All the Convention on the front cover, fit around the image and try to compliment the image and its assets. For example the strap lines that are on the right hand side are curvy to fit the women's curves which emphasis them much more, and portrays the image that most urban, R n B female artists are like that. Also the women's head is overlapping the masthead it shows that it is a famous magazine which means people will already know the magazines name so it doesn't matter if it is not all showing, also the image is on the right hand side in the rule of thirds, the look that she gives is very titillating and seductive which makes us look strait at her eyes and the light is hitting of her curves which makes them stand out as well.

After taking a series of phtographs for my front cover I chose this one because it was a medium close up shot and it had potential to edit with photoshop, this image started of as a row of pupils on computers, I used the bluring affects on all but one pupil and their keybord, this made the shot more pupil and computer specific. The reason that I choose a sixthformer with non uniform rather then a regular uniform student, is because it makes the cover feel more grown up and adult and it wil also appear more appealing and relatable to the upper school pupils aswel as the younger. this picture portrays an image of a student hard at work and is good for the schools reputation. The strap lines i made relevent to the picture so about ICT so that the picture blends in with the theme.
