^This is the main image for my front cover, i choose this image as it's a medium close up therefore you can see the image in enough detail. I also choose this image as the model is not looking directly to the camera which is often what you find on most magazines therefore i wanted to challenge this and make the image seem more secretive and intriguing.

These are the photos that i have taken for my Music magazine project. When taking the images i wanted the ideology of someone who looks independent, strong and not afraid to put it out there which I think shows a representation of Independent music. Therefore when choosing outfits for my model to wear i wanted something original which again is a symbol towards indie music but also something that appeals to my target population. Therefore I mixed accessories such as sunglasses and neck scarf’s and also belts, i also defiantly wanted to use an image of my model with a leather jacket and a blazer on as this shows some elements of the indie fashion genre.


I have many different shots of my model. I knew that for my music magazine front cover I would want to choose a medium close up shot, this is because on the front cover I want the image to be the main focus therefore it needed to be a close up, I have also chosen to use medium long shots as I defiantly want the audience to see the outfits I have chosen for the model to wear as this does show some ideology and the representation of my target audience and also the audience can get an idea of what the character is supposed to be like, I defiantly wanted to use medium long shots for my double page spread.
As you can see in the photographs I have taken I have used two different outfits one outfit consists of a black t-shirt, a black and white blazer a neck scarf and a pair of sunglasses which gives quite a high class arrogant look the second outfit consists of a pair of a jeans, a black t-shirt with silver studs on it and a leather jacket which presents a much more laid back friendly look, i did this because i wanted to show the different personality's of my fictional character for my double page spread.


I manipulated some of my photos on photoshop, this include elements such as turning the images black and white for a more effective look, I also enhanced some of the colours to make the images brighter and stand out more and i also did the opposite and darkened a few images and enhanced the contrast. I also tried editing the background out on some of the images but i did not like the overall effect therefore when I took the images in the second outfits i tried to take the photos with a blank background behind.
