Music Magazine Front Cover Photos and Editing

 

Music Magazine Front Cover

 

 Image:

 

After researching music magazine front covers, and finding some examples, I found a few things that majority of music magazines have in common.

I found that most music magazines have one large image on the front cover of the artist/musican that is being featured in the magazine. The photo is usually a close up of the artist's face or a mid shot. This is the type of image that I will use on my music magazine front cover.

 

 The name of the musican/artist that is photographed is usually printed onto the front cover of the magazine in a large, bold font.






I also found that, as these three examples show, most music magazines have plain, often white, background so that the focus is completley on the featured artist.

 

Editing:

I could use programmes such as photoshop or fireworks to edit the photos that I take, and want to use on/in my magazine to make it look better, or to make it fit on the page better. I could then use either of these programmes to create the actual magazine later on by putting the edited images onto a background of my choice and adding text.

 Also, these programmes allow you to edit out parts of the image that you may not want- for example, tatooes.








These two images show the same image before (picture with the tatoo) and the same image after (picture without the tatoo) I edited it.
