The document provides planning details for images to be used in a music magazine, including a schedule. It describes shooting plans for a front cover featuring a model looking at the camera in red lipstick against white and black backgrounds. For the contents page, a long shot of a person leaning on a guitar is proposed, shown as a current pop artist. A close-up of the front cover model's face with an open mouth for a double page spread interview is also outlined. Locations, equipment, and timing are scheduled over several days for the three main photos.
