Ideas of what I want my cover model to wear, and props I’d like to use, for my photo-

shoot.

Outfit 1:These are probably the shots I will use for my front cover so I’d like the colours of my models outfit to compliment my theme.I’d like my model to wear a smart suit and a red tie. The red tie will match my colour scheme and the title, which is also red. This will show uniformity, making my magazine appear smarter and more professional. In this shot I’d like him to be holding a guitar as it will be on the cover and I want the reader to immediately be aware of the purpose and genre of this magazine. It also gives the musician credit as it shows they play their own music. This is good as some people feel like the music industry is being taken over by computers and technology.

Outfit2:Britain is well known for rainy weather. As it’s winter, my outdoors shot will probably be set in the cold, rainy weather. This means my model will wear winter clothes such as a coat, and they may have an umbrella. I’d like my model to wear grey and black times so they suit the sulky, morbid feeling usually associated with cold and wet weather in the winter. A long coat would look smart and continue the smart character I have created for my model.

Outfit 3:In the photographs I'm taking with the piano, I’d like my model to look as if he has got in from a day out and is winding down at home. I’d like him to dress like he's been to a formal event so a waistcoat and tie would be appropriate. It also highlights a sense of his sophisticated and British style that I am trying to create. I may also include books as it presents him as intelligent which may make him more likeable by the readers.
