Before I took the pictures for the magazine cover firstly I researched

pictures of famous music rock bands. This helped me to see what I want the

boys to do for the photo shoot and what pictures I want to take.

Here are some of the pictures I took

I didn't use this one because the lightening isn't (it is too bright at the top). And also half of the body of the boy on the left side is cut, which has a negative impact on the image

This one is also a bit too bright, but it could be edited with Photoshop. However, this isn't the conception I am aiming for as the picture represents 3 friendly looking boys and I want them to appear more serious.

This is another good image. I like the lightening ( it isn't dark neither bright) and I also like the modelling. However I didn't use it because I don’t think is appropriate for a front page of a magazine.

After I took the pictures I chose few I could work on and consider their advantages and disadvantages.

At the end I chose to work on this image because

I used this picture for the cover of the magazine because the quality is good, it represents what I was aiming for (serious looking, proud guys) The lightening is good which made it easier for me to Photoshop. There is also a lot of space on the top where I can put the title of the magazine.
