First page DPS initial ideas

This is the main (edited) image I will use on the first page of my double page spread, I feel as though it is one of the most effective photographs I took. This is because the timing with the hair dryer is perfect and the fast shutter speed of my digital camera captures the shot so that the movement appears to be precise instead of blurred. I would have used it on my front cover if it weren't for the non direct eye contact. I increased the contrast, adjusted the levels and edited it to be black and white purely because these effects will give my DPS a slick, polished appearance.


 The next step was to choose a suitable typeface to present the artists name. I considered several but ended up picking the same fonts used on the front cover in the main cover line as I thought they worked  especially well. I planned to carry on the same colour scheme initially, although realised that it would begin to look tedious and that my DPS could act as an opportunity to experiment and branch out graphically.
