After a very long time of thinking and narrowing down pictures, I have found the image that is perfect for the front cover! When choosing the cover image, I had to bear in mind the generic conventions of a music magazine. Therefore, I knew that in my image, there had to be a set of headphones. I also knew that I wanted her to be looking directly into the camera, so that it would help grab the readers attention even more. Lastly, I knew for certain that I wanted the cover image to be a close up. Therefore, this helped me narrow down my choices even more. I originally chose one picture that I absolutely loved, so I uploaded it to Adobe Photoshop, however, when it came to fitting it to the dimensions, it didn't work. So, I had to keep trying with different pictures until I found one that looked and fitted perfectly.
This was the very first picture I chose, however, the dimensions didn't work.
Then I chose this one, however, when it came to fitting the masthead, it clashed with the "B" sign on the hat.
Then I chose this one, however, I wanted more of a close up.
So, finally, I chose this one because she was wearing headphone, looking directly into the camera, it was a close up and there was room for the masthead.
However, this picture was quite dark, so I had to play around with the levels of brightness on Photoshop, until I reached one that I was satisfied with.
Below you can see the image that I made brighter and used as my final cover image.
