3. Main Image
The convention of a main image on the cover of a magazine is of great importance, the photography and the technology behind it make a big impact, and is very affective if done correctly. A main image can vary from each article using different angles and shot sizes to create different messages/moods.
If the aim is to focus on a certain artist/celebrity a close up is popular to give them attention and importance, but when using band members together it is popular to use a longer shot to show the whole band equally which was my aim for my photography.
I have slightly gone against popular convention by using software to edit the colouring of my photography dramatically, where as most photography is simply structured and colouring is only slightly edited. My photography also has an open, real and colourful setting backdrop, when it is common practise for magazines to use a shooting studio with green screens etc. I did this to stand out and be unique as much as possible.
