Cover Images Research

In order to plan my own cover image, I have researched some other magazine covers of the same style. The magazine cover examples have researched are Kerrang! Rocksound and Q.

I plan to use my friends band, with 5 members.

Here of some examples of cover photos that may influence my photos:

Each of these covers are well suited to the amount of band members I will be using for my shoot. Each magazine has a different camera angle, lighting, position of the band members, clothing, make-up.

For my cover photo, I will need minimal to no make-up as all of the band members are male. I have a few ideas as to how I will position them all and what style of clothing they will be wearing. As of right now, I am still unsure on the background of the image and things like lighting and photoshopping. All will be sorted out in the next few weeks and I will plan for us to all get together and I will take a few shots here and there with my camera.
