- 5. Inspiration... When taking my photos I should aim to take mostly long medium close up shots of the main person/people. I have found that in most music magazines; they usually give away a free CD or calendar. I will aim to produce this when making my own. When creating a contents page make sure if using pictures to connect them to the page number used in one of your photos. When thinking about colours, I should use no more than three colours. When producing the double page spread, I should aim to provide a clear title and a photo.
