Hannah Hughes is creating a rock magazine for a school project. She lists props and reasons for including them to make the magazine look professional. She plans to feature models holding a guitar to define them as artists, wearing dark clothing and jeans stereotypical of rock, and done up with hair and makeup to look like real rock stars. Accessories will add character. A camera and tripod will be used to take high quality photos fitting for the magazine.

Prop List for my Rock Magazine
Props Reason why/inspiration
1. Guitar This is becauseI feel like most male
artists are photographed with a guitar.
This is probablebecause it clearly
defines them as an artist. This is why I
will be using a guitar in my photos, as
it will ensurethat my magazinelooks
professional. Hereis an example of a
Kerrang magazinecover that uses a guitar:
Dark clothing This is becausethe dark colours are
stereotypical of the rock genre. This
will ensure that my magazine
successfully targets the correct
audience. Here is an example of a
Kerrang cover, which follows the dark
clothing idea:
Jeans I will also ensurethat all models are wearing jeans. This
is becausejeans are typical for rock artists to wear. They
make the artist look more laid back, calm and more
comfortable, which is stereotypical of the rock genre.

Products I will be using hair products and make up to ensurethat
there are no spots or and that hair is exactly as an artist
would have it. This will make the models more believable
as real rock artists, and therefore make my magazine
look morerealistic and professional.
Accessories My main model will be wearing simple accessories, such
as a watch and earrings. This is basic jewellery that really
adds to the character the model is portraying. The
accessories will suggestthat the model takes pride in
their appearance. This is stereotypical of a rock artist,
and will therefore add to the professionallook of my
magazine.
Camera I will need a camera in order to take the photos that I will
be using in my magazine. This is why I will be using a
canon camera, as it is a good quality camera that will
make my photos look professional.
Tripod I will also need a tripod to ensurethat my photos are
exactly as I wantthem. The tripod will ensurethat the
camera is pointing in the exact place I wantin order to
get the best pictures possible. This is why it is very
important to have a tripod when taking images.
