Contents page image choices

Main contents page imageI chose this image to be the largest image, because I thought it represents death metal very well and its very different from my front page picture. The look for this artists is inspired from Brendon Urie from ‘panic! At the disco’, the hat is a signature accessory for him. The comical facial expression of the artist is used frequently in death metal to indicate that they are not in the right frame of mind. The knife indicates violence and suppressed anger which is a frequent theme in death metal.

“Editor speaks” imageI chose this image to represent the editor for my magazine because out of all the pictures I took I thought that this looked the most natural and appropriate for the section. What I noticed from other magazines is, the editors didn’t always look like the genre, for example, the editor for ‘Kerrange!’ didn’t look like they listened to rock music.

Bottom page imageI chose this image to be at the bottom of my contents page as a poster because the graveyard relates to a death metal band called ‘grave’ therefore I am able to advertise it as a poster. I chose this particular image because of the gothic headstones and church, as the windows are from the gothic architecture era. Graveyards are often used in death metal because death and the afterlife is an extremely prominent theme in the genre.
