Test shots

For this stage of my magazine making process. I took images of my model for my front cover. I made sure my model done various poses but all making sure her angle of gaze was straight at the reader. I made sure my model was staring directly into the camera to show Raine Love's Intimidating side as on my front cover the plug is that she's 'in a league of her own'. I also made sure she was wearing a black bomber jacket and a black cap to show her sense of hip hop style and culture.Her outfit which also consists of the grey T-shirt underneath her jacket and her necklace are to show that she is a very chilled out character. Raine Love's mise en scene is to show that she fresh into the music industry and that she's still a typical south London teenager following the trends of hip hop relaxed fashion. Her mise en scene can also show that she's a down to earth artist and wants to let reader get to know her better.

With the image I have chosen for my front cover I intend to use Photoshop to enhance the image as well as removing dark circles from under her eyes, darkening her lip colour as well as removing any blemishes. Raine love tried to do the pose i had originally had in my mind for my front cover with her finger on her lips but after taking the images i noticed that the pose didn't show off the genre of music i am making mu magazine for. The image i have chosen reflects my genre better than the image I had envisioned
