I used pop singer Rhianna as inspiration to base my model for my front cover around.

By Lucy Clarke

2. Explanation
I chose Kayyah to model for my front cover and got a lot of
inspiration from Rhianna. However, shall be using kayyah’s
name spelt a bit differently to create my own celebrity, I
have done this throughout my media product with all my
models. I thought It would be easier to take a role model In
the music industry to follow off. In return, this made it
easier to inspire a look and gave me something to base my
model off so I knew what to do for styling and the look and
characteristics of my model on the front cover. This
developed my understanding of how to appeal to a certain
target audience as I am of the age of my set target audience
and view Rhianna as an inspiration. This helped me a lot
and I will continues to use style inspirations throughout my
music magazine.

3. Rhianna In Relation To My Target
Audience
I used Rhianna as she is a modern female artist who is of a mixed
race, as she is originally form Barbados. Having a mixed race
celebrity/role model, could potentially make my magazine
appeal to more than one ethnic group. Meaning my magazine
has a wider target audience gap. Rhianna is a well known and
well liked celebrity who is known for her soulful, upbeat and
modern music. She is also seen as a style icon to teenagers and
early adulthood. This fits into my target audience which is why I
will use her look as inspiration to base my model from. Rhianna
is fun and loving with a mysterious edge I like this look and think
it will be a good inspiration that I can base my main image
around. Also I have researched pop/chart music magazines an
Rhianna was seen on a lot of the front covers.

4. Kayyah in relation to Rhianna
I will use Rhianna as inspiration for my model Kayyah. As
said, I have chosen Kayyah as she is mixed race like Rhianna
to appeal to a wider target audience. I can also adapt
Rhianna’s look into my photo shoot with Kayyah to make it
look professional and so I can have something to work off. I
see a lot of Rhianna in Kayyah as she is young and attractive
as well as having fun and loving characteristics. As well as
Kayyah being very down to earth and modern and up to
date in modern day trends. Kayyah is also very fun and
playful which can be noticed and portrayed within the
photo shoot, again this would be very appealing to my
target audience as I don’t want them to confuse the main
image for something they would see in a fashion magazine
photo shoot.
