These are some of the images I have taken for the use of my magazine. All photo's have been edited on photoshop (process can be seen in future post). I really like the outcome of my photos and feel they fit in with the genre and audience of my magazine. During the process of planning and taking the images I have really thought about the codes and conventions of pop music magazines which I researched previously. I think my images fit into the codes and conventions of the stereotypical pop music magazine, however have some differences which I believe will act as a USP and therefore be beneficial to the success/popularity of my magazine. The images have been edited to make them look clearer/brighter and more professional/suitable for the young audience to be attracted to. I chose the model to be fairly young herself to make the magazine look more 'pop music' convincing; older people are not seen on magazines for young girls. I have used a wide variety of poses: direct address, winking, smiling and also some comedic poses. This is done to make the images look more engaging and youthful. I have also experimented with shot types: mid shots, close ups and long shots which, again, looks more engaging and interesting.
