For her pop music magazine, the author took photos of appealing people on a plain white background to make them easier to photoshop into different backgrounds related to pop music. She used photoshop to modify most photos to look more appealing and focused on pop music by making the artists stand out against backgrounds that could be easily changed or removed.
1. Location Analysis
For my magazine, I have taken a considerable amount of images of people I
consider appealing to my target audience. I used those images for my front
cover, contents page and double page spread. All of them have been taken on a
plain white background. I have chosen a plain white background because it
gives me the possibility to photoshop a different background that is more
appropriate for Pop magazines. I used photoshop for most of my photos in order
to make them look more appealing and related to pop music. It is easier to add a
background to a picture than take pictures in different locations and it can be
easily changed or removed. It is also more appealing as it can be modified in
order to look better. The images are clearer and stand out more, the audience
will focus on the artist rather than the background.
