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.

Using Camera Angles

Today, I took photos using the three camera angles from the syllabus. These consist of a high angle, low angle, and canted angle. 1) High angle This high angle conveys the idea that the subject has less power than I do. 2) Low angle This low angle conveys the idea that the subject is powerful or holds more power than I do. 3) Canted angle This canted angle suggests that the subject is disoriented.
