Where I am thinking of having my photo shoot.

I have been think and i have multiple locations that could be my final and actual location. 
The first location is a studio/theatre/stage shot, as it is quite a popular choice for classical and would suit a smart and clean look for my front cover.

The second is a shot were there is a quite stream/river/lake this is as it would suit the calm and tranquil look that my magazine is trying to represent. 

The Third is a location were it is basic, maybe a simple and blank background (sky,wall,countryside etc.) this is for the magazine to look basic and clean, also so the cover star can stand out.

Research Dps Classical 2

This dps is a mixture of conventions that are adhered too and those that are challenged. It has a large headline which is located across the top of the left page, this is great for the reader as it is very contrasting from the dark background.  The white font is in a country style and the letters are of an unequal size and shape. This suggests that things are changing and that things are not always stable. Perhaps this reflects the changes in the music industry or perhaps the changes they have seen as they have got older.

The dps has a large image which is the whole background, this is a wide two shot. Their costume is old fashioned and casual. But it is worn by a younger artist and this helps the audience to relate to them. They have a clear star image and are not stereotypical.  The target audience of this in 20-30 and this image will appeal to them.

The language and register is interesting. there is slang in the headline and this appeals to a more informal audience and their informal approach to music. They use "beat up" materials to make music and this is intriguing. There are rhetorical questions that also include elements of mild bad language
 "How the hell..." once again developing an informal register and approach. The use of the two cans in the image links to the idea of using old and worn out items as this was an old form of communication. This develops the idea that they are communicating their music in an unusual way. Although the register is formal as it is in this domain [magazine article] it still conveys a friendly approach through the word choices made.

Research: Dps Classical 1

This dps is a very simple and conventional. There is a clear headline and standfirst. This informs the reader about the main content of the article. The heading is located on the left hand side of the page in a clear white space of the page, this is very visible as the font is contrasting with the white background.

The dps has also a image located in the middle of the 2 pages, there are also 2 other images; these help the reader have more visuals of maybe the places or the performers. The large image and the image on the right are location shots which are conventional with it a classic magazine. The main image breaks conventions as it goes across the centre fold.

It consists of a large amount of writing this is located a cross the middle and bottom of the page, this again is very conventional within classical magazines.

The dps has a pull quote located in the centre of the left page this helps  to show the artists views and pulls out prominent things they have said. It also helps break up the large amounts of writing.

The language is complex and formal, it has a lot of in depth terminology being used. This also appeals to the older audience this magazine is intended for.
