To help me decide on possible feature images for my magazine I looked at other images used for music magazines to help me look at possible costumes, props I may need, locations and where the individual is placed in the picture.
From my questionnaire I interpreted that the genre used within my magazine should be either pop or indie and I would use the models clothing and location to help interpret this. The above images are of similar images of those I would like to take, each showing the model in a different location or position on the screen and I have used them to help me think of ideas for images within my magazine.
Costume ideas
Dress and biker boots to help look stylish yet indie
