Image rationale reasons I used these pics

1. Reasons why I
used these
photographs

2. Main Image - Cover
I constructed the models to pose in a particular
way that reflects the correct genre of music
magazine.
The faces of the models are shown clearly, there
is a model of both gender which is important
when trying to attract a mixed gender audience.
Also the props used (headphones and a
baseball hat) in this image is appropriate as
well as the style of dressing. The fact that the
models are wearing black and dark colours and
jackets gives of the impression of an association
with the “hood” and an informal genre which is
Hip Hop and R&B. As a result of these reasons I
chose this image as the main cover image on the
front cover.

3. Contents and Double page images
This is a bright image of the models, it is clear and visually
interesting. It doesn’t contain too much light neither is it not enough.
I took a font of shot of the models staring into the camera, this is a
good show of the models as it clearly shows both their faces front
on.
I chose to use this image as I believe it mirrors the iconography of
Hip Hop and R&B. Big coats with goods up, headphones around the
neck and hand posed in the common way a Hip Hop and R&B artist
would pose.
I chose the images on the right to feature on the
contents and double page as they show both
characters clearly. The first image has a good sense
of light that makes the models appear brighter. The
way the models are posed is another reason why I
chose this image, this is an informal pose that
reflects the Hip Hop and R&B artists. This pose will
also entice the SoundWave reader as they’ll
probably be used to see this pose by artists.
