Prop List
Prop Reason why/Inspiration
Front Cover
An electric guitar
The electric guitar is very
conventional to rock magazines, as
it is an important element of rock
music. My inspiration came from
‘Kerrang!’ magazine, where front
covers with Green day for example,
had a man playing the guitar.
A shirt and a leather Jacket
This sort of outfit is conventional
for a rock musician. For example,
Metallica and Guns n roses. The
representation it holds are those of:
rebelliousness which may be
negative, but also confidence and
self-motivation, and perhaps talent,
which is also a good aspect.
Long hair style
The hairstyle should be somewhat
long, as it represents being wild and
active, and is very stereotypical to
rock n roll genre, so it can attract
audience’s attention. Singers such
as David Bowie and guitarists such
as Angus Young have inspired me.

2. Leather Boots / black shoes

The Leather boots represent the
model’s wild and bright personality,
stereotypical of rock n roll genre- but
also it would suit with the Leather
Jacket that I mentioned before, but I
also noticed that lots of bands
mentioned in Kerrang! Wear casual
shoes also.. My inspiration was the
band led Zeppelin and Avenged
Sevenfold.
A necklace / ear ring etc.
This prop would help to represent the
rebellious, wild/fast beat music
because this is the sort of music that
associates with skulls. It may also be
something of an upside down cross,
which represents satanic religion that
people could perhaps relate to- but
skulls are better in terms of
representation, in my opinion.
Equipment needed:
The equipment that will be used to
take pictures will be a high quality
camera with lenses, and a tripod for
steadiness. I would use the tripod for
shots in the photography studio, and
use the camera only for the shots
outside (DPS). (I can use both for the
contents page).
DPS Photo
*Same as the Front cover but
in a different location,
without the guitar.
The DPS Photo is going to be one
image of the model across the page,
but emphasized on the left hand side
of the page. As it is presented on the
image left hand side,

Editor Photos normally consists of
medium shots to close-up shots of the
editor’s face. The background
normally consists of white / grey
color, but sometimes it may be of a
room setting, and the editor may be
posing in such a way that represents
their character. OR in a suit to
represent respect of their profession.
It may give to the readers the
impression that this magazine is of a
high quality.
