sample photographs for magazine front cover

photograph 1- standing outside of the main entrance. This image is a mid-shot of a student outside of school. It enables you to see what she is wearing from head to knee. The files and her handbag completes the `student` look.

This second photograph is similar to the one above, but this shot is more of a close-up. This image allows the audience to see her facial expressions and her body language quite well.

This third photograph also taken outside the school building, which allows us to see the entracnce of the school backgroung behind her. However, the quality of this image isn't that good.



photograph 4



photograph 5- sitting down and leaning on the bench. This image shows the `relaxing` side of school. She looks stress free and seems to be loving college.

photgraph 6- sitting down reading a revision book



I have chosen to use photograph 1 and develop it further, for my magazine front cover as the image looks like what would appear on the front page. This image is also a midshot. I took this photograph and uploaded onto a programme called Picnik. This software allows you to edit images and gives them a professional look. I boosted the colours of the photograph which makes it look eye catching. I didn't want to play around and use the editiing tools too much, just incase i ended up making the image look unsuitable for a college magazine cover.
