Artist Profile

Originally, the band featuring on my front cover will be called The Panic!, however I have decided to change it to The Pan!c because I think it uses the exclamation mark in a unique way. The band will be on the front as well as being in smaller images on the contents and the double page spread will contain an interview with them about their debut album and their inspirations and idols.

The band will consist of four members; the lead singer will be female and the other 3 members will be male. I have chosen the lead singer to be female because I think it would be different compared to your stereotypical punk bands,so hopefully more people will be interested as they aren't familiar with a female 'front man'. I also think it would be easier because I'd be able to find clothing for the shoot far more quicker. I like for her to be wearing mainly black- which would include tights/ leggings, a jacket a t shirt. I'd also like the t shirt to be a famous punk bands, because then I could show my audience that the bands idols include classic punk bands and it could also be a big part of the double page spread.

For the three males of the band, I want to have their hair styled with quite a bit of 'volume' and maybe some sort of quiff- I definately don't want it flat. I want them to be all wearing black jeans because that is a classic look and very recognisable. For their top half I would like them to be wearing some form of a black or red t shirt and if possible a suitable looking jacket too.

I would the like band to pose in various poses with different facial expressions. I want their to be serious poses as well and happy expressions and looking as though they're having a 'fun time'. On the front cover I'm hoping to have a serious looking band because that is how punk bands are normally seen posing, so I'd like to stick with this. However,on the double page spread I'd like to have fun looking pictures to show the more playful side of the band- to show that there are two sides to them.

I have decided that I shall have the photos taken outside because I believe that I can show the bands behaviour better outside than if it were to be inside on a plain background. I think I'll be able to show more rebellion from the band because I can have more rebellious settings.
