To catch the eye of my target audience I had to choose a model who I knew would photograph well so I could get a good magazine cover. I also needed to portray my choosen focus subject which was art. I finally chose my final front cover picture after re-taking my pictures and going through a lot of indecisiveness.
Here are some pictures that made it close to the front cover:
I liked this picture because of the shadowing and the stern, strong look but it was not appropriate for the sort of magazine i was doing. This picture is also to dark looking to be for a student.
I nearly chose this picture because it clearly displays art, it is also well illuminated and has some shadowing. However, I did not choose this picture because it was to unfocused on the work she was doing.
Finally i chose this picture, it shows the model concentrating but is still a beautiful person. From all the rest of the photos this photo particularly stands out because it is well lit with both natural light and artificial light. Although this picture is not that highly focused on the artwork that is the comprimise because the model looks lovely and it is wel lit and positioned, the idea of art is still present though.
This was my final picture that went on my magazine's front cover after it had been photoshopped. I 'stamped' out the creases in the cloth behind the model and I smoothed out any blemishes she had on her skin. Although I was happy with my final decision, as I started to photoshop the top the model was wearing merged with the background so i will put some writing over her breast to iliminate that problem.
