Here are some other photos that I took before choosing the final ones. I tried to create a variety of looks and tried different poses to make the final look of the picture more effective.
Final Front Cover Image Do you think that the front cover image would be better in normal colour or black and white? 85% Black and white 15% Normal colour
This is a draft for my final product, after consulting with my focus group I decided to change the image and the image type so instead of a medium close up I am going to use a close up with the model looking directly at the camera to create a bond with the reader. Moreover for my contents page I am going to use one image instead of two, as my research shows that it is conventionally found on most contents pages.
Focus group questions-
Close up or medium close up for the front cover?
80%- close up 20%- Medium close up
One image or multiple on the contents page ?
70%- single image 30%- multiple images
For the front cover I also decided to change the font an layout of the text, whereas for the contents page I am going to add more text and insert the logo (L) at the back of the text.
