Research Into Photograhs

Template Image

 

This magazine cover is ideally how I would like my front cover to look.  The colours work really well together, they blend in together, making the whole magazine cover look outstanding; making it draw in peoples attention.  There is minimal writing on the magazine cover which is good because it makes the picture stand out more and grab peoples attention which is ultimately the aim of the front cover; which is how I would like my front cover to be.  The picture stands out

 

 

This picture is an action shot, which is how I would like my magazine cover to be, it is a good quality picture with the floor colour matching the athletes top which draw attention.  It is focused on the athlete, the athlete jumping is the main attraction in this which is relatable to the template image above which is how I would like my front page to be; because it allows people to know the magazine is about sport, and the focus is purely on the athlete.

This image is also an action shot but there is no real focus to the image.  This is a bit boring because it is just someone swimming, there is no real focus to either the swimmer nor the pool, it is a bland picture.  It does show splash behind the head which is his feet kicking but it does not look right.  There needs to be more to the picture such as a couple of swimmers behind him or a blurred background to make the individual stand out more.

This image is again another action shot, but instead of individuals running it is three girls running as a group, however there is only the focus on one individual, the girl at the front.  The background is blurred behind the runners, to make it seem like they are running fast.  However, the two girls behind the main model have blurred features on them which does not make the picture a good image as it could be.

Specific Images - Football

This image is of something in which I am aiming for in my own pictures.  It is an action shot which looks decent for the front cover as it encourages readers to buy the magazine as it draws in their attention.  Although there is two people in this image and I will only have one person, I am aiming for a realistic shot of a footballer in action

This is another image that represents what I hope to take forward to my pictures.  It is an action shot of a younger boy, but again although there is more than one person in this image I will simply only have one model to focus everything on them.
