The document discusses selecting photography for a music magazine. It reviews a series of photos that could be used in the magazine and how they would influence page design. The photos include simplistic portraits of artists, full body shots, varied color shots, black and white shots, crowd shots from festivals, shots of DJs with large crowds, and shots with dark colors to set a mysterious tone. The photos could be used for covers, contents pages, articles, or double page spreads and would influence where text is placed and what colors are used based on the photo's colors and subject. Many were likely taken by professional photographers for use in magazines or album covers.
