The document discusses potential images to use for a contents page of a magazine. It considers several photos of a singer named Lottie, as well as photos of an indie band and a male artist. For the band image, the author feels the third photo works best, as both members are looking at the camera with attitude, portraying their serious musical style. For the male artist, the last image of Luke lying on the floor is preferred, as the concrete background gives it a rough edge fitting his rock music, and his intimidating gaze fits the stereotype of a rock artist.

1. CONTENTS PAGE IMAGES

2. LOTTIE’S IMAGE
This is the first possible image I could use of
Lottie for my contents page. I like how the door
can symbolise that she is opening a door to her
new recovered life. She looks happy and the hand
in her hair makes her looks like she’s getting ready
for this new life.
The problem with this photo is that Lottie isn’t
looking at the camera, there isn’t the gaze. Seeing
as though I have used the gaze on the front cover
and the article, I want Lottie to look a lot more
relaxed. I want the readers to be intrigued by the
image, although this image may not tell the write
story I’m trying to get through to the audience.

3. LOTTIE’S IMAGE
This image could also be used in the contents
page. I really like this photo because it has
Lottie’s guitar in the image, showing her
musical side. It proves to the reader that she
isn’t just a singer, she can also play
instruments. Also Lottie is smiling, looking
like she’s having a really good time at the
shoot. Therefore I think this is a really good
image to use.
The only thing is that there isn’t the gaze in
this image either, but I believe that the image
shows the audience that Lottie is a fun person
and it would help sell the story.

4. LOTTIE’S IMAGE
I could also use this image for my contents
page, as it is a bit different from the other
images I have used. I like the shadow on the
wall on this image, I believe it adds a really
good effect. Also this image has the gaze that
magazines normally use.
I feel that this image isn’t as strong as the
other pictures, it doesn’t tell a good enough
story about Lottie. Even though I believe it is
a nice image, it wouldn’t really work for my
contents page.

5. MY BAND IMAGE
I wanted to have an image of a band on my
contents page, therefore I decided to take a
picture of a male and female as an indie/rock
band.
I like the setting for this shoot, as it is different
from my pictures of Lottie. This image is quite
fierce, I really like how they are leaning against
the tree showing their relaxed side, also with
Josh’s leg against the tree. They look like an
actual band.
The problem with this image is that the light has
made Josh’s face a bit blurred and therefore you
can’t see it clearly.

6. MY BAND IMAGE
This image is similar to the previous one,
accept for the fact that I moved back so
that their feet were included in the image. I
really like Billie’s pose in this image with
her crossed legs, and they still look like a
band.
The light has been a problem again in
Josh’s face, but also I feel on a contents
page they may get a bit lost in the
background. They need to be closer to the
camera so that it catches the eye of the
reader.

7. MY BAND IMAGE
I feel this is the best image I took of Josh and
Billie and that it would really work as a
contents page. They are both looking into the
camera with attitude, I like this because it
could portray their type of music that they
make. I wanted it to be quite a serious image
of them to show that they are new to the
music industry and are trying to look
professional.
The light doesn’t shine in Josh’s face in this,
and their bright clothes really stand out in the
bland background.

8. MALE ARTIST
I wanted to have an image of a male artist in
my contents page because I used Lottie as a
main feature for my front cover and article. I
wanted him to look quite rocky.
This image is in a good location, the bush is
losing its leaves but the trees in the back are
still green. I felt this could represent that he’s
trying to reach his full potential in the music
industry and had to start from the bottom.
This image, with Luke’s hands in his pockets
shows his attitude, his costume also portrays
a rock star. I like the fact he looks quite
relaxed looking into the camera. I feel that
this image could be improved by it being a
close up.

9. MALE ARTIST
This image is quite wide, but I like
Luke’s stance. It is the same pose as
last time but the camera is tilted
slightly therefore is creates a more
interesting image. It has the same
effect as the last image.
The only thing with this image is that
the face is a bit blurry, and also it may
not fit into my contents page design
with it being wide. The location really
adds to the image though, but there
isn’t as much as a contrast with the
leaves in this image.

10. MALE ARTIST
I really like this image of Luke. In this
image, even though it looks like he is
standing by a wall, he is actually lying on
the floor. I really like the effect the
concrete floor makes to the image, it
gives it a slight rough edge and could
represent the music this artist makes.
Also, Luke’s eyes are quite intimidating
and I like that because it shows he is a
stereotypical rock artist, he has the gaze.
I believe that this image would work
really well on my contents page because
it puts attitude on the page.
