My artist for my front cover will be a female DJ, female DJ's aren't very well known so to help me find an image to mirror I found a website called Miami New Times. This has given me a list of the top ten best female DJ's and I will use them as my influence for my artist image.

Here is a link to the website: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2014/01/edm_best_female_djs.php?page=3

Not only have I used this website to research female icons, I have looked at some issues of the actual 'DJ' magazine as it obviously is a big hit with house/dance music which is my genre.

Here are two images presenting female DJ's:

The significance of both of these images is that they both make a direct mode of address with the reader. The colour scheme is bold and the font colour always has a major contrast with the background.  Both of the women look quite rebellious - the top magazine shows a woman who is slightly revealing of her body but in contradiction, the bottom magazine shows a woman who has her hood up, Both of them are wearing black which may be significant and something I could replicate.

It's important for me to recognise that there are no secondary images which is something I may not necessarily need on my magazine if this is the genre I am using. 

Each magazine uses the typical conventions of a music magazine and when drafting my own I will refer to these examples. 

I will take pictures of my artist in poses like these.
