Magazine (Images, Model, Props, Location )

 

                                                        Images

For my images, I mainly focused on being closer to the model. I wanted this so that the readers of my magazien could feel like they were up, cloe and personal to him. For the 'smiling' image, I photo minupulated him so that it look more like the streets or grimey as smiling in my opinion seems like he isn't serious. My image on the front cover was taken from a distance so that I could get his hwhole body in to make him seem tall. I liked the way he slumped up against the wall to make him appear like he didnt care or as he is rebellious to the rules and regulations of school. My favourite image is the one on the bottom left. The way he is looking at the floor with a hat on to cover his face makes him look a if he is digusing his identity but the fact that he a slight grin on his face may be suggestive that he is teasing the readers. Again like the front, the image of hims laid back on chair shows taht he is rebellious to the rules of college. Like all the images, I chose to keep him wearing the hat as it the fits the grime/gangster lifestyle of his character.  

 Model

The model from my magazine was someone who could relate to the kind of person he was conveying. He regularly listened to Grime/Rap music and could easily show it.

Props

The first prop that I used was a wooly hat. This was probably the most effective as it somewhat made his character appear more mysterious and hard to understand. It was also used to reflect the kind of music my magazine was based around. The hat signified the Grime in the chracter as most rap artist wear wooly hats. Secondly I used a puffy black jacket. It was black and big to make the character appear more like a dominating figure. If he appeared more scary to the readers then it would appeal more them. The way he had it unzipped mad him seem comfortable and relaxed as if in his comfort area. If hw didnt look comfortable then it wouldn't appeal to the readers. Notice that my character was only wearing negative colours so that he could reflect Grime. Also, it is sggestive of his character. He is negative because of his lifestyle and because of his past.

Location.

The location was in a secluded part of a college area which relates to his character as he prefers to be away from the banter. It refelcts his omniscient personality. I also chose the location because it appears to be like the scary appearance of a dark alley.
