note to the examiner

Hi,
I hope from reading my blog you begin to release how much Passion i had behind the idea of my magazine. I know that the idea is one that is very simplistic, but it is original. Fitting into the market where I believe, along with my friends there is a gap. Music used to be something of pashion, look at the Beetles, the Who, Sex pistols. Now i find music is just one on a machienery production. It was funny the other day i was listening to the radio on the way to school, I was too tired to put my IPod in, But there was this game in Moyle's show about guess the artist and when you listened yeah, the vocal's were different, the guitars a tad different, but if you were to look simplisticly at it, it all sounded the same. Today new music is being thrown away because of it not appealing to the 'wider' audience mirroring the film industry. I beleive this is wrong, people have different taste, do we do the same with shops? do designer shops all copy each other? compaing TopShop to Newlook yes they are simular. However compare Newlook to Pretty Green, there is such a difference. BECAUSE people are different, and this is my point. each peice of music should inspire people, artist should want to INSPIRE people not get as much money in their back pocket as possible, did the like of Weller, John Lennon carve their names into the back bone of every song becuase they wanted money? or was it becuase they wanted to inspire, wanted to change the world. This is what my magazine does. It changes this new music into inspirational music, something new, something different. Becuase the artist has passion not money in their back pocket.
I really do hope you enjoy my magazine and understand how much passion and how much  I beleive in my magazine and that this is mirrored through the style and the belief in this magazine. Thank you so much for reading, Thank you
from Katie.

Photography

I've been looking at some styles of photography that I think catch interest and I could possibly work with.  The idea that the town is behind him works with my idea of using London. This imagery is effective because of the exposure and the colours. There are only 3 different colours which are present within the image, mainly the darks and the light greys and then his Tee stands out bringing him to the foreground. The use of the wide angle fish eye lens distorts the contents of the image to the centre. Also a slight vignette is used to emphasise the distortion caused by the fish eye lens. The use of this with my model in the foreground would bring more attention to the image and the image would have a create impact if used in a DPS.
