Main Task: Unmanipulated Photos

This is my main image. I chose this image because its lighting effect is right and it strikes out to the audience. He has the image of an hip hop and r'n'b star, the glasses, jacket hood and microphone. He isn't smiling like many hip hop artist wouldn't do whilst taking pictures given them the serious boss look, making them look on top of the game.

This is my double page spread. I chose this because it has enough space for one side only for text and the image is clear and big. Also because this is the main star I will be addressing in this issue of my magazine. he has the ideal tools that relate to a music magazine and has th elook of a hip hop and r'n'b listener.

My Content Page Pictures

I chose this picture to be in my contents page because it is slightly blurred, i feel this will give an effect to the audience on by making them want to see more in detail with this image, beliving that they will turn to the page to see the star.

The denotation in this picture is Dr Dre, the famous rapper. He's kneeling down looking straight at the camera at eye level with a serious face. He's wearing a black leather jacket. This connotes that he is serious and not a guy to joke with especially with the leather jacket adding on a cool serious look, this makes the viewer thinks twice before un friending this guy.

Costume: In a black leather jacket, silver watch and black leather gloves. This connotes that he is a cool but dangerous guy judging by what he is wearing. This can also show that although he is famous, he may be involved in criminal activity.

Setting: There is no setting in this picture. This connotes that because there is no setting in this picture and because he is famous and a global superstar, he can be or is known everywhere, he doesn't have a one current location, he is all around. Also the background is white, this connotes that he likes to be alone or keep him self to hiself signaling no trust in others.

Lighting: The denotation of the lighting is around he's chest area, there is no light at all, it's like there is darkness in him. One side of his face has light whilst the other side is a bit dark too. This connotes that he has a dark and cold personality inside him but on the outside he's somewhat different. The lighting on his face can show that he is calm to start of with but get on the wrong side then its trouble.

NVC: He's non verbal communication shows him standing with one leg up being supported by something with he's back leaning forward. He's face is serious and straight too which gives an impression of he is not happy. This connotes that he is not to mess around with and is a serious looking guy, anyone that may trouble him may get hurt from the saying "the quieter the deadlier". As he looks quite but quiet big too, this phrase has a impact on what he's about.
