Front Cover - The Shoot

Clothes 

For my photo shoot I wanted the person i was using to have some branded clothes normally associated with rock, So i had my "model" wear a DC hoodie, as DC is a well known rock brand alone with Vans which he is wearing Van shoes.
  The look i wanted for my magazine was casual. Nothing over the top. Because I felt that if the audience see and normal looking person on the front of the magazine then they will want to be like them.

Props 

Because its a music magazine I wanted an instrument included in the central image. So for the images i used a Base guitar as they are used by rock bands, this is the only prop that we used for the photos.

Location 

When i took the photos i wanted lighting to be natural  and the only place i could get that was outside. So i took the photos up against a house because it was a plan coloured background  and i got the natural lighting i wanted. Also for me this related to how alot of artists start out. In the streets just them and the music for people to hear.
