Behind the Scenes of Student Speak


You’re probably wondering what stage we are up in the production process of our first magazine, so here’s a little update to get you all excited for our upcoming issue!

Last week we shot the cover of our May magazine, which was really exciting as it shows how our Student Speak pilot is really starting to come together!

For the festival-themed May mag shoot we had plenty of appropriate props, from sunglasses to flower headbands, to lollipops and a camera. Photographer Chloe Jones had all her equipment set up and was raring to go!

However, there was a minor hitch at the start with a slight wardrobe malfunction. Our cover girl Rio Wilcock had brought along a see-through shawl which was indeed summer style, but a bit more Nuts  without a vest underneath, so we anxiously scoured our wardrobe for substitute clothing. A small white top saved the day and looked perfect underneath the tasselled piece, so the outfit disaster was soon diverted.

Previously editor Hannah and I had scoured the fashion pages of several Cosmopolitan magazines, searching for inspiration and tearing out images we deemed suitable; we were on a mission to seek out the best model poses which were fun, summery and student-style! On the day, me, Hannah, Chloe and Rio poured over these pages for ideas, as well as thinking up some of our own.

Overall the day was fun, productive and after having a sneak peek at the images, we are really excited about the outcome!
