I really like this image. I feel that this looks like it would belong to a pop genre magazine due to the clothes she is wearing, her large gold necklace and he facial expressions. I feel this could work well on a contents page as this would go with my colour theme and it will also look effective with her arms outstretched. However this may be too similar to the main image on my front cover and I feel that this could look better on a double page spread as her frame is quite straight, and I would like it if the text fitted around her as, after looking at my format research, a few pop magazine style the text around the photo. Furthermore I feel that her lips may be too dark as they don’t look as colourful. I could edit these to make this stand out more.

This is my favourite image of the three. I love her facial expression as I feel that this suits the genre of the magazine. Furthermore her body language is perfect for the genre of my magazine.I really like how she has her hand brushing through her hair and how she is leaning to one side. He arms are raised up high creating a curved outline which the text on my page could fit around creating a more interesting layout and also will look more professional as it will look like an effective contents page. I have edited this image to make her lips much brighter so that she looks like she is part of a music magazine. I have also taken out the backgrounds so that this image looks moreprofessional. Here is the original image.

This is the final image that I am considering for my contents page. I have made this image black and white as I feel that this is quite effective. I think that the way she is standing is very effective as her body language suits the genre of music of my magazine. I like how she is holding her leather jacket and how she is leaning onto one leg. I like how she is smiling as this portrays her character which could interest the reader into reading about the article featured in the magazine. The text would be able to fit around her body frame which I like as this will go with my format research. I feel that the black and white image looks really effective as you can see all the contrasting colours in her jeans and also in her leather jacket and the studs. I am unsure though if this will suit my house style.The second image is in colour which would suit my colour theme more however I think doesn’t look as professional or clear.
