Prop Ideas

As my magazine is a music oriented magazine, based on the indie rock genre, why not have the subjects within my magazine using music and musical instruments as props. So, a subject within my magazine, might be pretending to use a guitar, a microphone, a keyboard, or a drum kit. They could also be holding a sample of indie rock music which is relevant to the articles written in the magazine. For example, if my magazine had an article on the Arctic Monkey's new album, AM, then one of my subjects could be holding that album or vinyl in the image. However the props don't necessarily have to be musical, it could be as simple as an umbrella or a camera. Often a magazine plugs a give-away or a competition of some kind, to which then the prize is used as a prop.
