Contact Sheet

Above is my contact sheet, with all the images I did and could have used in my media product. Image 1 was the image I used for my front cover with images 10, 12 and 8 all being considered as front covers as well, however I saw image 1 to be the most appealing due to the bright colour and conventional as it featured a guitar. Image 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all featured in the music feature article and image 7 was an image that didn't make the final product as I could not get a clear shot of the singer in the crowd. Image 8 was dropped too as I decided not to have a feature article about that band as I wanted the feature article to be more heavy and appealing to the rock and metal target audience. Images 13, 14, 15 and 16 weren't used in the magazine as I favoured The Darkness photos and felt I could do more with them to draw in an audience.
