Reconnaissance Research

For my images, I have decided to use a plain white background. This is because it is a

convention for pop magazines to use plain backgrounds. I have also chosen it so the

audience will not be distracted by the background, and can focus on my main artist. The

images will be taken in a classroom which is a professional area where I will get good quality

images. Many pop magazines also use plain coloured backgrounds, instead of just plain

white. An example of this is the 4th June We Love Pop issue, where the background is plain

yellow. This keeps the focus on the artist, but allows the magazine to look more interesting and confirm its brand identity.
