MODEL

I have decided to use Emily Capon as the model in my magazine images. The target

audience for my magazine is middle aged women and possibly men , so therefore I have

decided to represent Adele because her music appeals to this audience as her music is

soulful, original and powerful. I have chosen Emily to represent this image because has thick

hair darker hair and therefore after preparation , she can portray a classical but modern

image alike what I was aiming to mirror from the Adele image will be replicated here. Using

female instead of a male in my images I can attract both a male and female audience

because a female audience can be inspired by Adele's casual and more modest appearance

and not be threatened by a woman positioned in a bikini for example. Also a male audience

would be attracted to be this because they would find these images appealing because they

can familiarise Adele and her talent because of how she is in front of a piano with a clear

shot of her face, therefore they can recognise her fame and apply this to want to read on .

COSTUME & MAKE UP

In my front cover photograph my model will be wearing a black skater dress with sheer mesh

along the arms and on the upper chest to represent the modesty and classical look presented

by Adele. On my contents page I will have my model wearing lacy sleeved skater dress which

will continue this classical look. On the double page spread my model will be wearing a

sparkled pattern body con dress to give a more occasional look and to represent her

preforming on a recognised stage to an audience . She will be wearing false eyelashes to

extend the length and emphasise the eyes in close up and medium shots along with smoky

shadow, and a thin cat eye effect from eyeliner .The lips will be a nude colour, this will draw

attention to the hair and eyes. The hair will be loosely curled and given volume by hairspray at

the roots, and finished with salt spray to add texture and a messy look for my front cover. The

same look will continue on one of the images inside, however on one of the images I intend on

using straighter hair in a loose ponytail falling on one side.

IMAGES I WILL FOLLOW

FRONT COVER

After further research I found this

image of Adele. I preferred this to the

original image I found because it gives

more of a musical connotation, with the

open piano in front of her and his

image will fit the music magazine

conventions. So therefore unlike in my

initial ideas I decided to changed the

idea of having her hands near to her

face and go more in the direction of

this shot.

CONTENTS PAGE

This is the image I plan on

following for my contents page.

This will continue the mis en scene

of Adele's connection the music

industry but also her classical and

traditional approach to her music

by using a vintage styled

microphone and laced dress (also

giving a vintage connotation).

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

These are the images I decided to include on my double page

spread.

The first image represents Adele’s success in the music

industry and her confidence to perform in front of an audience

by her raised hands. Also her sparkled dress would give the

connotation of her performing somewhere sophisticated and

therefore in formal wear, which the audience can infer as her

successful career.

The second image is much more relaxed and is a close up of

Adele's face, showing no indexical signs of her musical career.

This shows how my magazine is up-close and away from her

professional life , therefore making the audience more likely to

engage into the magazine.
