Drafting and Planning: My Chosen Front Cover Image

I have decided that this is the image I shall use for my magazine. This image does not contain direct address which I am pleased with as I don't want my main cover star to be the sort of band that is packed with attitude and are posers, I want the band and it's identity to be about the music, and I feel that this image shows that effectively. I may crop out the red sofa that can be seen. I feel the props of the instruments also help show that the band is about the music, because if I had the band looking at the camera and more of a close up shot I don't think the identity of the band would be as I want it. In my main cover line I think I will use say something the band being backstage as that would fit well with the image.
