I have learned to make my price and dateline less prominent on my cover.
Here are some photos that I thought were not effective enough to use on my magazine cover:
I didn't want to use the first one because my finger are not placed in a claw-like position, so there wasn't enough aggression in the photo.
The second photo is okay but there is too much space at the top, and you can see my radiator in it. My cover would have looked very unprofessional if my radiator could be seen, especially on a Rock-Genre magazine.
As I planned a Halloween edition of Rocksound, I wanted to use costume props. However, in the third image, I found that using more than one took too space up, and constricted my body positioning. Also, I am smiling in this last photo which would not go with the ethos of Rocksound magazine, as their cover stars usually look brooding or rowdy.
Looking back on the photoshoot I did for the Remake Remodel Task, I will try to find a plain white wall so that I can manipulate my colour scheme more. Having a purple wall restricted me to using red as you couldn't see many other colours very clearly. I will also take slightly less zoomed in pictures to allow for a more professional layout concerning secondary images and secondary stories and coverlines.
