Main: Cover Page Drafts
Over the course of making my front cover I took my photos three times to get them right, having originally decided on using a female artist then changing my mind and using a male artist as EDM artists and DJ's are mainly male, the first time round I ended up with photos like the following:
but again while putting it together, for the front cover I noticed that there was clash in colours that I wanted to
Trying to use these photos was pretty difficult as they were all so similar to each other, clothe and pose wise, so shortly after beginning to make my front cover seen on
the right I decided that I needed to retake my photos. not only was it the photos that i decided to redo but the magazine name at the top I felt didn't really fit in or look to pleasing so after looking at some more magazine covers again I saw that they mainly had a logo that was placed in the top left corner, so this is the point that I decided that I would make a logo to put in the top corner.
To make things a little different I had my model wear two separate costumes in my second set of photos so there was a bigger variety of photos to use, they would be in one costume on the front cover and another on the two page spread,
use for the front cover, since the top he was wearing was orange and blue, there wasn't a large amount of colours that stood out on both of them
Finally for my final set of photos I decided to go back to my original idea of having a female model for my artist, this time instead of taking my photos as a JPEG i took them as a RAW so when i edited them the quality of the photos didn't deteriorate, using a female model allowed me to play around with make-up a lot more than a male did which allowed me to incorporate the 80's element that I wanted my artist to have:
With these photos I was able to get a very similar look to what I originally wanted:
