From carrying out research looking at exsisting magazines, I found that the main image is very important to the front cover of a magazine as this is what is used to draw the audiences attention. The image above is the one I chose to use on my final pop magazine cover; I thought it suit the genre very well and would attract the target audience as it is a young girl. Although this photo is good quality and a good angle I still made some adjustments which will be visible in my final piece. I changed the brightness and contrast of the photo to make it have a sharper and brighter effect and I also covered the gap in her hair using the clone tool.
