This is the first image i took, this wouldn't be a good photo to use on the cover of the magazine because it isn't just the shoulders and up, more of the body is showing. The lighting is also very yellow, which i don't think would look very good on the cover. Where the student is standing takes the focus away from her because the background is quite busy with the picture behind her. I think having a plain background would look a lot better and the viewer would then focus much more on the student. Although this image wouldn't look very good on the cover of the magazine i'm designing, i do think that the angle is quite good because you and see all of the student instead of, for example one side of her face.
I have chosen this photo to put on the front cover of the college magazine because it shows just the right amount of the student, from the shoulders up. I also like the way she is putting her thumbs up, i wanted her to do this because in the magazine the story about her is that she has won a prize for one of her photos in photography, it shows she is proud of what she has done. The angle is good because you can see all of her face and she is looking straight at the camera which draws the reader in. The background isn't plain but compared with the first image i took, this one is by far the best image to use on the front cover becuase it doesn't draw the eye away from the subject. The natural light in this image is a lot nicer than in the first image because its brighter and looks more fresh.
