Cd cover convention By.Maja
Artists use album covers to market themselves and construct a star image. Common conventions include showing the artist's face to promote recognition and awareness. Some female artists use sexualized images to attract audiences, while male artists may take topless photos if they have a fit body. Album covers can also be used to sell an artistic vision or idea through abstract, controversial, or thought-provoking imagery, which helps the artist stand out and be memorable. Country album covers commonly feature warm orange colors and symbols of rural life like cowboy hats to represent the genre.

Some female artists use sexualized pictures to attract audiences and make money, though this is less common for male artists. Some artists prioritize being artistic and creative with abstract or colorful designs, allowing the audience to interpret the meaning. Others aim to sell an idea through controversial or thought-provoking cover designs that communicate what the album represents.

Plans for image taking
Billie will portray the pop artist. She was chosen because she is photogenic, blonde, and smiley.
Billie will wear a furry white jacket inspired by Beyoncé, along with fishnet tights, heeled boots, and red lipstick to look sexy like female pop artists.
Props will include the clothing, makeup for Billie, and extra makeup to photograph for the digipak. Close-ups and full body shots will be taken to showcase Billie's beauty and outfit.

Many female artists use sexualized images to attract audiences and make money, while some male artists also include provocative poses. Some artists prioritize artistic expression over self-promotion, using abstract or imaginative designs intended to inspire interpretation. Others aim to sell an idea through controversial, funny, or thought-provoking covers that generate discussion of the album's message.

The document discusses the design elements and conventions used in existing music magazines that were referenced to create an original music magazine. These elements include the masthead, issue details, typography variations, barcodes, and pricing. The positioning of elements like the masthead and models are manipulated to maintain audience attention. Poses and facial expressions of male artists in other magazines are also analyzed and used for inspiration to develop representations of male models in the original magazine.
Original photos
This document discusses photo choices for an Indie rock genre. It argues that the photos of a woman in a natural outdoor location wearing dark clothes, makeup and a hat fit the stereotypical Indie style and will appeal to the target Indie rock audience. The location, outfit and makeup are said to match the Indie rock genre.
Second question evaluation
The document discusses how different magazine covers and images represent women. It notes that some images portray modern representations of women as powerful and in control, while others could be viewed as traditional representations portraying women as sex objects meant to appeal to men. The genre of the magazine is R&B and the target audience is women, as suggested by feminine, girly images inside contrasting with more seductive front cover images.

1. The document provides reasoning for photo shoot choices to portray male R&B and hip hop artists in a magazine spread. Photos showing an expensive car, suit, plain t-shirt, trainers, shoes, watch, sunglasses, and belt were chosen to portray wealth, success, masculinity, dominance, and a lavish lifestyle. Backgrounds, poses, and costumes were selected to convey different impressions including arrogance, seriousness, and intimacy. The goal was to represent the genres and engage readers through stereotypical imagery.
Print Costumes
The document discusses costume ideas for two main characters, a female and male, in a creative project on a low budget. For the female character, casual clothing like band tops and shorts from well-known stores will be used to portray a rebellious nature, in contrast to the male character. Similarly, the male character will wear smart casual clothing from brands to fit the target age group. Both actors have clothing options that fit within the budget. Several casual and fashionable outfits are proposed that contrast between the characters but also allow connection. The costumes aim to convey the troubled female and bubbly male personalities.
Photo shoot plan
Jude Munday is planning a photo shoot for their magazine called "Hustle" targeting a hip hop audience. They will photograph a male model wearing iconic hip hop inspired clothing like Supreme and Jordan sneakers. The photos will be taken in Jude's house against a plain white background. Jude's goal is to attract readers by portraying an authentic hip hop aesthetic through the model's dress, pose, and lighting. Key aspects include the model looking directly at the camera with dreadlocks and posing in a way that shows off the fashionable streetwear outfit.
[Done]mood board
The document discusses creating a mood board of female artists to develop a fictional character that counters stereotypes. It aims to apply Richard Dyer's Star Theory to create a memorable persona. For example, the character Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad confidently strips her clothing in front of others not to be seductive but due to child-like behavior of doing what she wants. Eccentric behaviors from these artists can help the fictional character stand out and be easily remembered by audiences.
Model inspirations
This presentation shows different aspects of inspiration, that will help me when deciding what clothing/ makeup/ hairstyles and props to use for my music magazine photoshoot.
Mise en-scene
Lady G is envisioned as a sophisticated, elegant character who will wear a little black dress, heels, and an updo hairstyle to appear sleek and high-end. Her makeup and accessories will reflect hope despite the darkness in her life. Roy will wear all black clothes like a hoodie and sweatpants to appear introverted and blend in, reflecting his depression and reason for murder. Lady G will have high key lighting to symbolize her potential while Roy will have low key lighting to represent his dark life. Lady G will act snobby and confident while Roy will have an introverted posture and be unconfident. Lady G's makeup will be glamorous while Roy will have dark shadows under his eyes
Costume and Prop
Jessie's costumes will mainly consist of smart casual clothing like dresses and shorts from well-known stores to indicate that she is of a higher class than Laurence. This type of fashionable yet professional clothing fits with her personality and career-oriented views. Paige Harker, the actor playing Jessie, already owns this type of clothing so it will not exceed the small costume budget.
Laurence's costumes will be casual clothes like band tops and clothing from well-known brands to appeal to his age range and seem realistic. Most males his age dress casually and don't care much about appearances. Chris Brown, the actor playing Laurence, already owns these types of clothes as well.

The document discusses techniques for attracting a target audience to magazine photoshoots. Poses showing the artist looking away from the camera and appearing lost in thought about memories connect with young adults who enjoy looking back on their teenage years. Outfits featuring a leather jacket, leopard print pants, and red lipstick give off a rock star image that matches the genre and appeals to independent audiences who prefer edgier styles over following crowds. Dark, messy hair further enhances this rock star look associated with the music typically preferred by the target demographic.

Evaluation Question 2
In a magazine article, the author represents hip hop artists stereotypically. The key image shows an artist holding a stereotypical pose for the genre and wearing designer clothes, typically shown by hip hop artists to display wealth. While the artist is not wearing jewelry, which most hip hop artists do, the poses show dominance stereotypically and an interview uses slang language stereotypically associated with hip hop artists.

- 2. Having taken in to consideration the clothing of the male featured on my magazine, I had to think about how I would like my star to be portrayed. To do this I thought about the way in which my star would pose and his body language. Hip hop stars usually pose in ways that reflect their persona therefore I wanted my star to pose in a way that would be referred to as “cool” . Also they usually look quite serious and rarely smile therefore I do not want my model to be smiling. The stars also seem to be quite lose and look like they are not really bothered, I would like my model to portray this sort of image. As you can see he is not smiling and seems to look more serious. Body language is quite lose, does not seem smart, reflects his cool persona.
