For my magazine front cover I have two types of photos i want to take. The first, I want to create a really edgy, rocky feel but instead of a fun, bright cover like Kerrang! (my inspiration), I want to focus more on the darker side of rock. I want it to be more of a sophisticated rock magazine, quite sinister and serious. I am also incredibly sure that I want my model/models to be a girl/girls. This is because I am trying to make my audience more feminine based because most rock magazines focus on men and I want to be different. The second is the fun side, the 'tongue out' side to rock! It would be bright, very colourful, and would look incredibly fun, uplifting and energetic!
I think this is a good photo because it relates to the genre. By doing research into 'scene girls' I have found that I definitely want my model to have bright coloured hair and very heavy eye makeup. This photo would look better on a plain background i feel, which is helping me to decide on what kind of background I want (I will probably go for a plain background). I also like the dress sense and the overall look. This would be a more fun look, but still quite sophisticated because of her expression. 
This look is interesting because its fun, bright and quirky however there is a more serious feel to it. i think it relates to the genre as the style 'scene' I have been researching strongly relates to rock music, they re seen to be 'emo' and it links together well. Her hair is a perfect example of what i would like my models to be like, and the lolly pop is a unique edge
to the photograph.
I love this photo, I can imagine it as the cover of a magazine and I think it is a beautiful example! It is so realistic to the style I want for my model, the hair and makeup is beautiful. This is more of a serious, sophisticated photo so it would suit my first idea better although the hair makes it bright.
I like the positioning and the styling of this girl, the lilac hair is really pretty and reflects the kind of styling I want for my model. Although she is not following connotations and looking directly at the camera, the way she is looking is interesting and shows mystery. She does look like the kind of girl you could put on the front of a rock magazine because she supports the 'scene' look related too rock. 
I am also thinking about adding a rock inspired instrument (like an electric guitar) to the photo because instrumentation is such a huge part of rock music and would be pretty cool to show it off on the cover. These three photos all show classic rock artists showing off their instruments, immediately giving it a 'rocky' feel and clearly showing what the genre is.
