IMAGETaking up entire background of cover.

BARCODEIn upper right corner with price, website and date next to it on the left.

COVER PHOTO SHOOT PLANI want the image to be a portrait headshot of a girl lying

down . I want her hair to be an interesting colour that I will edit on later. I want the rule of thirds to be used on my

cover, so I will crop the images so that the girls head is on the right hand side. I want the model to have an intense

stare that looks up at the reader to draw them in.THE MODEL I WOULD LIKE TO USE:

My friend Lunara.

THE OUTFIT:An unique jacket or top because you will only be able to see her shoulders.

LOCATION: My mums bedroom on her bed

LIGHTING:I will use a lamp for lighting.

PROPS:None.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS I TOOK OF LUNARA ON THE BED.

2. On Photoshop I edited the image and turned Lunara’s hair and eyebrows pink to give her and edgy alternative look. I also made the image a bit more contrasted and I added eye shadow to match her hair.

1. This is the image I chose, I picked it because it was exactly the image I wanted, the lighting is perfect, the clothing and the model worked perfectly as well.

FIRST DRAFT

IMPROVEMENTS FEEDBACK

1. Needs a Barcode2. All text should be in

line3. More interesting

kickers

FINAL DRAFT

My magazine was inspired by clash in the image and the masthead and all my kickers were inspired by

NME. The reason I laid out all the kickers, masthead, etc in the way I did was so

that the first thing the reader sees is the

masthead, then the kickers then the models face. I

made the image like this so that the reader is confused as to whether she is lying down of her hair is flying

up. I made the models hair pink to make her look more alternative and indie and I think this worked very well

and would draw in different/alternative

people.
