I am aiming on making my magazine follow the rules and conventions of a music magazine, yet maybe breaking some rules to make my magazine different, and stand out from others.
An example of a magazine cover that breaks the rules is:
This is because, the photo on the front cover is a long-shot, when usually for the covers of magazines, a medium-shot is used. However, this photograph still works because it is connoting Lily Allen's 'wicked ways' by showing her stood next to two jaguars.
Other ways of breaking the conventions of a magazine cover, is to have the model in the photo not giving direct address or a photo that has not been shot in a studio.
To make my front cover unique, I am planning to shoot it in the studio (which is not breaking the rules) but have my models giving a non-direct address. This should make my front cover unique and hopefully give it an interesting effect to my magazine.
