Chosen cover picture

I have chosen this photograph for the front cover of my magazine because:

• It is Portrait so it is the correct way size for a magazine cover.
• It is a good medium close up shot.
• The girl in the photo looks happy which shows that she is enjoying school.
• She looks smart.
• It is taken in the school library which shows the books that the school have.
• The library shows that the picture is in a school.
• There is space at the top of the photograph for a masthead.
• The lighting is good and you can see all aspects clearly.
• The books in the background make the picture colourful which will attract attention.
• The rule of thirds is applied making it easy to add writing to the right of the main person.
