Mock up pictures analysis

The pictures on the previous blog post were supposed to be the pictures I was going to use for my actual music magazine. The reason they are not is because they are wearing the wrong clothing, so that makes my job on photoshop twice as hard and complicated.

I think the pictures themselves are very good. I like the angles, the lighting and the poses from the four boys. They would make the magazine look like it is related to its genre (rap). In the last picture I got Lewis to hold a microphone. I was then going to use photoshop to change it into a baseball bat. This is were I thought the job would be a lot easier for me if he was just holding a baseball bat to save me editing it.

Finally the clothing is all wrong. I tried to make them fit into the rap genre by scruffing up their clothes and giving them jackets. The last picture is ok because he is not wearing a shirt and you can hardly see his pants. I am going to have to bring some clothes in for the classmates to wear that will suit my genre more.

When you look at this image on the left, straight away you think of rap. This is the image I need to try and relate to. I need them to wear hoods, caps, vests and hoods. Also they could wear a chain and wear baggy pants.
