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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
