The photo I decided to use for my main image on the front cover of my magazine was this one...
On its own it looks pretty plain and apart from the graffiti in the background and the clothing it doesn't have much reference to the grime genre, so I thought it might be effective to add an effect to the image to make it more 'grimey'...
The filter effect use in this photo is known as 'Fresco', after going through virtually every filter on Photoshop CS4 I finally decided on this one, as you can see it slightly darkens the image and gives it an almost dirt-like texture to it, this I believe makes the image look more urban which relates really well to the grime genre.
