Research Into Similar Products: Cover stars

To get an idea for what my photography from my magazine should look like I looked for magazines of a similar genre to take inspiration from. As I am taking the majority of my inspiration from Rock Sound I decided to see how they present their cover stars. I found that the majority of their covers include an entire band as the main image, with the front man/woman at the front and the rest of the band behind him/her. When you look at the body language and facial expressions of the cover stars, every single cover star is making direct address with the reader.




All of the covers have one or more element of dark colours on them, this matched the “emo” side of the alternative genre, and in most cases it is the cover stars’ clothing that is black. From this I know that my cover stars should wear dark colours on the day I take the photographs for my magazine. Alternatively, I could ha have my cover stars wearing white or bright colours to contrast a black background.
