RECCE

When deciding where to take my photos, I thought that it would be best to have a plain background for my music magazine front cover. I had already decided the colour themes and style of the location prior to actually taking my photos.

I feel that the colour blue in particular is associated with both depth and stability as well as the stereotypical male perspective of hip-hop as a musical genre. If you look at my final front cover, you will see that I have used a similar brick-effect for the background, this is because I wanted the effect of the cover to be realistic. Also, many other hip hop music magazines such as XXI have used a similar theme, so I felt it would be highly appropriate.
