Original Images for the Front Cover

 I took a few vertical photos so that I had a choice incase I wished to change anything at the last minute.

I took this one when she wasn't completely ready because I wanted to see if I could use an image that wasn't staged.
Unfortunately, in this image, she was slightly over to the left and I wanted the artist to be the centre of the cover.

 Here is the second image. This was another one where I had tried to capture her when she wasn't trying to pose! I liked this one however, she was smiling and the genre that I wanted to try to stick to, which was Indie/Rock, I noticed that most magazine that I had researched such as Kerrang! that have similar genres to mine, the artists on the covers didn't smile and I wanted to have this also so that mine was conventional and suited the genre well.

I wasn't going to use this one because where the wall meets the floor, there was a line of red and I wanted the background to be one complete colour.
Also, I didn't like the way the image wasn't a mid shot because this meant passers by wouldn't be able to quickly look and see who the artist was on the cover.













In the end, I chose this photo. I thought it was the best out of all of my photos because it would be able to text as well as keeping the artist as the main feature of the cover.
I wanted a mid shot so that I could focus the readers on the artists face and clothing because she suited the genre.
The top of the photo left space for the title to be placed and I was able to edit the photo so that the artists features were more defined and I could make the colours stand out so that it would be more conventional portraying colours as the main source of attraction from the buyers.
