Final Music magazine front cover

The photos that i took for my front cover, contents page and double-page spread

This first photo is the same photo i decided to use for my front cover , The only problem was it was too far away so what i decided to do was zoom in and work on my front cover seeing a medium-close up as the background main image. I chose this as my front cover simply because it's the symbolises what i wanted this magazine to be. Serious and charismatic. The one on the left is wearing a new york knicks jersey and a hat that is been worn sideways and is putting on a certain face that makes him relaxed and doesn't have a care in the world, the reason I made him wear his jersey is because some people associate New York with Some Hip-Hop musicians This is also provided with the Hat he i swearing is a New York Yankee's hat, Being associated with the stereotype of hip-hop with New york and graffiti as you can see in the background of the picture.

I decided not to use this picture as it is to casual and not the style of my magazine, it doesn't really speak to the audience the way i wanted this magazine to be. By do this, The photo seemed a but tacky and un-imaginative looking a bit lazy. If i were to pic this photo this would be in my front cover.

If i were to use this picture in my magazine, I would have put it either on the contents page or i would have decided to put it on the Double-Page Spread. However I did not decide to choose this because it only features 2 of the people that i mention in my articles, I felt it being more comfortable if the band i was talking about had 3 members so i have a variety of things to talk about in my articles.

If I were to choose this picture to put in my magazine, I would either put this on my contents page or my double-page. However i chose not to put this picture in my magazine simply because it only has two people in the main image when i would like 3.

This picture was going to be in my contents page because it was similar to a contants page i saw from the NME. I didn't choose this however because it doesn't look profesional enough to be on a music magazine. In my music magazine i wanted to at least have a serious magazine.

This is the picture that i chose for my double-page spread, The reason i have chose this is because it is a professional picture and it had some space for articles and other things on the left side. Another reason why i chose this was because it was one of the best photos  have that was simply made for the double-page spread.

This picture was not considered to be in my magazine because you cannot see the main focus of the photo as a person is in the way. Making this not look professional 

All the photos that i took was what i chose to be an urban area that has a graffiti style background, I took these outside so i had no trouble with lighting, i gave them different costumes like hat and basketball shirt also adding hoodies and necklaces to give give them a certain image towards their style of music and my style of magazine.
