Cover Page Design Draft

This is my cover page draft of the layout I want to have for my magazine. I want to have limited writing around the model and I wanted to have the artist's signature at the bottom of the page. I want the text to also wrap around the artist and possibly have the Slug being slightly covered by the main image of the artist as well. By doing this it will give the effect of confidence and dedication to fans of the artists.

Supporting Artist Photos (Jason Ripley)

I chose this photo for the featured image within the contents page. I manipulated this photo to black and white, I liked this photo as it reflected his bad-boy image and the smoke was reflected well within the light. I preferred this side shot of Jack(my model)  as it connotates that he isn't bothered about adressing his fans but just playing music and the joy of playing. The focal image of the artist istands out nicely against the blurred background but shows some detail. where as the other photos didn't have this photo light and quality.

Supporting Artist Photos (Jazmin Star)

I manipulated these two photos and the first photo had a focal point aimed at the artist herself so the background is slighty Blurred but still has emphasis due the the manipulation of colour and use of light. I decided to use the second manipulation for the supporting artist' photo as it reflected vibrancy yet focusing on the artist and outlines the break off from the blurred surroundings and the contrast of the clear image of the artist. Although I really liked the colour version of the photo it didn't create enough contrast and edge between the background and focal image of the artist.

Supporting Artist Photography: The Krugers

I chose this photo for the image shown in the contents page for the Kruger's. Because the expressions really captured the serious and mellowness of the band's image. I also loved the contrast and saturation of the background compared to the monotone colours of the clothing of the band. The contouring of light in the band's faces is very effect and compliments their skin tones. Where as the other photos didn't show this highlighting and contrasting effect.
