What do you need to think about to create an effective main image for your music magazine cover?

* composition
* colour scheme- mise en scene
* costume/props
* setting- interior or exterior?
* target audience
* Who?- model availability
* theme
* genre
* background
* lighting- natural light
* camera angle
* position of models- pose
* hair and make-up
* number of models
* shot distance
* time
* representation- gender, age, music style, etc.
* is the background going to be removed?
* the models usually represent the audience
* the masthead- how is it going to fit on the page
* take at least 5 shots and have variety
* think about real artists- receate shots
