Cover Ideas for Magazine

With the audiences ideas for the questionnaire and what I personally think would be best, I have decided to choose a red, black and white colour scheme for my magazine. This is a typical colour scheme for this type of magazine so I'm very confident that this colour scheme will bring out the genre also. Colours like yellow and pink I would not have deemed appropraite for such a genre of music and would not think would attract my specific target audience of men aged 16-45.

In terms of clothing, I feel my cover star will have a very modest but inviting look. I say this because I don't intend my cover star to wear flashy and shiny clothing but flashy and shiny accesories. I would preferably see my cover star wearing a plain black t-shirt with a gold chain to show the wealth but also as chains are quite popular and worn by a lot of participants in the industry. I feel plain coloured clothing, like the emotion of the cover model, will not reveal anything. The model is to also keep a serious face not revealing signs of emotion and connoting the idea of seriousness and individuality. I feel plain coloured clothing also does this, especially the colour black.

A chain like this would be preferred for my model however any gold looking chain would be appropriate. I wouldn't want the model to look too flashy or 'over the top' as I feel that would take away the purpose of the magazine as its not about the clothing but the music. I also don't feel it efficient for the model as it gives off the impression that the only benefit of this industry is for the wealth, money and riches which is not a good message for the younger readers.
I may decide to give the model multiple chains but this depends on how I feel this looks when the pictures are being taken.



Hats are a typical accessory also when it comes to magazines or even artists of this genre. Especially snapbacks. This particular snapback of the 'New York Yankees' is worn by a lot of people in the industry and I feel this will give a recognisable and identifiable image if my model was to wear this. This also gives a more cooler outlook of the model especially with the gold chain. As mentioned before, I feel the accessories worn with clothing will outbring the genre more than the clothing itself.
