We evaluated magazine front covers and how the people were photographed:
Three
person front cover:
Stood even closer together.
The first has one person at the front and the other
two getting further away but so they are still in the shot.
Second has all three standing in a line but slightly
turned and very close together so they all fit into the shot.
Both Mid-shot
Colour scheme on both.
Direct mode of address.
Four/Five
Person front cover:
In both the people are very close together.
One person (maybe the main singer) is front and
central while the others are gathered around closely behind.
Colour scheme.
On the second one the front persons head slightly
covers the masthead but on the first one this is not the case.
Direct mode of address.
Two
People front cover:
These people are stood close together. (shoulder to
shoulder)
Their heads cover the masthead again.
They are the main focus, only one cover line.
Colours are simple and few.
Mid-shot again.
One
Person front cover:
The positioning of both people on the two magazines
are central.
The photos are both mid-shot.
Their heads are covering the mastheads so the
magazines must be well known.
They both have direct mode of address.
The colours are very simple.
Looking at these will help me when taking my own photos for my front cover as I know how people should be positioned and what they should look like to make a professional front cover.
