Editing front cover!

The photo I originally started with was very similar to this one

As you can see the colour of this is dull and lacks brightness. I felt this looked unprofessional and would not attract a reader to looking at the magazine.

   This is what my actual picture looked like after being contrasted and lightened. This gave it a brighter look made it look a nicer day and made it stand out from all other photos.

 This is my final magazine front cover, I got rid of the bits that weren't needed as I wanted the picture to look simple so that you can focus on the musician. I rubbed out the table and it is impossible to see that there was ever a table there due to the fact that it had already been edited lighter. I also got rid of the hanger above his head as it look unprofessional and once again over complicated the photo as it was meant to be simple.
