Mise-en-scene of my Model and Photos

This is concerning the the design and arrangement of my magazine front cover and contents page. When preparing all the designs for my make up and clothing for my model, I had to take into serious consideration all aspects of what type of magazine I'm trying to create.
When practicing the make up on my model I decided to keep the face of my model very pale and very dark grungy eyes as I knew I'd be editing my photos into black and white. This added the effect of contrast to my photographs and added to the grungy feel of the front cover. Also I believe the messy, unkempt and not brushed hair gives off a image of carelessness which may be seen as attractive to the audience of CLASH.
I applied red lipstick onto my model which in my opinion signifies a vivid and intriguing character but also adds a sense of 'sex appeal' which may attract more of a male audience.





The clothing choice of my model was decided by researching various different looks and soon realised I had all the costume needed to take my photos.

The ripped black baggy jumper signifies a dark grudge look that we are trying to portray. Also the big over sized dirty jacket signifies that the model doesn't mind what she looks like, and doesn't over think fashion. This may come across on the type of audience that reads CLASH as I would say stereotypically they wouldn't be fashion orientated.
The chosen setting for my primary photographs that I took I decided upon because it was a very typical setting in a village with streetlights surrounded and nothing but a bench. I wanted my photos to consist of my model drinking and smoking while playing a guitar on her own at nighttime. This seemed like the perfect location. Makes the music shown in CLASH to be very unique and simple.
