Magazine research

Fader has become an increasingly popular magazine as it brings artists from social media who are deemed trending. In their conventions of a typical magazine, they have used the artist on the front cover of the page. He dominates the foreground. However, the mise end scene alters the mood that at first sight appears to be. We see Frank Ocean holding a bunch of flowers. In comparison to the environment around him looking unhygienic and unaturalistic, not following the typical conventions of a concrete warehouse. This highlights the artists ideology of going against the stereotypical conventions of a magazine cover.
