Organisation of Costume

When taking pictures of my artists I wanted to ensure that they looked professional and actually looked like rap artists. To do this I researched different magazines and rap artists so that I would know how to dress my artists so they would look like rap / hip hop artists. My cover artist is wearing a snapback jeans and t shirt which is typical artists in this genre. My artist on my contents page is wearing jeans, a black shirt, a gold watch and dr dre headphones. This is so that he looks like a rap artists because things like gold watches and headphones are always normally associated with rap / hip hop artists.

Organisation of Location

The organisation of location for my actors was very minimal as all of my pictures that I use in my magazine have no background as I was able to remove it on photoshop, the reason I did this was because a lot of pictures in my research had no background and I thought that this looked professional. To ensure that I would be able to easily remove the background of any pictures I took I had my artists stand against a white background so it would be easier for me to highlight in photoshop and remove.

Organisation of Actors

The two actors that I have used in my magazine are both males and I have done this for a specific reason and not just because it was easier to use males than females. The reason I have used males in my magazine is due to my research, in my research of rap/ hip hop magazines the artists that I mainly noticed that were included in these magazines were males so I decided that I would also use mainly male actors so that I could make my magazine as realistic as possible. The name for my cover artist is Wyatt Rhymes and this is a created rap name which is what many rap/hip hop artists do, eg Busta Rhymes.

Pictures for magazine

Planned photoshoot

I have organised with my cover artist for a date to take pictures for my magazine, I have organised a location and a costume and I will take a number of pictures to ensure that I have a large amount to pick from so I can get the one that looks the most professional and highest quality.
