My Front Cover Image

Out of all of the pictures that I took, this is the original image of the one I will use on my front cover before editing it.

This is the image after I have edited it.

I have cropped this image as I felt that there was too much space on the left hand side of the picture. By doing this it makes Isabel the focal point in the picture, which draws the audience's attention to her as she is now central. Even though I have cropped the picture I have still left enough room at the top of the image for a masthead and down the sides so that i can fit in featured articles. I have also boosted the colour as this makes the image brighter and it brings out the individual colours within the picture. I like this picture because Isabel is forming a relationship with the reader as she is making direct eye contact with them, which engages the audience. She is also holding some school books and a bag which helps to signify school. Also by having part of the school in the background it gives an insight into what the Magazine is about. Isabel is smiling in this image, which signifies that she is happy, this gives a positive representation of the sixth form to the reader.
