment and positivity it was more of a honour to play than a pleasure’.

The support acts Canterbury, Amercian band Set Your Goals and of course The Blackout stormed the stage with The Blackout delivering a epic performancer and set, they had the whole audience engaged with their music and Lead Singer Sean even got the crowd joining in a cover of Willow Smith’s ‘Whip My Hair’

After moments of jamming to Tibbet’s Dj set (Close friend of You Me At Six’s) the bands drummer Dan Flint emerges in shadow showing off his new Platinum blonde hair, almost with out a second to loose the beat kicks in a lead singer Josh bursts out the debute single ‘Save it for the Bedroom’ the adrenaline runs through the set untill the last song ‘Underdog’. The music and atmosphere was incrediable and the vibes which were circling the room was amazing
What did you think?

Max Helyer YMAS'S gutarist:

This tour has been the most incrediable one yet I feel so privledged to be apart of something as amazing. The fans have been amazing and we wouldn't be were we are without them. To sell out the whole tour and to have to result in adding extra dates is mind blowing!

Stef Capeling York:

Iv seen YMAS a few times, each time they just get better and better. This tour has been the best yet and im soooo excited for the new album in summer.

Amy Trimble Manchester:
