The image above is of a YouTuber named Jenn Im who is a fashion inspiration to many teenage girls subscribed to her channel. I loved this photograph of her as it encaptured the feel that I wanted to portray in my main cover image for my music magazine. Her grungy style, combined with the mid shot, displaying her clothes, down to her expression and editing is perfect for the indie genre and what I wanted to try and replicate. From my research in to the layout, shot type ect used on most NME and Q magazines, I saw that the main cover images are mainly mid shots of the main featured band/artist and so this inspired me to do the same to allow a more realistic and professional, relatable cover.
Above is a really early issue of NME that I managed to buy from Ebay. I chose this edition to buy as I loved the editing of the main cover image and the style of clothing that looks to be like 80's grunge. This issue also gave me ideas for the props in my photo shoot such as the sunglasses, which I thought really added mystery and individual style to the photograph. The tones and colours in the photo seem to be yellow and slightly cross processed, which is what I will try to replicate on my own cover image.
