Front cover Photos

Here is a range of potential front cover photos that I would pick from.
I told my artist to wear red, black and white clothing so that it matches my colour scheme. This will create a strong final piece, because the artist’s clothes usually match the colour scheme in magazines that I have looked at (such as Vibe/XXL).
I also told my artist to wear a chain, watch, hat and sunglasses; because I noticed that these are conventions of hip hop magazines.

 

 These two images are similar. On my front cover, there would be a pull-out quote saying "It's My Time", much like in this issue of Vibe it states 'Its Obama Time.' In my photo, the artist is looking towards his watch which emphasises the idea of the time.

This shot shows the artist pointing towards the camera, which is similar to Vibe magazine, as Akon is doing the same pose. I think this pose looks strong and straight to the point, the artists also looks as if he is in control too. This idea of power is emphasised through my colour scheme (red, black and white) which are all bold and powerful colours.
