To experiment what type of background and setting we would want our magazine covers to have. We did this by going around school and taking pictures, but obviously being in school we were limited. I tried to find as many as original pictures as possible because one of the things that came back from my questionnaire was that they expected the indie genre to be unique and not follow the crowd.
I like the image to the left because it has a 'free' and 'airy' feel. When I think of the stereotype indie I imagine it outside and generally natural and carefree. I like the bike in the picture because it also symbolises that they are going somewhere. This also represents to the genre indie as every day it becomes more and more popular. 
I also like the image to the right. I love the sky with the clouds in the background, symbolising freeness and nature with the grass also in the image. But also by having the fencing and railings in the picture and having it at a low angle gives in a almost superior feel, as though to be taken seriously.
I love the blue sky and definitely think I will include this if not on my cover definitely somewhere in my magazine. I like the old, battered affect from the broken basketball hoop because I think it gives the photo personality and a story.
