Mens Street Fashion & Magazine Research

I have decided to do Men's casual street fashion because I feel like this is something I know well and i wanted to create a magazine that I know I would be able to talk about. I also think that this is a very open shoot and can still be very interesting depending on how created you decided to be.  As for my final product I will be creating a magazine so I might create a casual and then a smart page, but both for affordable prices.

I have got some examples of magazine speeds and covers that I will help to inspire me with my own magazine and to help me generate layout ideas.

I am not too sure about the page spread personally this is not something that i would do myself. I think it looks too serious and I would want my magazine to look more fun and colour full, this page spread is very plan and basic.

I like this one because it think is it always important for people to have something to read, I don't think anyone wants to buy a magazine that is full of images only and no writing its pointless. I also like all the cropped products and accessories to help fill up the page and it helps to add colour.

I also like this one again because of the layout, how it has one page that is focused on an image and then the other is on a story but obviously my magazine is going to be about fashion so it may not contain as much writing as some other magazines. 

I love the photograph style I think this is something I could easily created out on location. I also really like the translucent writing over the image, it really helps to brighten it and gives it that modern look and feel about it,

I really like the image layout again for this, not so much all the writing but I think this would be a good idea for a page I also like the contrast of the images.

These are some examples of magazine covers that I could recreate and help to inspire me.

I really like the busy cover look, I am not too sure about it over lapping the writing on the image, to me its feels really cramped and squished.

I definitely prefer this cover because it is simple, light colour and it is very welcoming, the text doesn't over lap too much with the image and all the colours work very well together to create a nice even contrast.  I like the simple plan background I think that it is very easy to work with.

mens modeling poses

This is a small collection of images of male model poses, i thought it would be a good idea to look at male poses to help my model and to help me direct them. This was also very helpful to give me the idea on what type of poses, I wanted to use and what effect they make give, this also helped me to decided what type of like I wanted and which one would be most effective.
