6 main rules of taking pictures
1. No cluttered backgrounds e.g (Against a plain background)
2. Make sure you focus on the lead singer if it is a band shot so the audience know who they are.
3. If it is a single artist make sure it is a medium shot- close up eg ( 3/4 image may be good, not centred.
4. Leave room for a masthead (Dont cut off the heads)
5. no high angle shots- they make bad cover images! fine for double page spread but really poor on covers.
6. Animate your ban- make sure that they look at the camera.
