Unedited Photographs for the Double Page Spread

These are the unedited pictures that I may choose to use for my double page spread within the magazine. I like the positioning of the first two photographs. The colours are quite bright, but then again, the contrast and the brightness can be altered to enhance this. The only problem, that I would have is that the floor is visible. As a solution, I would have to Photoshop the background to a single colour, and may have to use a slightly different shade for the floor to give a sense of shadowing. In the same way, I would be able to use the Photoshop program to create a background of a single colour. Thus making the image look more professional. As seen in many of the regular pop music magazines in the market today.

These images show a slightly better variation in terms of the positioning of the models or the angle that the photo was taken in. I will probably not use the 5th image . As it is a live action shot. This doesn't make it seem professional, and the general convention of pop magazines, are to have the 'celebrity' pose in front of the camera. Although, it can be used as a sub image.. In the same way, I will probably exclude the 6th image as well. This is due to the fact that the image has come out blurry, and the main image needs to be sharp.

The last image seems quite suitable for the DPS, however, I feel that the image may take too much space. In terms of the fact that it may take up 3/4 of the double page spread. Which subverts the general convention of pop magazines. In any case, if any of these images are not used as the main image for the double page spread. I would always have the chance to use them as sub images either on the front cover or the contents page.
