I decided to have a photoshoot today and decided this is going to be the picture for my contents page. I wanted a band for my contents page as I believe it will look the most effective. One of the reasons I chose to put these two in the band is because they had the right clothing on to match my indie/pop magazine. I think this is very important as the wrong style could make my magazine look like it doesn't have a specific genre and could turn people off. I also chose these two for my contents page as I didn't want my magazine to be male dominanted. My front cover is all boys and I want my magazine to appeal to both genders, so I believe putting a girl in it will make the magazine more appealing to girls as well.
I wanted them to sit down with their arms resting on either side of the i-Pod speaker as I believe it made it look like music is the key part of the band, and the reason why they're together. Another reason I wanted them to sit down is because it gives the background more white space. I wanted white space in the background so I could put the writing on it without it clashing with the colours of the subtitles or taking away any attention from the picture. I wanted to shoot my picture here as I think it has a fantastic urban look to it which is excatly what my magazine stands for.
The picture above was edited in photoshop as I wanted to add some certain effects. I was worried that the picture of the band wasn't clear enough, so enhanced the picture a little bt so the colours were more visble and made the background around them black and white. I think this will look best as colours on a plain boring background will jump into eye contact a lot more easily. This will also help the text I will soon be adding onto it, as it will help the font and the colours seem bigger and bolder which will make the page a lot more attractive to look at.
