For the cover I wanted a simple image of the model looking at the camera, but it a different environment to that of the DPS. This time I the model wore mostly black, which is fitting of the genre. I also had him wear glasses just for style, but in this photograph, they're reflecting too much light.
I had experimented with different poses that I could exploit during the construction of the cover, and I found this one important, as the model is pointing with his index finger.
Things could be arranged around this image to make his gesture seem more significant.
An attempt at a slightly longer shot. This was useful as it showed me what I don't want in the magazine. I feel that closer shots are more fitting for this type of magazine.
However, this long shots can work, as there was a long shot of Dave Grohl in Q's contents page.
Experimenting with the model, taking a few photographs in which he isn't looking at the camera.
During construction I could possibly make it seem like he is looking at text, but I don't think this is a suitable cover photo.
Here I tried to change to another location that looked more natural, just for variation to avoid putting too many similar images in the magazine.
This image is similar to the previous one, but with slight changes. This close-up at a slightly low angle was taken for the main image of the contents page, as the reader can't see the model's eyes so it wouldn't be suitable for the cover.
