1. BAND IMAGE MANIPULATION
The image above is the main image that I used for my front cover of my finished media product.
The image is of the featured artist called Amelia Cranstoun.
As you can see my final image that I have use on my front cover is a lot different to the raw image
which I took. I changed the image in order to increase the quality of my image and to make it much
more eye catching. I felt that the raw image which I took was abit too dark considering most other
cover magazines have high key images. I felt it would also attract the attention of the readers if the
image on the front cover looked better. I increased the
brightness of my image as well as zooming and
cropping it. I also manipulated the image to remove
any spots or blemishes on my model.
Once I did this, I wanted to give the image more depth
to make it stand out more as it is my cover image.
to achieve this I increased the contrast of the image to emphasise its background shadows, etc…
increasing the contrast and brightness have my cover page image a more professional look and
made certain elements of the image stand out more, succh as the lips (which I also edited and made
them more red.i also increased the saturation and edited the hue slightly.
I like the way I made her lips more red as they stand out and now match my colourscheme.
As I cropped and resized the image to make it more suitable to be used on the cover, as you can see
from my images at the top of my page, my model was quite distant away from the camera.

2. In terms of other band and artist images In which I analysed I feel I drew most of my insperation
from this image of kesha, she is also on the cover of a vibe magazine which I looked at. This image is
similar to mine in the sense of the length of the body which is shown in the image, a similar pale
back ground has also been used, this occurs to keep the main focus on the actual models and artists
themselves. Kesha also sings a similar genre to what is in my magazine, as it’s a pop/RnB and has the
posibilty to also be an indie mag. Kesha is a pop singer. The costume shes wearing is very casual, as if
my models outfit,I think this is necessary in order to address my target audience correctly, my model
is fully clothed without her skin showing.
