This is my front cover with my image on it, i chose joel because i wanted to show that the school is both for girls and boys, the colours i used for the magazine are quite girly being pink, yellow and baby blue, so it could confuse the reader into thinking it was just for girls. I chose Joel to wear his navy stripey jumper because i wanted it to go with the front door and i didnt want too many colours in the image incase it clashed with the colour theme of my magazine. His clothes are smart and appropriate sixth form wear so this gives a good example to other sixthformers, also he is smiling so gives the impression the school is a happy and friendly environment. As the magazine is a summer edition i have made sure the light is shining on joel, because there is a plant infront of the sun shining on him it gives a shadow on him which is good because it stops the brightness being too much. you can also see the schools reception plaque so this connotes that it could be the front of the school. I like that you can see leaves on the right hand side, it add colour to the picture and also links to the theme of summer.
