1. I have looked into many different magazine
clothing ideas, jumpers and jeans were a
frequent clothing that was on the cover of some
POP magazines. I found that this jumper is casual
and ties in with my theme of how the artist lives
a normal life. I was thinking of taking various
shots with different jumpers and tops this is
because the colour of the jumper isn’t set in
stone so I would like to try out the various
options.

2. Black jeans are frequently used in magazine covers as
they’re match with everything and can project power
and elegance. Black jeans and a jumper are what most
people own so this clothing idea makes the artist look
like an ordinary person apposed to some magazines
where they’re dressed in dresses and expensive
clothing something not all readers can afford.

3. I am not going to use high heels or flashy
expensive shoes purely because I don’t
own any, also I wanted to make my artist
seem like a real person rather then have
them looking like an A-list celebrity who
lives a Hollywood life. This is because the
theme of my magazine is the artist life
before fame and how they escape to
normal life.

5. Costume 2
This costume idea is more dressy then the others, I don’t want my artist to be dressed in revealing
clothing as it goes against my story line as I don’t want my artist to be projected like that. I was
thinking of a simple dress or jeans and a nice top, this is easy access for me and looks simple but
dressy. For the shoes I was thinking maybe some boots or nice shoes. Example Artists would be
Beyoncé or Rihanna, they always look glamorous as they wear fancy clothing. They’re usually fully made
up in Make-up and wear minimal clothing. This is something I can’t replicate in my magazine as it
doesn’t follow the restricted guide lines. All these pictures show the artist in a position that makes
them look powerful this is something I could replicate within my magazine.

6. Costume 3
For my final design I was thinking of doing a more sporty version, for
example artist such as Jessie J who opt to dress in more ‘tomboy’ clothing
making them look more rock pop. This could be an ideal costume and

9. Out of these three pop music magazines a clear convention is that the
celebrities aren’t ‘caked’ in makeup, making them look more natural and
real. This is something I’d like to do in my magazine as the theme I’m
going for is the natural stars life and how they escape from the pop star
life.
