5 Rules !

1) No Cluttered Backgrounds
2) Focus on lead singer if it is a band shot
If its a single artist make sure that it is a medium close up
3) Leave room for a matshead
4) No high angle shots
5) Animate your band - make sure they look at the camera

hahahaha

more pictures !

The 2 pictures with 3 people in would be appropriate for a main cover images as there is no cluttered backgrounds and is jus a brick wall however the rest of them have cluttered backgrounds and would not be appropriate for a front cover image.

The attention is on the centre person and clearly shows that they are the lead singer.

There is enough room on all of these photos for a masthead.

None of the photos have high angle shots and all of the people are looking at the camara.

Pictures !

All of these pictures would be good for a front cover image.

The backgrounds are not cluttered. there jus brick walls or one which is a window.

They are all medium close ups on a single person which makes it ideal for a front cover image.

There is room above all of them in which i would be able to put a matshead on.

There are no high angle shots.

Finally, on all of these shots the person is looking at the camara
