Planning: Title For Magazine

Below is a shot of the mind map i created when deciding on a name for the title of my magazine. I based all the words around music. I finally decided on underground as i believe it resembles urban music therefore complimenting the new modern generation of rock music.

Planning: Moodboard

Below is a mood board, showing various pictures from various source's; This enables me to successfully convey what i want to show in my final products. I have grabbed these ideas from the different sources and attempted to bring them into one big collaboration so that they can all be shown in the final product.

Planning: Clothing & Props

I have told Jack to bring a set of skinny jeans as they are commonly used by rock artists, a tie, A short sleeved shirt, 2 different cardigans, dark glasses and plimsoles. When looking at famous celebrities, many of them wear dark glasses in order to cover up their face as they do not want the paparazzi seeing them or the flashes of the camera to blind them. However some celebrities do it, to make themselves 'cool'. Skinny jeans are commonly work by music stars and mostly one of the indie/rock genre therefore i believed it was appropriate to use them. The cardigans will be used to show the celebrities fashion sense, thus showing he cares about his appearance and style and also his variety as he will be wearing two different cardigans for the shoot's. I will be using a Shirt on the model as many stars wear them to make themselves look fashionable and more stylish on certain occasions for their reputation. A tie will enhance the more fashionable look of the model. Plimsoles will be used as they are smart yet casual therefore the star will look confident in his clothing. The scene with which the model will be passed out in the hot tub, i will get him to take his t-shirt off yet keep his jeans and plimsoles off as he will look eccentric, which rockstars are known for doing. I have also told him to bring smart clothing for the night out shoot, as i believe any artist would dress well for such an occasion therefore i have asked him to wear his skinny jeans along with a jumper.

For props i already have an electric guitar and other props such as champagne and cigarettes for the actor, however although the cigarettes appear real they are actually fake therefore not causing harm to the model. The props will only be used in the hot tub scene as i believe that is when they will appear most effective, as most connotations will arise when the reader look's at this picture.
