School Magazine Photo Selection

The following pictures are pictures that I won't be using for my final magazine cover:

I won't be using this picture because it looks as if my arm and hand is in an unnatural position. I want the picture to look natural.

 I also won't be using this picture. I decided not to use this picture because of the poor lighting. The poor lighting makes the photo look dark, where I would like the picture to be bright.

Continuing, I also decided not to use this picture I look to serious and slightly angry. The main topic is GCSE results and I want to focus on the positive aspects. Therefore, I should look happy and proud in the picture.

Finally, I decided not to use this picture of the sixth form building since the sky is too bright and there is no detail. I took a better picture of the sixth form building that I may use instead.














However, these pictures are the ones that I decided I might use in the final cover of the school magazine:

Firstly, I decided that these three pictures may be possible photographs I might use because I look happy and I want the emphasis to be on the positive aspects of this years GCSE results. The lighting is also as good as I could get it in these pictures. I decided to use my GCSE results sheet and my school uniform as props. I did this because the GCSE results sheet is about the section of the magazine and the school uniform was used as it is school related and me look like a smart and punctual student who has just achieved good GCSE grades. personally, I feel like I will use the one on the right as there is just a plain background and it shows me as being happier than the other two pictures.


























This is an edited version of the picture I will use as the main cover image. I didn't like the shadow behind me and decided to use Serif Photo Plus to cut out the main image from the background behind me. However, the image will need to be re-edited as the photo isn't as smooth or of a good quality.

I have also decided that this may be a picture I might use for a sixth form related article or section of the magazine cover. I chose this image because the background sky looks nice and has good detail. additionally, the picture has the whole of the front of the sixth form building.


































Finally, I will use these pictures because since it is a school magazine, I wanted to show hard work and also, one of the main articles of the magazine is the outstanding GCSE results St Greg's students achieved. I thought that these two pictures show hard work and complement that article.
