1) Main flash- 'Spring Foward'-'celebrating spring with fresh techniques and stunning looks' 2) The image I will need to catch is a mid-shot, so you are able to see the clothing to a certain extent, but the hair is the main focus. And in terms of the models action, they will either be looking into the camera (direct address) or looking sideways, this is because I have seen that Modern Salon magazines have these two postures.

This magazine tends to revolve around one main idea. They use soft, but bold colours and the model isn't in a fixed position so my model can be flexible. What reinforces this idea further is the numerous cover lines at the front and occasionally some stats so makes it different from other magazines. 3) These are the different styles of Modern Salon magazines.  We can see how this magazine is already well established as the central model is blocking the masthead. Additionally, the title is a very sophisticated serif font and tall lettering  which attracts
