seeing files in viewport

Hi
ok, this may be an old hat question but please bare with me i`m a newbie with maya.........
i`m trying to set up a virtual studio scene so i can model a head using reference assigned to 2 planes, side and front views. now i`ve created 2 poly planes and then created new materials and imported a file(my reference) to the material so it shows up in the editor(material sample) and then assigned the material to the respective planes(dragged and dropped from hypershade) and then added both planes to a new layer - i was told this was a good idea.
my problem is that i can`t see my reference files in the viewports.....and try as i might i can`t get them to show.

please could you help me....
