Stages of Production

Images:

These are the two images i considered using on my front cover
I decided to have a black and white colour scheme so that's why my models are wearing black and white dresses. I did plan to take a few pictures with these models, who are my cousins. But they are big fans of going out every weekend so i thought that would be a good opportunity to take some pictures whilst they were dressed up rather than getting them all dressed up just to have to take all their make up of again. These images were taken at Gill's house before they were going on a night on the town. They had a few drinks which made them more relaxed when taking the shots.

This one i like because it looks like they are dancing and they are about to laugh which is natural. The black and white dresses i think is good because they look similar. The cons are that the background isn't so good, i thought that i had taken it behind a white background but ended up having a bit of a picture in it and also the radiator.

This one is very natural and relaxed. I like the position of the picture within the white background, however i think there could have been more room around the image, there isn't really enough space to fit the masthead above their heads. Also the image is very dark.






I decided to use the first one on my front cover, although the girl on the left has her hand covering a little of her face i still think that it works because i don't like when images are airbrushed and really perfect on a magazine, i think it looks so much better when it is natural. Because of the radiator and the picture in the background i decided to photo shop the background because i did try to take the picture again but it wasn't as natural so i decided to keep this one.

I think that it looks really good with the white background and will look even better when i start to create my front cover. I decided to use these girls because they are pretty and young and i think they fit the image of a music artist.
