Music Magazine Cover Photo Shoot

These are the five photos I took for the front cover of the magazine! The photos are very similar as the model is wearing the same outfit which is a cream leather biker jacket. A white plain t-shirt and pale green jeans. The model has long blonde wavey hair. She does similar poses for each photo by kneeling down with her hands in her jacket pockets. Apart from one photo when her fingers are resting through the belt hoops on her jeans. The photos are mid shots as you can only see half of her body.

The first photo at the top of the page was actually the chosen photo for the magazines front cover! I chose that photo because the model has a slight smile to her face, therefore she does not look extremely serious for the magazine. After all it is a music magazine and no one wants to see serious faces! The photo also goes well with the mastheads and coverlines on the page. It's the perfect heigh for the main cover line to sit nicely infront. Also for other cover lines to be placed below and next to the photo.

 This is the chosen picture for the front cover. I made a few changes to make the back ground brighter than what it is to the left, a dull colour.

I worked in macromedia fireworks. I changed the contrast to 46. And the brightness to 32 to make the model stand out more than just having a plain dull background.

The front cover looks much better now than what it did before the change.

The picture below is what the result was of when I changed the contrast and brightness of the photo. As you can see the results are much better. And the model stands out more in the picture than what she did in the old picture.
