5 Rules of taking a successful cover image.

1. No cluttered backgrounds.

2. Make sure the focus is on the lead singer if it's a band shot so that the audience know who they are.

If it is a single artist make sure it is a medium shot - close up. A three quarter image may be good not centred.

3. Leave room for masthead and dont cut off peoples bodyparts from the pic.

4. No high angle shots - They make bad cover images, although good for double page spread.

5. Animate your band, make sure they look at the camera.
