Model will be shot from sitting on various objects to create affect. Model will be shot first sitting on a large stone with hair blowing making direct eye contact. My model will be wearing pale clothing with smoky eye makeup for effect. The use of the hair being blown in the wind will create a more indie look to give my magazine a genre from just looking at the main image. Flower hair band to also convey this genre.	The main image will be a long shot angled so that the facial expressions of the model can be clearly seen. I will experiment all different shot types to see which one is the most effective. Vary the models distance from camera to ensure full length shots, mid shots and close ups.	I firstly will try and use natural light to see if it creates a more professional and naturalistic touch to the magazine. I will then use artificial light in order to make it look professional and allow for a photo shoot to look like its taking place.	I will firstly use a plain background so that the focus is directly on the main artist herself. This will also allow for the readers attention to not be distracted from the main model. By implying a plan and very naturalistic and plain background it will look more professional and will allow for the headlines and cover lines to be easily made out.	Once I have made my final decision on my main image, I will then start to create my front cover by placing different things in suitable positions on the front cover As I will have the main image taking up most of the page I will have it placed in the Middle. I will then have to plan out the size of the rest of the information  that needs included	Use photo shop to adjust anything on the photo that needs added or removed, e.g. blemishes etc. Crop out the parts of the image that aren’t needed. Ensure that my magazine has a professional approach to it. I will have to ensure this by making sure my editing is up to a good standard.
