Final images

Photo shoot

Image edit

In these images, I have taken them step by step to be able to edit them all together. This could be used for the double paged spread. 

Description of images for my magazine front cover

For my main image, I have planned to stick to my genre of pop/rock and use conventions that suggest to that. I will be taking my pictures on a plain white wall and include lighting at different angles. The angle of the camera will be taken face on because I have found with my own research that music magazine cover images usually have an image of the artist looking head on. 

For my location I have chosen to use a white painted wall at home just so I can get a plain and simple background for my main image. For the person who will be on my front cover, my cousin has agreed to be in the photographs as she has the costumes and makeup I am looking for in my front cover. 

For props I will be using my own guitar which will be held by my cousin the photographs. For makeup and costume I have chosen to keep the rock and pop look by using clothing items such as ripped jeans and rock shirts. The image will be taken as a medium long shot but I will also be taking other photographs for the double paged spread which will be full length shots of the whole body. As it is a double paged spread I will have the photograph taken long ways so I can edit it across the two pages.

Main cover image templates

Even though some of these magazines are not related to music, I plan to use the main cover images of these magazine as a template for my own for when I come to take them.
