Music Magazine Cover

My Magazine cover

the reason i have used red as a primary colour on my magazine cover is that the colour red is s metaphor for seduction, danger and excitement.

          

for the image colour and style i have used a sin city sort of theme to show a rebellious side to the magazine, this show that my magazine is more of a 'niche' magazine appealing to a more alternative music audience.

i have also used red in the eyes and lips to show danger and this shows more of a unique side to this magazine cover catching the audiences attention.

this is this image i used , i used this angle and shot type as i looks alternative compared to the average pop music. whereas metal / rock music magazines show more attitude in the photos as to show more of a realistic side to the artists and bands , making them more like your friend instead of someone who's too famous to even know you. this appeals to more down to earth people. this is why i decided to use this shot as i think it shows attitude aswell as a rock chick look and feel about it.
even though she isn't facing the audience they feel a connection as they can relate to her in the way she dresses or even the way she looks.
