Monday 8th September

Today I looked on the internet and selected pictures which appealed to me as a front cover. I have chosen a few here and explained why I like them. I like the idea of using strong contrasting colours and cleverly using juxtaposing places. For example using open spaces and small isolated places to give a different feel/look. I have idea's in mind already for some photo shoots with the help of looking at the internet for inspiration for photo shoot ideas and different effective layouts.
Below are some photos which I have found on the Internet that I like and I have explained why.


I have chosen this one because I like the way all four band members are merged together unusually. By wearing black, it gives the picture more dept into the background as it brings out the background e.g the yellow line on the road stands out. I also like the way that the writing is parallel to the yellow line, I think this is a clever approach to the layout. I thought this is an interesting approach to the angle of the photo.


What I like about this photo is that it is simple, but effective. The band members stand out as they have all have contrasting coloured clothes on against a white background. I think these photos work really well because of the contrast making them automatically drawn to the eye. The casual postures give the photo a more relaxed look, but still gives a sense of a story and expression. I think this would work well as a front cover, but I would like a more appealing and complex surrounding.


I love this front page because I think it has a lot of expression. I like the way the photographer has used black and white because it creates a bold contrast between the black and white and the simple white background. The layout is very simple, but it emphasizes the faces and really makes them stand out. That's why I think it is very eye-catching and interesting to look at.


This is a photo of the band Coldplay. I am drawn to this photo because of the colours. There is a contrast between the colours of the band, all in black, compared to the blues and yellows of the field in the background. I like the way they are postured in such an open space. I think this could work really really well for a front cover.
