PRELIM TASK: Magazine Front Cover Photos

Potential Choices

1.                                                        2.                                                    3.

This image wasn't suitable               I didn't use this image as                  This image wasn't
for my front cover because               you can see a lot of shadows           suitable either as
it is quite dark due to bad                 on the wall because the                    there isn't enough 
lighting. I also think the                     lights weren't arranged                     space left at the 
chair she is sitting on adds               correctly, you can also see               top for a title, plus
too much bulk to the image.             the edge of a light.                            a light can be seen.

4.                                                       5.                                                     6.

 I didn't use this image for                 This image didn't make                     I quite liked this 
my front cover as I felt it                    the front page either as it                 photo but I felt that 
was too dark making it stand             was far too bright. The lights            it wasn't natural 
out less. Also she isn't                      all seem very white making              enough, also there
centred well.                                      overall photo hard to                        isn't enough space
                                                         look at.                                          at the top for a title.



Final Choice





I chose to use this image for my front cover for a few reasons. The first being that I think there is a nice, balanced lighting as it isn't too bright or too dark plus there are no visible shadows. Also, there is enough space left at the top of the image for a masthead of a fairly large but reasonable size. I think she looks very natural in the photo which is good because it won't look awkward or false. She is holding a red book as my colour scheme involves a lot of red and this will add to that as the rest of the red on the page can link back to the photo. In this image she is very centred so the magazine will be equally balanced and won't look misshapen.
