2. • This image is of the model in a
close up, with him resting his head
on his arm. This gives the shot a
more personal view, and makes
the audience more comfortable
with him as he is in a comfortable
pose.
3. • This is an image of the model
posing with a microphone to
their mouth as if they are
performing. It will be a full shot.
This will attract the audience
in, because they are seeing one
of the most prominent artists in
the magazines genre and in the
artists genre performing, which
will excite the audience.
4. • This is an extreme close up of the
model, who is wearing a snap back
which is acting as a zeitgeist, setting
the artist in modern times and
attracting a modern audience.
Also, this picture is not a direct
address from the model, but rather
he is looking to his left. This is a
difference, as usually in the genre the
model is made to look at the camera
directly.
5. • This is the same sort of
picture, but instead it is a close
up, and he is looking right. The
reason for taking two pictures
in the same sort of way is that
I can put them at opposite
places possibly on the double
page spread, which will give it
a sense of individuality, which
will be specific to my
magazine.
6. • This is a picture of the model
on a stool from a full shot. This
is more of a contents page
shot, where I can place the
contents around the model.
This is a standard image found
in quite a few contents pages
across the genre.
7. • This is an extreme close up of the
model, who is wearing a snap
back, something that a significant
sign of youth and Hip-Hop
culture, so it will draw in those
from that culture. This is a direct
address, and only of the models
head, which is also quite a typical
front cover image found on
magazines across the genre.
8. • This is another picture likely to
be for the contents page, with
the model facing away from
the camera but looking over
his shoulder to his right. He is
also holding a microphone in
the hand that can be seen in
the picture. This type of
picture is usually for the
contents because it once again
allows the contents list to be
placed around the image, and
is very typical of this genre.
9. • This is another direct address from
the model to the camera, however
this time it is from a mid
shot, without the artist doing
anything but looking at the camera.
Though the idea of this is fairly
typical, it is not done very much
across the genre, which gives the
magazine front cover the chance to
stand out different from those
magazines.
