This picture would work quite well as a front cover image, but I feel as though the outfit doesn't fit the genre very well

The framing is wrong for a front page image.  

The model's face is a bit too obscured for a front page image, as the image needs to be clear enough for the audience to recognise the artist.  This was, the audience is more likely to buy the magazine if they instantly recognise an artist they like.

This image is too blurred therefore wouldn't work too well as a front page image for the reason stated above.

I like the affects that I achieved in these images, with the lighting and blur etc.  This style of image would be great for my double page spread, as there aren't actually a lot of set conventions for double page spreads, meaning that they can sometimes be very creative and are often very centralised around visuals.  Also, the blur in the image wouldn't be too problematic because 1) There are almost always more than one image of the artist on a double page spread, so one creative blurred image wouldn't affect the reader identifying the artist if there was a more clear image also in the article... 2) The artist's name is written on the article... 3) The audience has already bought the magazine due to being attracted to the magazine by the front page, therefore already knows what artist to expect.
