Cover development.

When taking pictures of my model I had to be careful to whether the pictures I have taken would manage to fit in appropriately with contemporary magazine structures yet still be able to explicitly show the rawness of french new wave. When dressing my model I made sure that it would mirror french new wave fashion sufficiently. She is wearing a cordial hat, her hair is straight and in a long bob, she's got a casual/smart jacket on and a stripey long top on. The stripey top is a typical stereotype of French fashion and portrays to the audience therefore that she is French. She has got skinny cut of legging/jeans on which many people wore in the 60's and would make the audience perceive her as fashion conscious. The iconography in the picture is a cigarette, in the 1960's french films the cigarette is the key item and gives the model a sense of 'casual cool'.

In this picture the model is looking at the camera in order to keep the target audience close for them to feel 'personal' with the magazine. The iconography used in the picture reflects appropriately to the time my trailer will be set. If I plan to use this as my front cover I may choose to brighten or contrast this picture however I fear it may look too modern if that is done. The model is sat on a corduroy sofa with the backing of a plain wall.

These two photos the model is not looking at the camera and engaging her audience. Although I find these picture endearing I don't think I shall be using them for any of my ancillary texts.

I do find both of these photos most compelling, although the model is not looking at the camera she looks studious and interesting, something that would allure the reader into wanting to know more about her.

Both of these photos the model is engaging with the camera. I think this will arouse the audience more so into wanting to read an article on her because it almost gives the impression that she knows they are there and she is letting them into her world.
