I didn't think the first was appropriate for the double page spread because it was a close up and I would have preferred to have a mid shot photo. Also, there wasn't enough background colour to have as the background due to the photo being so close to the artist.
Moreover, when I looked at the second photo I found that by having the photo as vertical, there also wasn't enough space for the interview text so I couldn't use it. I thought it would have been better to have as a front cover instead although, the artist wasn't looking at the camera and that may have affected whether a passer by who doesn't usually buy this magazine but would because of the artist on the front would buy it because it may not be very clear who it is.
However, I did choose to use the last photo because it had the perfect amount of background space around the artist for most of the interview text to be placed. Also, the photo is a mid shot, which is what I needed because its not too close but far enough so that the artist doesn't take up the entire double page. This photo was perfect for my genre as well because the whole colour of the faded wall behind and the jumper that she was wearing fitted nicely to the style and theme of the magazine and with her hair not being perfectly placed, she suited the criteria of an Indie/Rock based music magazine.
