The photo’s will be
taken in front of a
plain white
background as I
want to remove the
background on
photoshop leaving
only the model. To
do this quickly it will
be much easier to
have a plain
background so I can
use the quick select
tool on photoshop
to remove the
background
effortlessly.

1 White Natural looking lighting. Lighting
for background and model is
similar.
Long shot
So that it covers the whole of the
right hand side of the page leaving
room on the left.
Rule of Thirds.
2 White Dark background with light
shining on the model.

So that it covers the whole of the
right hand side of the page leaving

3 White Predominately dark lighting with
light shining directly on face only
Long shot
So that it covers the whole of the
right hand side of the page leaving
room on the left.

4 White Very bright, although I expect
this will provide unwanted
shadow but I will try it anyway.
Long shot
So that it covers the whole of the
right hand side of the page leaving
room on the left.
Rule of Thirds
The photo’s will be
taken in front of a
plain white
background as I
want the
background to be a
plain colour so that
the different articles
listed on the
contents can be
read easily without
any contrast in the
background
6. Double Page Spread
• 2 different landscape
photos taken from
different angles.
• Article with split into
two sections down the
page, not one large
essay. Makes it more
aesthetically pleasing.
• Same font as front cover

1 White Light lighting on faces

Medium Close up
Camera looking
upwards – this
shows dominance!
2 White Strong lighting on face Medium Close up
Camera looking

4 White Low lighting on faces Medium Close up
Camera very low

Yet again a white
background as I
want the focus to be
on the “band” as
oppose to the
background. It
shows them as
important as the
only thing that
matters which suits
their style.
8. Costumes
• All models will wear “mod” style clothing to help attract an extra
audience to my magazine to boost sales.
• The costumes will include ALL wearing ‘Fred Perry.’ This is the most
common mod brand.
• My long shot will show Fred Perry but also Adidas Original trainers,
favourable during the 1980 football hooligan scene which was parallel
to mod culture.
• These are suitable as it fits my main story of a band joining the
underground rock genre and this is common clothing for that area. It
also additionally attracts a new market.
