There was already a slight edit on the iPhone camera called 'Instant'. This made the colour focus in on the artist and the instrument because they were wearing black and the background was also black.
I didn't choose to have this one as my contents page background because I thought it was too dark and the reader wouldn't be able to see the artist very clearly.

The second photo I took was of the drummer of the band. I used a similar effect on the camera to take this photo called 'Chrome', which gave a red tint to anything that was of a brown/red colour.
However, I didn't end up using this photo as I thought it looked more Indie style than Rock and I needed the contents page to portray the Rock genre of the magazine as I was already using the front cover and the double page spread for the Indie part.


I finally chose this one as the photo I would use because I thought it showed the 'Rock' genre very well. This is because the instruments are noticeable and the layout doesn't look perfectly placed, which is what I wanted to be able to show a 'Rock' genre.
The edit that I took this photo with was 'Transfer' and I liked this photo because I knew readers would be able to see who the artists are because the shot was a mid close up and also had another artist from the band in the background and this conveyed that it wasn't just a solo artist giving the reader more of an insight into who it was.
I liked how the black background merged with the black clothing that they were wearing because this meant that the artists faces and instruments were more prominent and would be the only visible part when behind text on the contents page.
