Cover Models

In usual female empowerment magazines, it is conventional to have one model that represents the magazine, so the person chosen would most likely have recognition. I think this is common in magazines that have to do with that specific person in a double-page spread, or many pages, that successfully creates a main issue or theme within the magazine. 

 

For my magazine, although not as common, I wanted to do a group picture for my cover page. Many magazines such as VOGUE, VANITY FAIR, and GLAMOUR use group pictures on occasion and I think it reads a better message of unity. I wanted to stray away from the usual one model cover page and do a group of women of a different color, which I think will successfully relay the message of female empowerment and diversity.

Inside models:

From what I've seen in double-page spreads, there is a mix of portrait and fashion/style models. I want to incorporate both types of model shoots for my spread. In general, I want my models to be diverse women in the age range between 16-21 years of age. I won't have auditions to recruit models since I already know people who have some experience in photography and modeling. A lot of my female friends are women of color which is perfect for my theme and I'm really excited for them to display their personality. I am going for a modern look with exceptions of some grunge, boho, and maybe an elegant look; my friend Alejandro advised I use a range of looks to incorporate the diversity aspect of the magazine.
