Project:
Project Description:
My magazine will be 40 pages long, including a Front Cover, Contents and DPS. I feel this is appropriate for a rap magazine . For this project I am going to take photos of my people or my rap magazine. These people will be aged 16 upwards so that it reflects the target audience I have chosen. I will make sure that the people I am using for my photos are reflective of artists in the rap genre, so they will be wearing brands associated with rappers such as Nike and Armani Jeans, as well as wear jewelry like gold chains and rings.
Photographer:
I will be the photographer when taking the photos for my Magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. The front cover will feature a medium close up shot so the audience can see the aggression in my cover stars face. For all of the photos that will be included in my rap magazine, I will make the lighting high key, this is so that my target audience can see the person in each of my photos clearly. Obviously when I take the photo their will be background, I will take it with a clear background so that its easier for me to remove in Photoshop, I may also use Photoshop to sharpen the image which will in turn bring the cover stars features out more.

The denotation of the name of my magazine is ‘Rapture’. The verbal code ‘Rapture’ connotes an explosion of rap, which is what my readers will receive. I feel this font is unique and bold, and this is the impression I want to have on my readers. I especially like how the magazine name has the word ‘rap’ in it, this emphasizes what the magazine is about. I particularly like the style of the R and this features twice in the title therefore is important. The masthead being black also connotes simplicity, and I want the magazine to be as simple as possible for my audience to read.

Reference images and ideas:
Casting:
I will definitely use this person when taking photos for my magazine, this is because rappers are stereotypically black and rap is also stereotypically a black music genre. He had the sort of hair that rappers may have and has the aggression in his face that I want for my front cover, he is muscular and intimidating as well therefore makes the ideal front cover star.

These 3 pictures are my photos I want to replicate in my magazine when taking photos for my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I chose these kind of photos because I feel they will do the best job off attracting an audience. Two of the three rappers in these photos are both wearing chains emphasizing how important it is for me to include these in my photos for my pages. It connotes wealth and the lavish life style they live,. There stance also Indicates that they are the man. And that’s what all rappers want to be.

Model requirements:
Wardrobe and Look:

These pictures represent the type of look that I want my cover star to have, I want them to look like in British slang terms a ‘Road Man’ this means that they are intimidating, ‘Road Men’ usually wear black designer clothes such as Nike and Armani Jeans. This is the sort of clothing rappers wear also therefore would fit perfectly.

My cover star is black therefore has an afro, I will before the photo is taken ensure he has a haircut similar to this as it highly fashionable and is the sort of haircut a rapper would have.
Where:The photo-shoot will take place in school, in the corridor where there is a clear background so when editing the photo in Photoshop it is a lot easier to remove the background. The background will be white. When:I will take the photo in my Media lesson on Monday week 2, I will do this because I have checked with m cover star and they have confirmed they have this period free.
