For my front cover:

Date: 23/2/14.Equipment: Nikon d3000 Camera.Location: Muddy field.

Main Model: Laura Mason.Costume: plain white dress, blue denim jacket, gold statement chain necklace, black chunky boots.Makeup: dramatic, dark eye-makeup – winged eyeliner.Hair: Straight with texture – loose.

I chose this date because the weather forecast had said it would be sunny and I wanted a bright setting with good light for my photos.

I chose this location because I was inspired by the NME cover featuring Mumford and Sons. They use a field setting and I like how this creates a natural feel to the image. Also, this location was easy to get hold of.

I chose this model because I was inspired by the image of Ellie Goulding (used in my mock-up). Therefore, I wanted a blonde model with fair skin.

I chose this costume because I wanted my model to wear plain colours with a colour scheme of black, white, blue and gold. I wanted my model to wear a denim jacket because I was inspired by a photo of MIA on NME’s cover.

I chose this particular hair and makeup look because I was inspired by an image of Lily Allen on the cover of NME. I like the way it gives a ‘grunge’ feel and wanted to recreate this for my own magazine cover image.

For my contents page:

Date: 23/2/14.Equipment: Nikon d3000 Camera.Location: Muddy field, fence.

Main Model: Laura Mason.Costume: (as before) + large tartan shirt, camouflage jacket, black bowler hat.Makeup: (as before).Hair: (as before).

Subsidiary Model: Grace Murray.Costume: plain black top, blue jeans, navy blue jacket, gold trainers, gold hoop earrings, gold statement necklace, multiple gold rings.Makeup: bold, dark lipstick – plum coloured.Hair: straight with texture, half tied up with ‘scrunchy’ hairband.

I chose this location because I thought the fence would be a good, plain background and allow the focus to be on the model.

I chose this costume because I wanted the model to wear something different from the cover and the tartan shirt was inspired from the Lily Allen image.

I was inspired by the image of Cara Delevingne (used in the mock-up) and therefore wanted another blonde model with distinctive facial features.

I chose this costume because I wanted to stick to my colour scheme. Also, I was inspired by the current fashion of young/adults and teenagers, as they are my target audience.

I chose this makeup look because I thought it would emphasise the best features of my model and the bold look would show up well on camera.

For my double page spread:

Date: 23/2/14.Equipment: Nikon d3000 Camera.Location: Muddy field, garage, car.

Subsidiary Model: Grace Murray.Costume: (as before) + black and gold kimono, blue dress, black bowler hat, sunglasses.Makeup: (as before).Hair: (as before).

I chose this location because I thought the garage would be an interesting background and using a car would give the page a unique look. It would also symbolise making a journey, as this is what I was the page to represent; a band’s journey into the spotlight. This idea was inspired by the use of a car in NME’s cover featuring Florence Welch.

I chose to add another change of costume because I thought it would create a nice variety of images and make them differ from one another. Again, I was inspired by current fashion of my target audience to appeal to them most, as well as staying to my colour scheme.
