POSSIBLE LOCATIONS
Here are some possible locations I could use for the background of my shoot. All of my chosen locations help to portray the indie genre of the magazine in one way, therefore it will make it easy for the reader to tell the genre. In addition, my target audience may be able to relate with a few of the images or be intrigued to visit them.
My personal favourite location would either be using a tapestry, plain colour wall or a field. I believe the tapestry will highlight the genre and make it very easily recognisable. As most magazine front covers take place at a studio I think a plain background would be the most professional option. Finally, I think the field would be a good way to portray the artist natural beauty and the outside lighting would be good to work with, however may be hard due to it being winter.
Camden town is a very popular place where my target audience tend to enjoying hangout at, therefore it will relate to the genre and be recognisable.
The brick wall of the underground could be a nice background for my artists to stand out against. It will also help my target audience feel like they can connect to the artist due to the use of public transport.
Brick Lane is covered in street art which could look like an excellent backdrop for my artist to stand out against.
Tapestry's are quite a popular purchase and I believe that quite a large amount of my target audience will own one. As it is quite iconic it will help show the genre of the artist.
The natural lighting and beautiful scenery of a field will help my artist radiate a more natural essence
Similar to the field, the nature of a forest would look very eye catching whilst not being too over the top, as well as portraying the artists natural beauty.
Pastel or monochrome colours are very popular within the indie fandom so to provide a simple effect I could use just a plain colour wall. This would also make the image look more professional, like a studio photo shoot.
Due to the grand architecture in London, a simple alleyway could provide enough simplicity for my indie magazine yet at the same time add something different and make it more vintage-looking.
