Is my final contents page easier to read and understand, and does it include the right conventions?

Photographs.

Photographs.

For my magazine cover and double-page spread, I took different photographs using the shots I had chosen to get the desired final image for each. In this post I will show these photographs, discussing why I had chosen them.





The first image I decided to use was of a group of my friends for a band picture, as I would be featuring one in my cover and double-page spread. I decided to capture them having fun, as that is what bands typically do. It did not need to be too formal as the subject was not, and it was for a music magazine, something which is stereotypically seen as 'laid back.' As there are lots of people in the picture, I decided to go for a wide shot rather than a medium close up or mid shot, as it was more appropriate to get everyone comfortablly in the photograph. I decided to use this picture for my magazine cover, as it is attractive, bold and big to capture the reader's attention upon first glance.







The second image that I chose was for my double-page spread, and was a medium close-up/mid shot. I decided to use this picture for my double-page spread, because I wanted to include an interview of the band in these pages, meaning the audience would need to know who was being interviewed. I thought that this image showed this clearly, as it was eye-catching and captured enough detail for the audience to recognise.
