In these two drafts of my front cover, it shows the picture i finally ended up using. I chose this picture because it stands out more. This is because the wall covers nearly up to half of the page, leaving plenty of room for writing to be put. Also, because the wall is a light colour, it contrasts with the females (me) clothing. It also contrasts with the males trousers, and then the top half of him is white, which then contrasts with the dark top half of the picture. This gives a really good effect and makes both people stand out. I chose this place because, as well as the picture on the double page spread, it looks like a common place and isn't at some fancy high class place, which wouldn't give the impression that the band is saying that they're better than anyone else because they are famous, but shows that they are like everyone else. The writing on the right hand side of the page in the first picture, i changed position and colour. This is because there wasn't enough colour in the picture and having it in black font didn't make it stand out much. Also by moving it meant that i got to cover i big dark space in the picture and gave me more room for more writing.
For the female in the picture i brought two outfits with me. This is because i wanted to see which would work best. I decided that the black outfit was the better option because it contrasts with the wall better and looks more like a musical artist. I also had to have an outfit that was a bit more revealing because i had that in my plan and had good reasons why. And the black outfit was the more revealing outfit so i stuck with that one to be on the front cover.
I have both people posing this way because the male looks chilled out the way he is casually sitting on a wall and looks like he isn't worried about anything and is relaxed. This is good for the audience because they would look at him and wouldn't think bad of him, so wouldn't be put off buying the magazine. He is also wearing trendy clothes which people his age would want to wear, so by the audience being able to have something in common with this person, would appeal to them. The way I (the female) am posing in this picture, gives the impression that i am confident and would attract males to look at it. Also by the way i am holding the instrument, gives off a cool 'young' look. It also places the guitar in the middle of the page at the bottom. This works well because it is black and the wall is a light colour which is a good contrast, like the clothing, and it stands out even more because it is in a position where it is not at all hidden.
