When taking the photographs for my magazine I wanted to ensure that the models were in keeping with the magazine itself. I felt that it was extremely important that the consumers would be able to relate to the images shown throughout the magazine. As I mentioned previously many magazines in current circulation feature 'perfect models' as my target audience are of the younger generation and are therefore more impressionable. I believe it is vital to show them the reality of how people look, rather than mislead them. So when choosing my models I looked at who may be a potential reader of 'BAND' was this way the consumers would be able to automatically connect with the models shown in the magazine. I have chosen two female models even though my magazine is unisex I believe that this will be suitable as the female models will attract male consumers and the female consumers can relate to the models.
