Image Selection

Cover Page

This is the image I chose for my main cover image. The reason I chose this picture was because it has a musical vibe, as the model is positioned holding a guitar, it also is a very clear image as it was taken with a professional SLR camera, and taken against a black backdrop.

I chose this image to be a smaller image placed onto my cover page. I did this because this is an image of the artist I used for my double page spread, therefore it also relates to one of my cover-lines and also helps my magazine pages look as if they belong to the same publication.

Contents Page

I chose this image to use as a small image on my contents page. This is because it is the artist that my double page spread is based on which means that this image relates to one of my article headlines and that I could fill codes and conventions by adding the appropriate page number to the image.

This image was used on my contents page as an add on to the competition advertisement.

These two images were used on my contents page as they both relate to different feature articles included in my magazine.

DPS

I used this image for my double page spread. It is the only image I included on this page as it was dominate enough. I added the grey background on top of the image by creating a new layer then using a brush tool on Adobe Photoshop. This is the image I chose because it was the most professional looking image that I took and the mise en scene fitted best with my genre.
