Market Harborough: The old grammar school


This location is the old grammar school in the centre of Market Harborough, it is easy to get to and I thing that it would be good to get some shots underneath the school with the old beams in the background. the whole sense of having a school shows the age of my character being young, it also supports the idea that my characters music is old school.

Urban locations

Here I have filtered out my search to urban areas and buildings and here are my results. The nearest location is Market Harborough.

Photo shoot areas

As we are in Northamptonshire, I have researched the nearest locations that are the most photogenic in the county, as this is a house magazine I would like to find an urban are and maybe an abandoned place. here is a link of a website I have found which is perfect for providing me with good locations.

Lucas Francois


the famous French House DJ Lucas Francois who is also better know as is a new and upcoming sensation with the modern music era. The French star has already had one successful European tour and has had 4 top singles in the UK.
 
 
Francois was born in a small village called La Benoit near Paris and grew up with a small family in the 90's. He has a mother called Marie and two brothers called Ethan and Theo. Lucas' father was killed in a car accident when he was just a teenager. It has been his motivation ever since to be successful in whatever he does in memory of his beloved dad.
 
Francois found inspiration from bands like Daft Punk, also of French nationality, and famous DJ, Tiesto. It has been his life long ambition to become a successful house artist and to share his sound around the world.
 
The unmistakeable, quality music of Lucas was first noticed on his YouTube channel by a famous producer Bill Michael when he was only 17. Bill Michael saw Francois potential straight away and organised a meeting to negotiate a record deal.

The Colour Wheel

I have added a colour wheel as part of my research, this is because it can be useful for me when thinking about the colour schemes for my magazine. One of my main struggles whenever I design something is thinking about the right colours. The wheel shows you what colours work really well together, it tells you which colours contrast and compliment each other. you can see whether the colours compliment each other for example when you look at the Orange, the opposite side is Blue which compliments Orange, the same as Green compliments Red.
