Front Cover
Image 1
Front cover image of Joshua Hudson
Description of image
Josh will be looking directly into the camera, with hands behind his back (in his back pockets)
Connotations/ Signifiers
The fact that he will be looking directly at the audience will build a connection between his story and the audience. As he will be alone in this shot, and will be the centre of visual interest, it connotes his male dominance in the magazine, which is essentially what is being portrayed throughout the magazine – and also conforms to what I have researched in other magazines of this genre, which are usually male-dominated. It also indicates that he is the main subject of the magazine – the cover story, and given that he is an unknown artist, will give him the opportunity to increase his popularity. Lastly, the fact that his hands will be behind him shows that he is inviting the audience to know his story and, more generally, Indie Rock music is inviting to all.
Shot/ Angle
Medium close up, although I will also experiment with the different shots I use here, such as long shots, high angles, low angles, side angles -with the actor looking directly into the camera and at side views.
Actors
Josh
Costumes
Red and black shirt, black jeans/trousers, black leather jacket, trilby hat and converses

Image 3
Front cover image of Joshua Hudson
Description of image
Same as Image 1 – may try having actor with his hands in his front pockets
Connotations/ Signifiers
Same as Image 1 – having his hands in his pockets will signify him appearing casual and friendly, and may connote him not looking overly confident or egotistical as he is still an unknown singer striving to become better known. In this sense, he will come across as humble and modest, which may attract more people to buy the magazine.
Shot/ Angle
High angle – this will make the actor appear rather powerful and dominant – suggesting that Indie Rock music itself is a powerful genre of music.
Actors
Same as Image 1
Costumes
Black leather jacket; smart black and red shirt and black trousers/jeans

Description of image
This will be a simple shot of Bradley looking directly into the camera, smiling invitingly.
Connotations/ Signifiers
This image will simply show that he is one of the contributors of my magazine – this is a small feature I wanted to include on my contents page. He will be wearing smart casual clothing to also represent the target audience, yet with his inviting smile and smart approach, indicate that he is part of a professional product.

Jerome’s upcoming band
Description of image
I will capture this upcoming band during mid-performance as they perform at an intimate gig. It will be the whole band, and possibly some of the audience, too.
Connotations/ Signifiers
This image will indicate that they are still a young, upcoming band, performing to a small number of people. This is exactly the sort of band that I want my magazine to promote.
