Photos that I am not using for Aaron

This was my first draft image of Aaron. After having another photo shot I didn't like this image because it looked like a mug shot of Aaron going to prison.

 This was an image from my second photo shot. I haven't used this image because Aaron's hair is blowing from the wind.

I haven't used this image because Aaron wasn't ready for the photo.

I haven't used this photo of Aaron because mainly Aaron's smile looks fake. Another reason why I haven't used this image is because of the shadow that he made on the background.

Photos for Andrew & Tom that I am not using

 I didn't use this photo of tom because it looked to plain and there was to much of the background in the picture. I took this picture because I was thinking of doing an individual image for both Andrew and Tom and having just a close up of their face.

 I liked this photo and the location but I didn't like the grass or Tom not looking at the camera. I would have chosen this image if the grass was a hard surface instead and if tom was looking at the camera.

This image wasn't chosen because of the same reason for Toms individual photo. But also they are a duo so it would be better if the image was of them together.

I really liked this image of Tom and Andrew. However, the reason why I didn't chose this image was because I didn't like that they were both looking away from the camera and the angle of the image.

Props

The only prop that I used was a scarf for Andrew.

Front cover third draft and what improvements I have made

This is my third draft of the magazine front cover. The improvements that I have made from the second draft to the third draft are:

• Extended the masthead so it looks better and stands out more
• Changed the main feature banner which was lower.
• Changed the headings so it looks more professional

Contents page third draft and what improvements I have made

This is my third draft for my contents page of my magazine. There are only a few improvements which I have made from the second to third draft.These are:

• Taking away the arrow on the right hand side of the contents page
• Deleting the arrow then meant that the features could come more across and be extended.

Double paged spread third draft and what improvements I have made

This is the third draft of my double paged spread. The improvements that I have made from the second to third draft are:

• Adding a main heading which covered both sides of the double paged spread
• Adding a gradient to the shape.
• Adding the shape to the left hand side of the double paged spread
• Taking away the names of the duo as it looked un-professional and un-like an indie magazine.
