Planning for my cover models costume/props

I decided that I wanted to take close up shots of my model's face for my magazine cover. I wanted to do this to display the confidence she embodies with her face rather than her body. I wanted my audience to be able to see the glow in her eyes, and the acceptance and love she has for herself. This would mean that there wouldn't be a full costume, instead, we'd focus on her hair and makeup. We will be using a pastel tapestry as the backdrop and ensuring that her makeup look compliments the background. Furthermore, we will be using a tripod LED ring light to take these pictures. I wanted to use this to properly capture her essence with the best lighting.

Conventions

Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below. •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience. •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine. •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre. •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic. •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.

First Thoughts on House Style

I believe that House Styles have contributed to making magazines organized, as well as attracting an audience. Magazines use House Styles so that they are able to attract their demographic. House Styles might be developed by grouping individuals and having them decide who they want to target, what they want to portray, and how they want their audience to feel. The genre of the magazine influences the House Style because they want to establish a different feel depending on their topic. Therefore, they might use contrasting color schemes, coverlines, and cover models if their magazine genre was gardening or business.
