The cover image

I captured an image of a female student in a posed stance. This adds appeal to the target audience- typography.I took it in the college studio as i thought it showed a professional effect. No props were used as i wanted to focus on the main target. The students. The background was black so it didn't look to 'busy.' 

Here is the image i decided on:

Her body language demonstrates the informal and relaxed feel of the magazine. She isn't wearing anything too bright so it allows me to be creative with the colour scheme. The image will relate to the cover story focusing on her singing involvement in the music department and how she "beated stage fright."
