Images to be used in magazine -

Front Page -

1.

Rationale -

I have decided to use this image as the main front cover image due to the fact firstly the lighting of the image is great with little shadow showing, also the background is plain, meaning that it is more contollable and I can change the colour of it more easily. The clothing of the model within the image makes it a very contrasting image which will stand out more effectively on the front page to draw the reader eye. The positioning of the model within the shot is another bonus of the image as it means the model can sit to the side of the text and such and not be completley engulfed.

Rationale -

I have decided upon this image as to potray an interview image, due to the closeness of the two models, potraying that aspect of an interview. The lighting of the image is quite high key on the models and nothing else making them the dominant focal points of the image as well as the models being centered within the shot emphasing their dominance.

Contents Page -

1.

Rationale -

I have chosen this image, due to the high key lighting, which is an important factor for this image while yet it projects the cool suave characteristic of my alternative genre. The positioning of the model within the shot is also a factor in my choice of the image, as it is obvious that she is the focal point of the image.

Rationale -

I am using this image for the competition within my contents page, due to the fact that it is low lighting so as to subtly cloak the focal point with some shadow, yet keep the statue clear to the reader's eyes with the figure dominating the shot, through the use of a long shot.

Double Page Spread -

1.

Rationale -

I have chosen this image for my double page spread due to that it is a potrait image, therefore able to take up one side of the double page spread. But I have also decided upon this image as it posses the dark, moody vide which could be seen in alternative rock; my genre, therefore effectively drawing the audience in. The model's positioning within the frame also makes them the dominant item within the shot making them the focal point.

Rationale -

This image is being used for the double page spread for a past photo due to the lighting which is very bright on the figures, something which suggest unprofessional photography and important to my article, as it is an image before the acts fame.
