Ideas for photo shoot:

I will be using various background images for my front cover, contents and double page spread, my main idea for the front cover is to have a simplistic background i.e. a white background, so the artist stands out and grabs the target audiences attention. I am going to use numerous outfits and poses for the images, i will then analyse particular photos i like and this will help me to decide which photos will be used for the magazine.

Front cover ideas:

On my cover i will be using simple backgrounds such as a plain wall or a brick wall, the artist will be dressed fashionably to stand out on the page with dramatic make up giving the feel of a pop magazine. As pop music doesnt tend to me associated with instruments on magazine covers props such as guitars wont be used, however a microphone could be used to show the artist performing.

Contents page ideas:

On my contents page I will be using various pictures of the main artist and smaller images of a second artist to show the reader what else the magazine includes. I will have a girl band dressed as my target audience would be for a night out at a club, i will be using plain backgrounds for this as well as a dark location with a busy background.

Double page spread ideas:

The double page spread will relate to the image on the front cover, the artist will be the feature of a interview with different images of the artists in different locations and outfits. One of my ideas was for the artist to be at a park and i liked the idea of chains on the swings to take it away slighly from the girly girl image, also a metal fence behind the artist would give a good affect on the double page spread to make it more dramatic and will be the focus of the double page spread.
