These are the two photos which i took for my front cover of "Lewes'SHOUT out". I aimed to get a photo of a student outside of a Lewes College sign so that it gives a general link to the name of the magazine. My aim with the photo was to get a medium close view which would give the reader something to react and link to. Having just the sign in the background means that the eye wont be distracted by whats happening and at a quick glance you know what/where it is. I also chose a student smiling as it shows that shes happy which generally gives the view shes happy at college and what shes doing. A smile also attracts the reader as her face is one of the main points of the picture. the height of the photo was also vital to my design if i was to take a photo from above then it would give the sense of overpowering and therefore have a different affect than i aimed for. Being at the same level isn't overpowering and gives the reader something to relate to as its a pupil and its a magazine for everyone to read.
Out of these two photos i decided to use the first photo as it not only has a medium close view but is facing us. The image where she is looking to the side doesn't have as much of a welcoming portrayal. Both of the photos fit my target designs of the level, smiling and showing something to do with Lewes college.
