Here are some original photographs I have
taken for my contents page and double
page spread. I love these pictures because
they show a fun, crazy side to my model
which is exactly what I want to portray in
my magazine. As my magazine is aimed at
young, fun women, I need my images to
represent this. In the pictures, as you can
see, my model is wearing a dark black dress
with mesh inserts. I chose this specifically
for the photo shoot as I wanted my model
look edgy, daring and sexy.
I have also added sparkly pink and silver glitter to
her hair to show a more wild/party side to her
personality and I have stuck purple glitter to her
lips. This image represents a woman who doesn't
care about what people think of her, somebody
that is very outrageous and outgoing, and more
importantly, somebody who breaks normal
conventions in society. My magazine is aimed at
women who are independent, carefree and
enjoying their youth. My front cover image is the
complete opposite to what I am putting in the
contents page. I have done this because I want
there to be a contrast in personalities.
As my interview will reveal, 'Jade-Lou' has a very different side to her
that will be intriguing for the target audience I am trying to reach.
Whilst still keeping with the feminine and girly theme, I am putting a
little Indie Rock twist on my magazine.
In these photos, I have shots of her laughing and blowing glitter at the
camera because I want to show a fun loving side to my musician. My
target audience are the type of women who enjoy parties, festivals,
concerts and therefore it wouldn't be appropriate to include boring
pictures that represent a less exciting lifestyle.
As well as images of my musician, I have some
photographs of Jamie T and Ben Howard live in
concert that I took whilst at the UEA in
November and December. These tie in perfectly
with the genre of my magazine because they are
both indie musicians. Not only this but in my
research questionnaire when I asked who
peoples favourite artists were, Ben Howard came
up a lot. This means that for my target audience,
it is completely relevant to include an artist like
this in my magazine and it will attract a lot of
attention, therefore giving my magazine a selling
point.
I have also included a photograph that I gave
to my friend to take whilst my friends and I
were in a crowd at Latitude Festival in July
2014. I have used this because as stated
before, the social groups I am representing
enjoy spending time and gigs and festivals and
therefore this is completely relevant. It’s a fun
photo of all of us and as you can see we are all
smiling – this represents the fun natured part
of the personalities I am trying to portray.
There are also some other images I took
whilst at Latitude that I am considering
using in my work.
