Photo Plan

I plan to use a female as the headliner of the magazine. I have created a rock magazine so my photos will play a big part in creating the rock theme for the magazine. In my research of music magazines I find the common front covers use close up shots of the artists to show clearly who they are. For my front cover I plan to use a close up of a single female, dressed in dark contemporary clothing. She will also be wearing striking makeup, (bright red lips and dark black eyes) and jewellery to fit in with the celebrity culture.

I plan to use many pictures in my contents page as they are used as teaser photos to invite a reader into the magazine. I will use some photos I have taken of live bands, to make it similar to a real music magazine.I will use a mixture of mid shots and long shot photos to show all the different types of artists there are inside this magazine.

For my double page spread I plan on using a medium long shot which usually shows an entire person head to foot. This gives me the oppurtunity to show much more of the environment, the background.
