Potential front cover pictures

Here is the first picture I took of my chosen model Ollie. Although I personally like this picture I decided that it was not suitable for a front cover as only his profile is visible as opposed to the front of his face and I found out from my research that the face of the model is used to attract the audience into reading the magazine.

This photo is not ideal for a front cover due to the angle it has been taken at, as the model slants to the right, the photo does not create a clear mark for the left third. A left third is necessary part of a front cover as it is where cover lines are added to entice the potential reader.

This is the final photo I decided against using for the reason that he is sitting down. However I may try to use this photo elsewhere (contents page), this is because there is a clear use of branding (the shoes) meaning that it will appeal to a niche audience type through a shared interest in that particular brand.
