In order to improve my front cover I have taken different photos to use for my main image.

REJECTED PHOTOS:

















Here are some of the photos I rejected from being on the front cover of my magazine. I have rejected these photos for various reasons but mainly because it was either blurry or I didn't like the pose.

This is the photo I am going to use for my front cover. I feel this picture embodies the feature artist I wish to depict. Also I feel it connotes soul through the tribal patterned dressed I requested my model wear. There are inperfections with the photo such as the red in the bottom right-hand side corner that can be resolved in photoshop by either cropping the photo or colouring it in the same colour as the background with the paintbrush tool.

FRONT COVER:

This is the front cover of Smooth Magazine. All the changes that we decided as a group has been put in place such as removing the box from around the masthead and keeping the typography of the coverlines and main coverlines the same. I feel that this cover was better than my first attempt as this one is more orderly and immaculate than the last one which relates to my target audiences as this front cover has connotations of sophistication which is one characteristic of my target audience. Also, I feel the main image has more connotations of soul than the last one through the African tribal patterned dress has connotations of Soul Music due to the fact that Soul Music was created by African Americans. The last dress my model was wearing was purple and grey which has no relevance to Soul Music.
