Picture Plan

For my pictures I am going to use a young male as the rest of my magazine is aimed at a young male audience, and most magazines I looked at had young male artists on the front. The model in my picture will be dressed formally in a plain black suit and tie or a shirt and tie, to show sophistication. I have seen formally dressed artists in many other magazines (such as the issue of 'Vibe' with T.I).
The males hair will be spiked, a common haircut among modern people, showing my artist is just like everybody else, and enabling people to relate to him, however I will also render the image black and white to add a mysterious side. I may also use props such as sunglasses, to add the modern look and thus make it more appealing to a younger audience. These will also block out the artists eyes, making him look unreadable. The Sun glasses will be black, thick rimmed and have dark tints, as this is what I have seen on many magazines.
The location of my image in unimportant, as Hip-Hop magazines nearly all use a cut out image on a plain background. I will simply find a plain background to situate my pictures, this will enable me to cut out the image easier.
