As our magazines are indie/rock I found a group of three boys and one girl with an indie look. I used the media studio as a setting, and tried a variety of different poses with the group to achieve a suitable look for a magazine cover.
I also took individual pictures of members of the band, which I planned to use on my double page spread, in addition to a group photo.
I found the media studio worked well as a setting as it provided a white background, which meant there were no distractions behind the band once the picture was used on the front cover, as well as having suitable lighting.
I took many pictures, which meant I had a lot of choice when choosing a suitable picture for my front cover, as well as having a range of pictures to choose from when designing my contents page and front cover.
