What you need to think about to create an effective main image for the music magazine

Here is a list of what I believe is needed to create a successful main image for my music magazine front cover:

• Get the lightning correct
• Size of image
• How many people will be in the photo
• Position where models will stand
• Background
• Location
• Props
• Composition
• Camera angle
• Shot distance
• Time of shoot
• Colour scheme
• Hair
• Make up
• Genre of magazine
• Representation gender,age, style etc
• Setting, interior or exterior
• costumes are more important than props
• At least five photos
