Note of casting:

With the help of John, I was able to arrange a photo shoot in the green room with 'Ben' the media technician.


It will be during period 2 on Monday the 1st of December 2014. I have reccomended the kind of clothing I hope for him to be able to wear and provided some pictures and music videos of Kavinsky - the artist who played a huge part in founding the genre of Retro Wave that my magazine 'Exoskeleton' is themed on.

I also have a pair aviator sunglasses for the shoot as well.


(I have to make sure that he doesn't look too much like Kavinsky or it will become obvious plagiarism.)


Edit: We were unable to do do the shoot on monday morning, but were able to do it on tuesday afternoon between 3:00 PM and 3:45 PM.

Exoskeleton masthead testing

I was testing the background removal on my masthead. I quickly copied a relevant image onto a layer behind to use while finding an optimal transparency level in which there was minimal white remaining in the writing layer, but the greyer shades of black were not corroded away. I chose 60/255

However, while doing this I found that black and white actually looked interesting and added an unexpected noir feel, which given the Retro, Sci-Fi theme of the music which it portrays, could easily achieve a 'tech-noir' feel

My Magazine Price

Look at magazines within your genre:

• Find out Price - £3.99?
• Find out whether it's monthly or weekly
• Find out how many pages
• Find out if it's subscribe-able/has subscription offers

There are no magazines based specifically on this genre.

The audience for this genre is relatively Niche

Due to this, I think that it would be a monthly magazine.

This would mean it would probably be a fairly small 50 Page magazine as there simply isn't much to talk about.

This would require it to be fairly cheap - I'd estimate around £4.99
