1. His attire is a
typical outfit in
which many young
people wear. It is a
casual and laid
back outfit and
suits the chosen
genre.

These two images are for my front page. I don’t know which one to choose because they
both relate to the genre well. The image on the left is a medium shot which shows the
majority of his outfit. This is a successful image because the angle of gaze is at the consumer
which will draw in the target audience. On the other hand the image on the right is a close
up shot and the angle of gaze is not at the consumer. However this image is successful in the
sense that he looks cool for not looking in the camera.

2. High angle
shot
These are images that I want to incorporate on my
front cover. The images of the estate relate to my
genre because it represents the urban “street” life. This
is because most grime artists come from estates and
begin their musical journeys from there. The first
image is a high angle shot. The shot is appropriate to
my cover because it represents how the estate or
where the grime artists live dominate their decisions in
life. The other image below is a long shot of the
bottom of the estate. This gives the shot a bit of life
because it shows a moving vehicle and it shows the
design at the bottom of the estate.

3. These tools helped me crop out the picture. I had a bit
of difficulty understanding how to use the tools, but
after a bit of practice I learnt how to crop the image
correctly
I used the magic tool to erase the back ground of the image. This was to make it stand out
on the front cover. I then used the gradient tool to fade the image so it can blend nicely
with the image which is going to be placed behind.

4. I decided to change the look
of my front cover. I realised
that the image that I used
before wasn’t representative
enough for my chosen genre.
This is because I didn’t use
any props which give hints to
customers that it is a grime
magazine. I’ve used the same
high angled shot image of the
estate to fill my background.
I’ve also kept the same
masthead because I didn’t
feel that there was need for it
to change. I want the cover
to represent “typical English
weather” which is dull and
grey, so I filtered the image of
the estate for it to become a
grey colour.
