 I am currently striving to create a music magazine front cover and double page spread that reflects the genre of hip-hop and pop which is aimed at the higher end of the target age so around the ages of 16-18. My magazine is called hip-pop which reflects both genres quite obviously. My dominant image has my model looking toward her left as in reference to connotations, looking to your right is seen as looking back at the past and therefore my model is looking toward the future.

Location and setting I might make my location outside and natural as it would have the sun on he

This I asked so any age outlier that do
