For my front cover, I will use a medium closeup. I would like one similar to this as it is simple, yet the makeup, and outfit is bold. The image consists of 2 main colours, Navy and red. This will set the colour palette for the rest of the magazine. I will do this with my front cover image and incorporate the clothing colours with my colour palette. I like the angle of this image also, because it is unusual.
This particular image, is more natural and less posed. I would use an image like this for my contents page. I will use more than one picture on my contents page, to break up the text. This image would go well with the one of Adele (above) as it also includes the colour red, fitting with the colour palette The background colour could be easily changed to navy too. This image features a low angle shot. I like the way this image comes across and i feel the angle makes Taylor Swift look powerful.
The image above is very simple and perfect for a double page spread, it is and eye-level shot showing the model as they would be seen in real life to the naked eye. For my double page spread, I will use one main image like the one above, or one like the one to the right. The image to the right shows a wide shot with a slight low angle view. Most double page spread articles which include the same artist as the one on the front cover, usually keep the same colour palette used in on the front cover image. Double page spread images tend to take up a whole page, usually the page on the right hand side. The article to go with the image goes on the left hand side.
This image shows the music side of things, yet is more posed, I could use an image similar to this as a contents or double page spread image. This is a long shot, it shows the model's whole body, this would be a good image for a double page spread or contents page. My contents page should feature 2-3 images. However, I may challenge codes and conventions by using only one main image.
