CHOSEN IMAGESFront cover image:

I am going to choose this image for my final magazine as I feel engaged through the photo, interested and find the photo of my model Ella intriguing – if I was my audience and saw this photo as a front cover I would be interested In the story she was going to tell her facial expressions alone tell a story of upset and being lost. The red lipstick stands out and attracts both female and male reader, the red lipstick would connotate sexy to the male generation whilst expressing an outgoing personality to the female reader.

Contents page images:

So far these 4 images has caught my eye the most in being outstanding image quality for my contents page – I believe for a contents page to succeed you need a wide variety of images to ensure it being interesting and showing of the genre of your magazine. My image chosen of model Claudia explores the genre of my magazine through holding a guitar pulling a straight face, normally in this pop/urban genre artists tend to do this as it shows a sense of the music telling a story about how they feel. Ella crouching down starting into the camera would suggest a difference in shots being used, whilst the mid shot used describes more of a cheeky shot of Ella whilst she plays with her hair, sensing her naughty personality. Whilst a mid shot of Ruth sat on the floor crossed legged she enables a more childish happy character, with her hair up and long fringe she would describe a calm quite personality. All the images used show difference in clothing, make up and angles helping to give a variety of images for my contents page hoping to ensure showing difference.

Double page spread 1 Image:

Here I wanted an extreme close up of my main model Ella as my starter of a double page spread, I wanted to do this as I feel it creates a bond between the model and reader and you can tell a story through the face in which she pulls. I choose this image in particular because the model herself looks away from the camera it creates a sense that she doesn't feel right in herself and maybe wants to avoid the manic world of being in the music industry. Her hoop earrings with fur jacket and smart top would signify her urban dress sense also stereotyped as a ‘hipster’ which would help to engage my reader as they would stereotypically be known as a hipster. This chosen image also helps to present a different range of images I have taken.

For my double page spread I wanted to create a collage, in this I would include a variety of images which I would mix together to create this. I felt these images chosen showed a range of outfits, shots and facial expressions. I felt the top left image showed a darker side to Ella’s personality through the dark lipstick and hair covering her face whilst the bottom left image foreshadowed a clear and sensitive side to her.

I have chosen these images for my final double page, the bottom left I have used as a A4 size image on the right to the text, I choose to use this image as I felt it foreshadowed a mysterious side to Ellas personality, her innocent face with dark purple lipstick whilst her hair flows over her face I felt it was a good choice of image. Due to the context of the article an image needs to overall summarise what is happening in the article as the image will be the first thing you look at when choosing to read a magazine – in this situation my article is based on Ella having many battles before facing her dream her looking away from the camera would convey a sense of being lost – something in which my model was throughout part of the article.
