The main inspiration behind the choice of my front cover image and the pose that is shown by the model is this front cover of a Vogue magazine. Kate Moss is shown looking directly at the camera and because the image fills the page her body actually goes off the page, this is a convention that I have followed and an aspect that in my opinion will attract my target audience to my magazine, for the front cover image I believe it is important for it to take up the whole page even if going off the sides, it creates an interesting effect. Although this magazine front cover has given me ideas and I have followed conventions from it, I have also changed and challenged typical conventions of a fashion magazine as most front cover images are seen in colour, whereas my front cover image is in black & white. The black & white effect adds to the vintage theme and makes my image stand out a lot more, because this isn't seen so much in fashion magazines my magazine is quite unique meaning that it will stand out on shop shelves.
