CHOOSING A SUITABLE MODEL    

After deciding on the naem for our mast head, we started to think about the models we were going to have in our magzine to be on our front cover, contents page and on the double-paged spreads of our R&B music magazine. for our front cover page, we knew that the image of the model needed to be of a medium shot therefore we were inspired by how Chris Brown posed and was modelling on the front cover page of the magazine and we wanted our male model to pose similar to how the R&B artsist was modelling which is shown in the image of the "VIBE" music magazine below. The model that we decided to choose was a male model who is twenty and we wanted him to model i a similar way as the above artist on the frint cover page of the music magazine.

  

 As you can see, the model shown on the left hand side of the page, is an example of the actual image that will be used as the main image on the front cover of the music magazine. the fact that the image is a medium shot shows that this model will take up most of the space on the front cover page of the music magazine but the model will be wearing clothes which are not dark so that he stands out from ther background of the image which we are thinking about about taking the picture of the model in front of a brick wall so that they stand out and the focus is on them. The model will be modelling by looking directly at the camer and the audience and his hands will be in his pocket and he will be showing attitude through his casual wear whcih will have some "swag" and he will also be showing attitude through his facial expressions. In addition, his head will be slightly tilted and his cap will be loose on his head to ssymbolise how he is breaking rules the same way that R&B breaks the rules and the generic conventions of R&B music.  moreover, the head of the model will hide some of the mast head but the reader and audience will still know what type of magazine it is and the brand.
