Amy Hill used several photos in her magazine article about sixth form students. She included a photo of a student working on a computer as the cover photo because it depicted a sixth former working, which fit the story about starting sixth form. She also used an photo of a sixth former teaching a year 11 student to show interaction between older and younger students. However, she did not use a photo of an unhappy-looking student because it did not match the message that sixth form students are enjoying school life.
