Magazine Pictures – Front Cover Pictures This is the picture that I was going to use for my front

cover at first, however the picture didn’t match or follow the conventions of a typical magazine and also It didn’t match my exact criteria of what I wanted for my front cover as the headline was “East Meets West” so I wanted a picture that the reader could interpret and think that the picture is showing that both singers are coming together from different sides of the world.

This is the picture which I initially used for my front cover, the reason I chose to use this picture was because the picture is bold, also both people in the pictures have intense looks, the picture also represents that both of them are not in any kind of confrontation it signifies that both of them are actually standing together trying to break a barrier that is coming between them. They also show this by looking into the camera giving the connotation that they are both serious and quite determined.

Magazine Pictures – Magazine Pictures – Contents PageContents Page

This is the picture which at first I decided to use for my contents page, however after long time planning my contents page I decided that this picture wasn’t suitable for my contents page, the reason for this is because it doesn’t represent a typical contents page picture, what I mean by this is that in a contents page there is one large picture on the page which attracts the readers eye and also signifies the reason behind the picture.

After doing some planning I came to a decisions that I would use this picture, the reason I decided to use this picture was because firstly it shows what I am looking for, as it has one person in the picture, which will make the reader only see the musician in the picture which will help as the story on the contents will connect and represent this picture.
