Photoshoot Images and Images I didn't use for the front cover

These are the images that I took for my front cover (some I could use in the double page spread/contents page). It is a female model. I decided that the model should wear a black top because that is a colour that is associated with the genre rock; it is also associated with powerlessness, and as I stated in an earlier post I want the reader to feel that if they read the magazine then they can feel powerful by being associated with rock.

The make up is very simple yet effective, she is wearing simple foundation with thick black eyeliner and fake eyelashes to really bring out her eyes. But what I like about the make up is the lip design, it is very alternate and different; she has one half of her top lip covered and the opposite side on her bottom lip covered as well emphasised by the black outline.

This is one of my favorite images. There is a clear view of her facial expressions and her make up. She is also using direct mode of address, which is what I want.  I think that this is the image that I will use for my front cover.

This image is another one of my favorites. It is nearly the same as the top image but with just a little more facial expressions.

On this image I tried to get shallow depth of field; where her fingers would be ion focus and her face slightly out of focus. But obviously it didn't work.

I really like this picture. The model is showing direct mode of address involving the audience. I also like the headphones in this picture showing that the article is about music. Headphones are a piece of iconography of music. If I crop this image down and maybe put a filter on it I will use it for my double page spread. I wouldn't use this for my front cover because the model looks too far away, unlike the first image using quite a bigger medium close up.
