Front cover - Cover Image

On VIBE magazine there is allways a full page photo of a Muscain or few muscian, who are allways the main feature of the magazine. In my magazine i have followed this code and convention by photographying my mate, Dion and using him as the main featured artist in the magazine, Named Dee. Theese are the images I have taken to be on the front cover, I will only use one of these image for it though.

 I have choosen this image for my title page image. I think this Image is good for this as "Dee" is looking staright at the veiwer and pointing as if to say, You buy me. This is the edited version of the picture that willl be placed on the front cover.

I have editted this image by first adjusting the lighting levels and then just converting it to black and white. I then placed the image on the front cover and rubbed out the background of the image, so i only had my subject left. When photographying this image i put the focus of the camera on the face rather than the hand, even know its in the foreground. I did this because even though he is pointing at you as to say buy this magazine, the face and the eyes espically, is more important because you can still make out the hand it's self, but his face is the main vocal point, other wise custmors would not be able to work out who it is.
