This document discusses photos that will be used in a magazine. It explains that the front cover photo will be a mid-shot of the artist to fill most of the frame and attract attention. Internally, one photo shows the top of the artist's legs to feature her on one page while leaving space for text. Another internal photo shows the artist tilting her head and shaking her hair to provide a new perspective. Varied poses and angles between the photos are intended to sustain reader interest and prevent repetitiveness.

This is the photo I will be using for the front cover of my magazine. I wanted a front on mid shot because I want to fill the majority of the front cover with it and I think this will be the most effective way of doing that. I also think that this will attract the attention of the readers because it will be quite bold and ‘in your face’, this will be because the majority of the artist can be seen and therefore fills the photo. I also think that because a mid shot makes the artist fill the photo it stops the audience being distracted by useless background and therefore allows them to focus more intensely on the artist. Furthermore, she is biting her bottom lip, this is a very striking pose as it hints a sense of sexual content within the magazine, this should help to gain and maintain the audiences attention. This pose makes the image and artist look quite seductive, this fits with the ‘pop’ style of the magazine because most pop artists go for this look. It also hits the target audience because they will be mostly teenagers who are attracted to this style of image.
This photo will be used on the contents page of my magazine. This image contains more of the artist, for example in the image the tops of her legs can be seen. I have done this so that she fills the majority of one side of the page. I want to do this so that on the other half text explaining features and contents of the magazine can be displayed. By doing this little of the text should overlap the image meaning it will be easier to read and therefore the magazine can maintain the audiences attention easier. Furthermore, by showing the tops of the artists legs it again hints a sense of sexual content within the magazine, without using the same pose as before, this stops the magazine looking repetitive whilst still giving the same impression to the audience. The artists head is slightly tilted and she is shaking her hair with her hand, this gives a new perspective of the artist and overall makes the image look more interesting.
This photo will be used on the double page spread of my magazine. This is another image of the artist just to help the audience build up an image of the artist. Her body is slightly tilted and she is ‘pouting’ her lips, this is to again give a new perspective of the artist and to make the magazine seem more interesting, by changing the pose it should also stop the magazine looking to repetitive and unprofessional. The fact that her hair isn’t perfectly presented is also important because this will make the image feel more ‘real’ and personal as it shows the artist in the way she actually looks.
This photo will be used on the double page spread of my magazine. This is another image of the artist just to help the audience build up an image of the artist. It is a mid shot like the one that will be used on the front of my magazine, it shows the artist as the focus of the image because she fills the majority of the photo. It is different to the image that will be used on the front as she is not pulling a seductive pose, this makes the image feel more real, and lets the audience see what the artist looks naturally.
This photo will be used on the double page spread of my magazine. This is another image of the artist just to help the audience build up an image of the artist. She is holding her hair with both hands and has her mouth open as if she is saying something. This makes the image and overall the magazine feel more interesting as it is a different pose to the other photos. I also feel that this photo feels more real, and looks less faked. I think this will make the image feel more personal and also make the audience feel like they have seen the ‘real’ artist, I think this is very important. This image is also more landscape than the other images, this will look effective when it is in contrast with other vertical images and vertical columns of text. It ultimately adds a different shape to the magazine.
This photo will be used on the double page spread of my magazine. This is another image of the artist just to help the audience build up an image of the artist. She is sat on the floor and is smiling very naturally, this is good because it makes her look very real, and not fake at all. This will make the magazine article feel more personal. Furthermore, she is sat down because it gives a new perspective and angle that isn't shown in the other photos, this will make the magazine article feel more interesting. The fact she is sat on the floor also implies the artists ‘down to earth’ nature, this will be very effective in my double page spread.
Overall I think that the variety of different photos that I have taken will enable me to make my magazine look very effective. By showing her in different poses and at different angles it will stop the photos looking repetitive and will sustain the audiences attention. Furthermore, I think that the way that some of the photos are slightly seductive, is really effective because it links with both the magazine style and the target audience. This will also stop the magazine looking boring and make it look professional.
