Final Magazine - Photo Rationals

I worked with Lauren Mahan to collect and take my photos. We used Sarah Thoms as a model. I am using her for a country magazine and I have called her Natasha. I have used different images to Lauren because sarah is wearing different clothes and pulling different poses. Which will suit my magazine better.

Lauren used Sarah for her alterniatve music magazine. She was wearing different clothes and we made sure she was using different poses to make sure that she didn't look the same and that ourt magazines wouldn't look too similar.

I was stuck between what images I should use for my magazine. These were my choices.

I am going to use this picture on the front cover because I feel like it draws you into the magazine. The way she stares at you makes you feel like she is talking to you directly. I believe that this is a very good image for a country magazine. It also is very clear when printed as the image is the correct size for an A4 page. 

I am going to use this picture for the contents page for my magazine because I want it to feel like she is wanting to make you read more and read on about the article. Also she looks very mysterious as if she is hiding a secret. The position of her hands holding her hood makes you feel like she is teasing you and that you should read on to find out more. I didn't edit this photo because it was the perfect image size for my contents page. Its fits nicely in the right top side of the page.

I used two images 

I will use this final picture of her holding a guitar for my double page spread. It gives the reader the feel that she produces her own music and that she is very country style. It also shows that she is very dedicated in her work as she is staring down at her instrument.
