OK now back to the actual magazine mood board..

Right, I apologize to anyone reading this if the previous post sidetracked from what I was initially meant to be showing, but I felt it was worth the mention so.. I did.
Now, after quite a bit of research, I found it quite difficult to find a magazine that was dedicated to such genre's as this. Most likely since they're all quite underground genres of music, and over the years have begun becoming more mainstream and ever since I was introduced to this kind of music, I've been hooked. Now, the only magazine(s) I was able to find that were focused on such genres as Garage, Drum & Bass, Bassline etc. Was infact RWD (Rewind magazine), which luckily for me, I had a recent copy of. So by reading through it I came across a duo, who were well reknown for their works in this genre, None other than Chase & Status. Who had recieved recent mainstream success by working with R&B singer Rihanna on her album R-Rated, in which they produced a few tracks, and even helped with songwriting. But again, enough sidetracking.. heres the moodboard. Due to lack of artists of this genre on the covers of magazines, I was fortunate enough to have done the rap moodboard before, which will help me quite a lot when it comes down to it. As for this, it'd help me a bit when it comes to actually dressing up someone to pose for the front cover. So here it is:

Now i'd like to say from this, that I already knew there werent many magazines that involved these genres in more detail, but still, just by looking at how most of these artists were dressed, it was rather casual and not heavily based on designer clothing and to an extent rather ragtag and basic, compared to the colour co-ordinated guys on the covers of the rap magazines. Personally, I think since there isnt any magazine that focuses on these a lot, I suppose I have no template and no real standard to aim for when it comes to the front cover, but regardless just by looking at photos of the artists I'm sure I can simply step up to the task (for once) and reach a standard that i'm proud of and would atleast be following the example I'm using from the rap magazine covers, the BIGGEST difference between them? style of clothing. Simple as that, so it isnt all bad.
