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.
