Front page trial and error

This is the first trail of my cover magazine. This looks great as her facial expression is very unique. But her left hand doesn't look in position. It's out of place which ruins her pose. With the use of the varsity jacket the texts on the left side of the magazine is hard to be seen. I have added a white text outline so that the text can be seen even though there's a white background. The 'Miss A' is standing out due to the dark background. The text and colours works perfectly. 

This front cover is very appealing for my target audience this is because of her pose and attitude in the image. However the 'Exlusive interview about her:' is lost due to her trousers. The colours used clash and it's hard for the readers to see. the image is also very small for the page but this can easily be edited. Her clothing style is giving the magazine an 'edgy' and 'bold' feeling which is suitable for the genre and audience.

 This is the third cover front, I have placed her on the right side so her outfit is clearly shown but it doesn't look very nice which is why I don't think I'll be using this image. In addition I took this image from above her making her look smaller. This isn't the message I'm trying to put across as it looks as if people are looking down at her. Furthermore, where I have cropped the background, I have left mark on the image which doesn't blend in with the backgroud. However this can be photoshopped.

This is the last trial I have chosen which is a very cheerful photo with a hint of edge due to her outfit. This will appeal more to the older audience (20+) my readers will find this outfit appealing and will want to buy similar clothes. The spread of of the image is also a perfect size for the front cover as she takes up most of the space. I personally feel that I will use this image for my final cover as I like her facial expression because she looks calm and that she's enjoying herself.
