Generally when we’re looking for an image to use on the cover, we’re looking for either white backgrounds or backgrounds with great props...something that showcases the finished piece. Cover images are always chosen by the editorial team. If you can’t get a good white background on your images, it’s not a problem as we can edit for you. Cover images also tend to go with one of the themes we’re using inside the magazine, or with our color scheme for that month. Cover images are difficult to find as we need a “portrait” shot, rather than a ”landscape” shot as most images tend to be. Because of this it’s useful to have the white background option.
