This lesson

I have learned how to choose a good front cover image.

5 rules of taking a good cover image

• Rule 1 - no cluttered background
• Rule 2 - make sure you focus on the lead singer so the viewers know who the band are - If it is a single artist make sure it is a medium shot/close up
• Rule 3 - leave room for masthead without cutting off heads
• Rule 4 - no high angle shots - they make bad cover images! Fine for double page spreads but bad for covers
• Rule 5 - Animate your band. make sure they look at the camera
