Additional images

I wanted to include an additional image to represent the college jumpers. My original idea was to get a photo of each type of jumper available to the students, however I had difficulty in getting all three together, so instead i only featured the sports jumper. I chose to take my picture against three different backgrounds so that I could pick which one would best suit my magazine.This picture has the brightest and boldest background out of the three. I have chosen to feature this photo on the front cover of my magazine because the two strong colours against each other will catch the readers eye and attract my target audience. When editing this photo i will be able to crop the right hand side of the image to get rid of the unwanted scenery that is visible.


This image has a more toned down background as it is of a lighter but similar colour to the jumper itself and almost blends in. For the reason that my target reader is from around the age of 15-19 years old I do not want my images and background to blend together as I would prefer them to be more noticeable.




I thought about having a naturalistic background so I chose to take this picture against a window that looked out upon a green/grassy area to create a naturalistic feel. Also because this is a sports jumper you generally associate sport with the outdoors so i thought about relating the jumper to the background. However i decided that with the bars and the lighting contrast there is too much going on for it to be a suitable image.
