Mood Boards & Photo Planning

These are some images I find to make either good magazine front covers or double page spread illustrations. I think most of the images on the second mood board would be best for a double page spread.











In the above mood boards I don't feel that I have found images that relate to the genre of rock very well, despite the images being good for inspiration. I will still use them for ideas, but the images below I think show the genre of rock music well. They give ideas for potential costumes and makeup for the subjects of my future front cover, as well as showing the ideal quality of the photo and the type of shots I'm thinking of using, etc.




Below is my timetable for the photo shoot. I'm using my friends Phoebe and Helen as models, as they are my first preference due to their unique appearances. I also like the contrast between their hair colours, which will hopefully create some variety within my photos.
