draft of contents page

What makes a good cover image?

5 rules

- No cluttered background
- Focus on the lead singer
- If it is a single artist make sure it is a medium shot- close up
- Leave room for a masthead (dont cut off heads!)
- No high angle shots
- Animate your band- make sure they look at the camera

1st)
-it looks unprofessional
-it’s a wide shot
-not close enough (long shot)

-too much space up above them
-low angle shot (don’t know who main singer is)
-busy background

-can’t fit a masthead on

4th)
