Chosen Photos

By James Willis

The front cover This is the first image on my magazine and it is the main front cover picture. I chose this image due to it being sharp and also the link with music (the headphones). It also provided me with a large amount of black blank space around the edge of the main subject this was good I would have space around it to write cover lines and sell lines as well as the mast head above.

This is the second image on my front cover, it is a lot smaller than the main image but is used as a preview of the poster included in the magazine. I chose this as it stands out against the other images with the black back drop and also the lighting works well.

Contents page

I chose this image for the contents page as it leaves a lot to be interpreted as he is looking away so this could mean that you will have to read on to find out more. The black background again provided a space to write the main cover line. The way he is dressed in a hoodie with headphones also gives the magazine a DJ dance feel which gives the reader an idea into what the magazine is about and the genre.

Double page spread

I have chosen this for my double page spread as it fits with the other images on my pages so it can be easily recognised as the pages all going together. This way the reader can relate to the stories from the front cover and find it via the contents page. There is also a lot of black backdrop that could be used to colour the page like they do in Q magazine.
