Magazine cover

I wanted our magazine cover to be different from our previous albums designs. The purpose of the magazine ad was meant to show off the artists and show them to be good and successful, like the music video is. For the design i wanted to show off the artist to the readers as a serious artist, which is why the  I chose to make the photo black and white. I believe this lets people see and know the artist without distraction form of other graphics. Also the monotone colour lets the viewer of the focus on the artists face making it more memorable.

The original image was a close up of the singers face(Jack). My plan was to cut out and leave half of his face showing. With only half of his face showing and to the side, this would leave room for text in the ad.

Leaving half of jacks face leaves alot of rooms for other information, but still allows for the artists face to be shown in a subtle non avassive manor.

The style we are using is similar to adele's album cover for her album "Rolling in the deep" . The features a black and white theme that is
