Planning for Production: Location Ideas for Images

From my research I have found out that most pop music magazines use very professional, clean cut images which usually involve little to no background image at all.The image background is usually  white or a block simplistic colour this is effective and connotes fresh-fullness and professionalism. However, for the smaller images that I will use in my front cover and contents page, promoting smaller stories under the cover-lines are normally less professional, with a more busier background and more action shots.

For example:
1) I will use a background like a white wall so it connotes professionalism and as clean cut as possible. Like the background in this one directions image;

2) And the other background I will use will be a more busier background. Images like these would be of celebs who didn't know the photo would have been taken therefore this suggests that the images cover-line will be gossip which is what my target audience loves. This background connotes a realistic image. Like the background in this photo of Cheryl Cole of the car and grass.

The mix of the two types of locations will make my magazine seem effective and stand out from the others. The use of both location makes my magazine connotes professionalism. As my research showed me there are many pop magazines for younger girls but seeming as my target audience is for older teens I need to make sure my magazine looks grown up. The use of two locations makes my magazine seem grown up and professional therefore would be a successful popular pop music magazine.
