This is another image which I would potentially use on my magazine front cover. The shot is taken at a slight lower angle which may represent the status this particular artist has in the music industry. It may suggest that he is prestigious and well respected as the audience is seen to look up at him which brings connotations of authority. Aspects of the photo such as his tattoo being on show and the 'geek glasses' he is wearing are greatly indentified as fitting in with the 'indie' genre and may confirm to the audience that this is the type of magazine they are reading. Male members of the audience may have a similar sense of style and feel they belong to this magazine.
Again, I decided to put this image on a plain, white background in order to keep the focus on the actual artist and to make it appear clean cut and proffessional. I didn't decide to use this particular image as I feel it challenges the codes and conventions of a magazine a little too much, especially for the first issue of a magazine.
