For the album cover and advert, I had a number of images to choose from. These, as well as the images I actually chose, were our top 5 images to use. I however, decided against these 3 photos.
This first photo is very similar to the image I used on the album cover. In the album cover image however, the artist has her head down, which links well to the theme of mystery we're trying to create with the masquerade mask and colour scheme. I preferred the expression on the other photo as this one looks a little depressing and doesn't create the mood I wanted to display.
I had very similar reasons for not choosing the second photo as although it is clear and would create a good composition for the album cover, i felt it didn't portray enough mystery which would make it harder to link all 3 pieces together. I also didn't like how the feet looked as if they were randomly placed behind her head. Although i would be able to cut them out, i felt the image i ended up choosing for my album cover would create a better effect.
For the 3rd picture the angle was different compared to typical pop album cover pictures that are usually used, which was why i was initially attracted to the picture. After considering the other images however, i decided that it wasn't clear enough who the artist was, and it was vitally important that the artist is seen clearly to promote her.
