Unused photos
Why weren't these photos used?
From the shoots that I did, these are my unused photos, they haven't been used as they may be blurry e.g. top right of the first page, out of focus- middle and bottom right on the first page.
The pictures may have been used if the model has been in funny positions e.g. the 3 down the side of the first sheet and 3 across the middle of the second.
Another reason the photos may have not been used is if the model is not using mode of address (looking into the camera as it means that they don't attract the audience in the same way.) e.g. top middle of second sheet
The final reason a photo may not have been used is if it was taken from a funny angle e.g. the bottom 3 of the second sheet.

Audience feedback- double page spread article
Having asked some of my audience what they had thought on my article and how I could improve it, many of the audiences feedback suggested that the article was too short especially to fill a double page spread and that I needed a more original way to connect the audience to the magazine.
How I used the audience feedback to fix this problem
I added a side article that reached out to members of the singers pre-existing fan base using twitter, suggesting that if they asked a question, Elle would answer it and it may possibly feature in the first edition of 'motion' magazine.
Here is the side article:
We have asked our motion readers
to send in questions they would lilke
to ask you
@leahhann asked:
‘Where was your favourite place to perform and
why?
Anya: I REALLY enjoyed the Royal Albert Hall as the
audience were really envolved and we bounced
enjoy off each other- it was a lot of fun’
@ilovemotion asked:
‘Will you come to Liverpool- p.s. I LOVE YOUR
MUSIC’
Anya: thank you! and yes we are looking to add
more dates and places for my tour in june
@astarkk1 asked:
Will you be releasing another album?
Anya: Yes! I am currently spending my life in the
studio, all in preparation for my new album.
@josh_fline asked:
‘Who would you like to collab with?’
Anya: Beyonce of course!

My article
Elle Stark wass just you average 20 year-old
who had big hopes and ambitions of making
it big in in the RnB industry. Fast forward a
few years and she has gone from a sophisticated
secretary to pop princess already completeing
a UK national tour and releasing an album we
beleive that she has the potential our next new
Rhianna. Oozing with qwerk and sex appeal, we
beleive that this 22 year-old could be HUGE.

Hi Anya, thank you for coming to
speak to us
No probem, I am happy to be here.
We constantly have your album
on repeat, who was your inspiration?
I love Rhianna and the type of edgy music
she makes -she was definetly my main inspiration
for this album. I also enjoy listening to some 90’s
classics such as Nelly and really tried to gain the
original RnB roots in my music.
Congrats on completing your
‘whirlwind’ tour, how was it?
Thank you so much, I am so releieved and
sad in a away, I’m sad it’s over but so
glad because especially towards the end it
became so exhausting.
You’ve had a pretty crazy journey,
you became an over night sucess,
how are you coping with your new
found fame?
I like to refer to it as my ‘whirlwind journey’
I don’t know how i have coped, I just try
to appreciate every moment of it while it
lasts
‘I just try to enjoy
every moment of it
while it lasts’
After the year you’ve have had,
what are your plans next?
Festivals- I would love to participate in
Glastonbury, that would be like a dream for
me, I just love the atmosphere and the vibe.
I would also like to take my album
internationally
Internationally?
Yes, I’ve booked some studio time in LA
with some major producers, I can’t give too
much away at the moment

Inspiration board
I have created an inspiration board from some of my favourite covers from either Billboard or Vibe magazine, I have specifically chosen these 2 as I feel these are the 2 most famous that appeal to my target audience, using qualities such as a clean colour scheme (using a max of 4 colours.) Another thing I noticed is that in all these covers the artist id looking directly into the camera creating a mode of address, I would like to include both of these qualities in my final piece.

Colour scheme idea + why the black and white
Why the black and white?
The first is that it is different, I really wanted my magazine to stand out compared to other magazines and having asked my target audience, felt this was an appropriate and cool way to make my magazine unique as it creates an air of mystery as features such as eye and hair colour aren't aa main feature it shows their lack of importance and leaves something to the imagination.
Another reason why I chose to use a monochrome colour scheme is because I feel it really creates a distinct genre association as you can often connote RnB to black and white typical old jazz bands therefore having this black and white element means that people can make the instant association between new and old RnB and, I personally, feel this is the bast way to convey the idea of RnB whist keeping it current.
My thoughts
I personally am leaning to using the green and greyscale colours as I feel it is a cool colour in at the moment so we can really see the contrast between old and new RnB and it is unisex appealing to a much larger target audience
