This photograph is a possible option to use as the front cover for my Social Media magazine cover for numerous reasons. Firstly, my model is using direct address, this is important for a magazine as they use the technique to catch the reader/audience’s eye. Secondly, there is enough space/room to put the title of my magazine “Teen Rulez!” Thirdly, the photograph was taken using a medium/mid-shot, all photographs used for the front covers will use this camera technique. The prop used (the computer) suggests the target audience what genre this magazine is. My model herself attracts my target audience as she herself is a teenager, who my magazine is aimed at.

My model herself attracts my target audience as she herself is a teenager, who my magazine is aimed at.There are two disadvantages of the photograph, Firstly, the arm of my model leaning on the computer desk does not go well with her facial expression, this could give mixed messages. Secondly, the arm of the model is blocking part of the YouTube site meaning that the genre can still be established although not as clear.

My model herself attracts my target audience as she herself is a teenager, who my magazine is aimed at. I like the gesture my model is showing, however, not everybody in my target audience would appeal to it. There is one disadvantage of the photograph, which is the gesture of my model is blocking part of the computer therefore the logo and site for YouTube will not be clearly seen which means the genre may not be established.

Chosen Photograph- I have chosen this photograph to use as the front cover for my Social Media magazine as direct address is used, this technique is highly used on magazine front covers. The focus of the photograph is visible for the target audience to see from a distant if it was stacked in stores. There is enough space to put a barcode, the date, price, masthead, coverlines and main coverline. The target audience can clearly see the prop which the model is positioned next to. I feel that the position of my model would suit best for a front cover for a Social Media magazine. Out of all the photographs taken, this photograph shows no part of the white wall or part of the bed in the room.
