Below are some photos that I have taken. I will choose one of them for the cover of my magazine.
This photo was taken outside the sixth form block.
Positives:
The location is perfect for my target audience-sixth form students.
The Beaverwood logo is in the background.
The models are the centre of the photo.
Negatives:
It is not portrait, it is landscape.
The Beaverwood logo is too small to see and would be cut out anyway when cropping the photo to make it portrait.
I do not like the positioning of the models and they do not look very happy, this would not look very welcoming on a cover of a magazine.
This photo was taken in the corridor of the main building.
Positives:
The background is very plain so the models are the main focus.
The large windows to the right allow light to come in and they show another part of the school- the quad.
The corridor looks traditional so shows that the school has been there for many years and is likely to have achieved good results.
Negatives:
Again, this is not portrait it is landscape.
The models are too far apart so there would be no room to position things around them especially once it has been cropped.
This photo was taken in the quad, in front of a tree.
Positives:
It is portrait.
You can see some of the school building in the background.
The models are looking directly at the camera and are smiling so it shows that the school is a friendly environment.
A tree is a symbol of growth and strength, this subtly denotes that the school will help students to develop and fulfil their potential.
Negatives:
The positioning of the models is not very appropriate as they look too informal.
This is the photo that I am going to choose for the cover.
It is portrait so no cropping will be needed for it.
The models are the centre of the photo making them the main focus, this also means that it will be easy to position things around them.
There is also space at the top meaning that the masthead will fit perfectly.
I like the way the models are positioned because it shows that they are relatable to the target audience.
In addition to the tree symbolism above, the models standing back to back representing that they work together to overcome any difficulties.
Why I chose the models...
It shows that sixth form is open to both genders.
Their ethnicities show that the school does not discriminate in any way.
The models look fairly smart as one of them is wearing a suit.
I chose two models because one model would only show a specific type of student, whereas choosing two models that are different to each other shows that the school has a spectrum.
