Photography for the front page - 

What normally consists on the front page of magazines are artists in a variety of different ways such as:

Dramatic poses - This focuses on the main man - ALEX TURNER

Unusual designs such as : this one that can also be used as a cover photo as well as a album photo.
 They can be adjusted in photo shop.


CLOSE UPS

MEDIUM SHOT
These type of shots are used for secondary leads.
 

There is also live shots and stage shots and also poster style shots. So I am going to show you some of these below. These type of shots show the artist not posing or wanting to create an impression its just them doing what they love and also the poster shots are to promote the album. So they have to make that great, and the arctic monkeys one below is!

This is the poster for the latest Arctic Monkeys tour with the strypes.










PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE CONTENTS PAGE

For the contents page you could use a variety of different shots such as mug shots with some editing.

This type of shot would be really good for a contents page but it is mainly used for double page spreads as it shows a varies of different looks and poses.


It looks really good and effective and people would be interested in seeing this. Even if edited so that only the head and part of the neck was showing.


Framing also would be useful to use onto a contents page as it is different and also unique.  Like the ones below. The contents would be able to work around the shape.




Close ups of clothing or instruments also work well with the contents page :
This is because people like to see stuff with vivid detail and like looking at things that they wouldn't normally look at like that. It also is just a different way of looking at something and generally looks nice and better with a special focus on it.

Using just what you did on the cover is also fine. Like more band and artist shots.



 Unusual designs can be used that represent the artists such as for ARCTIC MONKEY:

 These logos are for the different albums and people know that these are to do with the arctic monkeys and the first one is defiantly distinctive enough to not really realise to.
 They are used as album covers also. These can be changed around in photo shop.

 
PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD.
A shot series could be used this is a fun and exciting way to get readers to read the article.  Like this one below.




 What also could be used is a wide angle shot.

 Also a long and loosely framed shot would be effective.
