Cover 2 selection

Danny Sutch

I chose this photo because as an overall photo it has a large contrast in colours of the mans clothing on his t-shirt and the, with the background. This makes it stand out from the others on the shelf, making the target audience more likely to buy it as a front cover that stands out more is more likely to be picked up more.

To add to this, the bright lighting is used to enhance these colours further. This then eliminates any chance of shadows if there is lighting from all sides of the man. However, what is not aesthetically pleasing about this photo is the lack of lighting coming from all angles. This creates a shadow underneath his right arm, which is not typical to a magazine front cover. The mans body language is relaxed, as it appears as if he is leaning against the wall. This makes the overall image appear quite laid back, which is what my cover lines for this particular issue are about. If I were to use this photo then the shadow on his right side would have to be photo shopped.
