Front Cover


Contents Page




Double Page Spread


Pictures taken to use for the magazine


I have chosen to use this photo as the image of the R&B artist, 'Leah Lopez' on my contents page. I have chosen to use this photo because I feel that it is suited to the genre of the magazine, I have dressed my model in the same outfit (puffer jacket with a fur hood and a thick gold chain with black ribbon), as she wore for the front cover. However I have used a different pose and shot (medium close up) for this one.

For this photo I have dressed my model up in appropriate clothing, in order to fit the genre of the magazine. I intended a sexy, yet glamorous image. To acieve this I have dressed her in a black lace top and blue shorts with gold buttons, i have also dressed her in red heels, I have chose thesse colours as they are all complimentary to each other in achieving the look of a female R&B artist. My ideas for the mise-en-scene stemed from previous observations I had made from other R&B artists.

I have chosen to use this photo as one of the images on my double page spread as it is suited to the shared personality of the R&B artist, 'Leah Lopez', as the title of the article is, 'Tears, Tantrums and Triumph'. This photo portray's her as a bit of a diva.

I have chosen to use this photo for the image on the front cover of my magazine. I chose this photo because, it is more suited to the front cover as the model is looking at the camera which can be seen as direct contact with the reader.
