School Magazine Cover Photos

The main thing that I think goes into a magazine cover is the image, it's always in the centre of the publication and the first thing the eye lands on, so it's important to try and get it right. I took a few pictures of a sixth form girl at my school to use for my cover.

The image has to be a mid-shot and I have to allow room for the masthead and some coverlines so that they do not overlap the image too much. I initially like number 29, but I think that the angle is a little bit too high, and I think I'm going to rule out all the images where her legs are in the shot, which is the majority of them. I think that the one I am most likely to use is number 27.

I think this one is good because it leaves enough room for the masthead and the background, though in focus, is not too distracting.
