I found that images in magazines are used as a creative process, to make the article or front cover more astetically pleasing; the images are not natural and the people in the photograph are arranged in a way that is pleasing to the eye however images in newspapers are used to demonstrate statistics or information or to give another interpretation of a certain article in the form of a photograph or in some cases a sketch or cartoon.
Types of Photography
Photographic work can be divided into dozens of categories, many with lots of sub-categories. The following list describes some common types of photography.
Aerial, From a plane, helicopter, balloon or other airborne device.
Adventure/Action, Adventure sports, daring feats, etc.
Animal/Pet, Pets and their relationships with humans. Note that the
human content is often as important as the animal.
Architecture, The art of making property appear attractive. Often
involves panoramic photography.
Artistic, Photography in which creative composition is the goal.
Aura, A controversial type of photography which some claim can
photograph a person's aura.
Black & White, Not simply photography without colour, black and white
photography explores shapes, tones and textures. Shadows
and highlights become much more important.
Camera Phone, "Convenience" photography using a mobile phone's built-in
camera. While not the best quality, camera phones have
opened a new world of spontaneous, on-the-spot photo
opportunities.
Commercial, Product shots, advertising, etc.
Documentary, Journalism, Events, Historical, Political, etc.
Event, Concerts, parties, festivals, weddings, etc.
Large Format, For use on posters, billboards, etc.
Kirlian, A type of contact print photography in which an object
touching a photographic plate is connected to a high
voltage source, creating an aura-like image. Often
confused with aura photography.
Macro, The art of photographing very small and/or close-up
objects.
Microscopic, Any technique for photographing objects too small to be
visible to humans.
Modeling, Photographing objects to be converted into 3D models.
Nature, Landscapes, animals, plants, sea, etc.
People, Candid, Family, Fashion, Glamour, Passports & Visas,
Portrait, Pregnancy, School, Sports, Weddings.
Pinhole, Uses the most basic type of camera possible — a box with a
tiny hole to let light in
Scenic, Landscape, Cityscape
Scientific, Any specialized photography used for scientific endeavour,
e.g. electron microscopy photographs, medical photography,
astrophotography, etc.
Sports, The specialized art of shooting people engaged in sports,
games and adventure activities.
Stock, Photographs taken for distribution to other people, for
use in their projects. These photos tend to be quite
generic, e.g. people working, landscapes, places, etc.
Time-lapse, Photographs with a very long exposure, used to illustrate
something happening over time. A popular example is a
street at night with car lights blurred into long lines.
Travel, Photography to showcase locations, illustrate travel
literature, etc.
Urban/Industrial, Emphasizing urban environments.

Photographs that i took for the newspaper,poster and website.
I used these first three images in a small printed interview asking these people what they thought of the gig and having their response printed below their image. I took this aspect of the newspaper from Kerrang! which often has a small section on a gig review that gives the views of other people who attended to gig. I think that this allows the reader to observe the views of different people other than the writer of the article.
I used these four images as identity images on the artist biography on the website to give the viewer an idea of who i was talking about.
And finally i used these two band photographs throughout each of the tasks; the newspaper, poster and website, this allowed me to have some sort of sonsistancy throughout each of the tasks linking them together.
