Model Choices

Front Cover

I chose my main model because he has an appearance that's very stereotypical of my magazine's audience (indie, pop-rock, rock, metal etc). He is also someone that is available in the college on a regular basis so travelling for the photoshoot will not be a problem. My model is able to supply his own clothes, but I am going to guide him on the look I am trying to create.

I also used a model for two of my sell-lines, the first is a male that's stereotypical for the 'metal' genre, allowing my magazine to appeal to a wider range in terms of audience. The second is a model I chose for my sell-line has a two-tone fringe, which would appeal to the 'scene kid' tribe. She's also a female, which would draw in the female side of my audience as it makes my magazine seem like it caters to both genders. These two models are also available at college.

Contents Page

The main model at the bottom of my contents page was chosen because, like the model for my front cover, he has the type of appearance I want to portray in my magazine. He looks indie-rock and on trend, which fulfils my reader profile. He attends the college, which means travel isn't an issue.

Double Page Spread

The model in my double page spread is again, someone that stereotypically fits the genre of my magazine - rock. I chose him because he owns the clothes I would like him to wear and he is confident, allowing my photoshoot to be fluent and successful.
