2. Effective Lighting
 Effective Lighting is more than just how bright or dark it is; it’s
also the key to the look, mood and atmosphere of your images.
The direction of the light will affect how the shape and texture
of your subject appears, while the colour and how soft or harsh
the light is can totally change a shot’s appearance.

3. Facial Expression Theory
 The facial expression of your model can totally change the
way a magazine is perceived, for example if the model is
angry the magazine may come across as a dark and angry
magazine – however if the model is happy and smiling if
conveys that the magazine is a lively and uplifting magazine.

4. Effective Positioning
 Positioning is how something or someone is placed in a photo,
positioning can be effective by featuring the artist/focal point
of the magazine into the image as well as something such as a
prop in the background.

5. The Rule Of Thirds
 The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide
lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the
top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to
flow from section to section.
