Model for front cover

 I did my models make-up to make her look like an RnB artist 

I gave her dark eye shadow and lips because this make-up reflects RnB artists, dark and bold make-up 

Pictures taken 3

I didn't think any of the photos i'd previously taken were suitable to use for my front cover and none of them looked appropriate for my magazine so I decided to take some more, I chose a model I knew would take it seriously and suit the genre of my magazine, I did her hair and make-up to make her look more 'RnB' and made her stand in postions that represent the genre and fit with the magazine.

Front cover analysis

After finishing my front cover I decided there a lot of changes I need to make to improve it. First of all I am unhappy with my main image, I need someone who if more fitting to the R&B genre as well as getting them to pose better than in this picture. I don't know if I like the black and white picture. I like the font being black and red but depending on what main image I use I'm not sure if I will keep it black and white or not. I am also not sure whether I like my masthead font or not, again depending on what main image I use will depend on whether I will change my font to suit the image. I don't think my magazine really fits to the RnB genre, to improve this I think the best idea will be to follow an existing RnB magazine front cover closely, changing colors and features to suit my magazine.
