This was the first image I took, however it is clear I did not give much guidance to the model as t the smile that I wanted. The smile seems somewhat forced and the lighting is too off centred. It sticks to the criteria of a medium close up shot however the combination of both poor lighting and saturation and the forced smiled influenced me to not use this particular picture on my magazine.
This image was also not used as the posture of the model seems to be slightly leaning forward which was not what I was looking for, also the image is not of the best quality and again the lighting is far too exposed and splits the models face into two halves, light and dark giving an unprofessional look.
Again this image meets the criteria of a medium close up and it would be a suitable image to use as the models face is positioned towards the light this time bringing him more into focus, this gives a professional look to the image however I feel as though there was not enough of the actual model in the picture for it to be limitless, I was boxed in with what I could do during production of the cover.
This image was the image used on the cover, this time I made sure I had more of the model's body in the picture itself in order to be able to move him around and crop out parts that were no required and the image will still be seen as a medium close up, the saturation on this image is lower than the image above however I felt confident that it could be easily restored in order to give a professional design to my cover. It represents the target audience well, it is a teenager in generic clothing who looks like a typical student.
