Photos for my front cover and double page spread

Photoshoot with Jack, Charlotte and Max  

I arranged to meet up with some friends, Jack, Charlotte and Max and they agreed to be my models for my magazine. I also asked Jack if he could bring his guitar along with him as I wanted them all to be holding it whilst I took photos. By using this prop in the photoshoot, it would make them look more like 'rockstars'. The images above are some of the pictures I took from that night.

Front Cover Image

After looking at all the photos that I took, I decided that I really liked Jack's pictures as they came out nicely and he had a different pose every time I took a picture of him. The picture above shows a long shot of Jack. This is my chosen picture and I have decided to use this as my front cover image. After choosing my final picture, I then went on to photoshop and cut Jack out from the background. I have chosen this picture of jack as I really liked the way he was holding that guitar and by having this prop gave me the opportunity to portray a rock symbol which is what my target audience expect. As well as this the clothes he is wearing and his hair also portray some sort of idea that he fits into the stereotype of people that listen to rock and indie. Usually on the front cover of a magazine, the artist is usually looking at the audience, however Jack is looking to his left thus making this magazine look different to other rock magazines. This picture also has very little editing done to it, making it look more natural.

Double Page Spread Image

As Jack was also the artist for my double page spread, I decided to used this image of him as I thought it looked very eye catching and it would attract my audience. 

Planning my Interview with Jack

After all the photos were taken, I then asked to meet up with Jack again and see if he would take part in an interview with me. He agreed to taking part in answering a few questions that I had come up with. So we met in Starbucks and I asked him a couple of questions which he then answered for me. Although it was not a real interview and the answers were made up, Jack gave some pretty good replies to my questions which I then used to put in my double page spread.
