I chose to emulate Time magazine because the magazine content matched best with what I wanted to do - a political magazine. Time magazine has had many political covers in the past. I specifically recreated Time magazine's cover of Trevor Noah, the host of The Daily Show. To emulate the magazine cover, I used the same font for the title and tried as best I could to match the side note font. I also used a similar background color and recreated the iconic red boarder. The set up of where everything is placed on the cover is identical to the Trevor Noah Time cover. I used the exact same font for the title to make the cover look as authentic as possible. I couldn't find the exact match of font for the side text, so I just used the font that closely resembled the Trevor Noah Cover font.
For the set up, I used a solid grey background. The subject stood in front of the background while they were illuminated with either light reflectors or a light wand. To take the pictures, we used a strobe light with a soft box attached to lessen the harsh light. A strobe light is a very bright flash of light that goes off when the photographer takes the photo. A modeling light is light that shows the photographer how harsh/ soft the light is on the subject.
