Development of cover image.


I eventually chose to use this photograph as it shows attitude, and highlights her rock-star status, however it also shows that she's quite laid back through her natural pose. The pose is conventional of other rock magazines as their cover stars also stand in natural poses. The artist is facing the camera and is therefore recogniseable and allows us to feel close on a personal level to the artist.

I have edited the lightning bolt on her face and made it look as if it is a richer more vibrant colour than in the previous photograph. I did this because it allows the stripe to draw more attention from the audience and makes it appear more noticeable.

I have changed the photograph into black and white as it is an unconventional method in a rock magazine and could possibly allow my cover to stand out from other magazines on a shelf.

I have turned the lips back into their original colour as I thought that the plain black and white image seemed quite boring and took away some of the attitude of the photograph.















I have made the contrast and brightness to this image higher as it has created an ediger look to the photograph and makes it seem like it belongs in a rock magazine. As well as this it makes the image brighter which will demand more attention from the audience. I have also turned the lightning stripe into its original colour as it makes it look more noticeable and shows that the stripe is the main focus of the DTP.
