My Cover Photo

I chose to take pictures of my friend Rosie as my model. I dressed her up in clothes that a typical college student would wear, I made sure she looked comfortable but ready for work. I put her against a blank wall to make sure she was the centre of attention, I chose this wall because it's the wall of a college which fits in with the theme. This image portrays the exact style and attitude that I would like to achieve with my magazine and general magazine appeal. My model is of the same age as my audience so they can relate to her. I will put this photo in photoshop and brighten some areas to meet my final aim for my magazine cover.
