The document discusses several potential magazine cover images that feature a model. It analyzes key elements of each photo, such as the model's expression, posture, lighting, background simplicity, and neutral clothing colors. These elements are important for directing the audience's gaze to the model's face and making her expression clear. The selected cover image centers the model's face perfectly and clearly shows her expression to convey the magazine's theme well.

2. This is an attractive image, the
models expression is important
on this image because it is very
relevant according to the main
cover line of the magazine. The
background is white and plain so
it doesn’t draw the audience
eyes away from the models face.
The model is making front on
direct address with the audience
and her face is centred in the
image, which causes the
audience to look there first. The
costume of the model is very
bland, neutral creams and
whites which was selectively
picked so that it doesn’t bring
attention away from the models
face. The hair of the model is
very straight and neat, which is
good because it doesn’t attract
attention.

3. This image could be used for the
cover of my magazine. The
model is making direct address
with the audience which follows
the codes & conventions of a
magazine cover and the
expression on the face appears
fed up, which is relevant to my
main cover line. The background
is plain is this image which
doesn’t draw attention away
from the model and the models
posture is facing side on. The
clothing of the model is
important as it is bland neutral
colours, which doesn’t draw any
attention away from the main
focus of the image, the face of
the model.

4. This is a very attractive image.
This could be used as my
magazine cover as the
expression in the models face is
relevant according to my main
cover line. The posture of the
model is important as she
appears fed up and has her hand
on her hip. She is leaning slightly
to the left and is tilting her head
which further signifies she is fed
up. She is making direct address
with the audience and the
costume of the model is very
bland / neutral colours which is
good because it doesn’t draw
attention away from her face.

5. In this image the models face is
well lit up, we can see the fed up
expression clearly and there are
no shadows beneath the models
eyes. The background of the
image is very simple, which is
important as it doesn’t attract
attention away from the models
face. The costume of the model
is bland neutral colours which
further causes the audience to
look at her face and nowhere
else. The model is making direct
address with the audience which
attracts their eyes to look there
first.

6. In this image, the models face is
centred which is good because it
attract their attention there first.
The model is making direct
address which is to be expected
in a magazine cover. The
expression on the model appears
as if she is fed up, which is
relevant to the main cover line of
the magazine. The background Is
very basic and doesn’t draw
attention away from the model,
the clothes also are basic neutral
colours so that they do not
attract attention. It could be used
for a front cover for a magazine.

7. This is the image I selected for
the cover of my magazine, this
image is better than all of the
rest because it has the models
face centred perfectly and the
expression of the model can be
seen very clearly. The lighting on
the face of the model is also very
pleasing as there are no
shadows on the face. The stance
of the model in this photo is
better than the others because it
further conveys the theme of the
magazine better than most of my
other photos. The model doesn’t
have much make up on in this
photograph as it is not
important, the action the model
is performing is what is most
important in this image.
