My front cover image!

After taking 100 photo's to choose from to include in my music magazine I finally decided what image to use as my front cover! I thought this image would be a good one to use as I think it looks really professional due to the model looking right into the camera with there eyes!
I also like the model's look as I think it has a great impact to the genre of my magazine - Fashion and the indie look by wearing a black unique dress with a gold chain.
I also think the model's eyes and skin colour is unique and grabs the readers attention straight away! I think when looking at this image all you want to do is look at the eyes - and I think this makes my magazine very powerful!
Although I fell in love with this image I was not sure whether I wanted to include the background or not! The reason I did want to include it, was because I thought it would make my magazine look unique and the 'indie' type of magazine, as It would be set in a forest where you can imagine singers or bands playing in a quiet setting in the contry in the woods. The other side of me did not want to include the background as, as I have stated before I do not think a sucessful front cover on a magazine would include a background - as I think this just makes the magazine look weak!

After I had tried to put together my music front cover to my magazine I realised having a background to this image did not look so successful as I had feared! So I decided to go with a blank background which I think strengthened my image and made it a lot much effective! So I am very pleased with my results so far!

One of my ideas!

My final image for my front cover!
