Below is the picture that I have chosen from the photo-shoot
which I will use for my front cover. I have chosen this specific picture
because there is a direct mode of address coming from the student in the
picture and she is holding books which are very visible in the photograph,
which represents what school is all about. However the main reason for my
choice of this image is because there is enough space for the rest of the front
cover conventions such as a big/bold title, cover lines, graphics or bar code.
This will give me the freedom to add good quality content to the front cover.
I thought that the original image is pretty good to work with
straight away, however I have opened it up in Photoshop to see if slight
changes will make it better. Below, picture number 1 shows that I have
brightened up the student's face and did some slight touch-ups to her face;
however, I wasn't happy with the outcome due to the light reflecting from the
glasses and the whole image looking a little too exposed to the light.
Picture number 2 was taken from the original image but I have
edited the background so it would be brighter. I liked the outcome of this
effect more and it was really hard for me to choose which picture I should use
as my final one, but I have decided to ask a few people's opinion and the
original picture has won the vote.
