The document discusses three potential ideas for the central image on the front cover of a musician magazine. The first idea is a close-up shot of a musician's face to draw attention to striking facial features. The second idea is a low-angle shot of two musicians with confident expressions to portray them as powerful figures. The third idea is a high-angle group shot of musicians holding instruments to resemble a concert crowd and suggest they are ready to perform.

2. IDEA 1
I have a few ideas about the central image I will have on my front cover.
My first idea is to use a close up of my “musician’s” face. This format is
usually used to emphasise a musician’s facial features such as striking
eyes or applied make up. The striking eyes would cause the magazine
cover to attract readers as the eyes become the focal point of the cover.
This format is also used to highlight emotions and radiate them to the
reader.
I will use a close up shot if I can find a model with an attractive face,
with striking features which I could intensify through Photoshop. This
layout requires a an attractive face as it is the first image the reader will
see, if it unattractive or bland the reader would just walk past.

3. IDEA 2
The second idea is to use a low-angle mid shot of two musicians. The
musicians would have confident expressions. The use of a low angle
will make them seem powerful to the readers and someone to look up
to. The confident expression combined with the angle and stance will
make them seem strong and self-assured; this would attract readers
who would be interested in how the became so confident in themselves
and why.
This type of shot though requires a complimentary colour scheme as a
contrasting colour could lessen the effectiveness of their pose. This
shot also obliges me to use an effective background to emphasise the
musicians and not let them blend into the background.

4. IDEA 3
My final idea involves a high angle group shot with the musicians holding
their instruments. This would create an effect reminiscent of a crowd at
a gig. This would also denote that the band performs tours and that
they are always ready to play music. The problem with this cover is that
due to the amount of people on the magazine, too much text can make
the cover look busy. The background would have to be simple as the
attention must be focused on the musicians.
