The closeup is not suitable for a college magazine as it only shows the face and nothing else. If I included this image in my college magazine, the text would cover some of her face. Also it isn't the conventional, professional sized image to use on a magazine front cover.

This is a medium closeup shot, which is the type of photograph I will be using for my magazine as it shows clearly who the person is, and the setting. Although I will Photoshop into a different setting, such as the corridors, or outside the college, depending on which has the most similar lighting, color themes, etc.

A long shot would not be ideal for a college magazine, as it shows more than necessary. Also, it makes it harder to see the face of the person. It is unconventional for magazines to use a long shot on the cover, however it has been used in the past by mainstream magazines, such as Kerrang! (as seen above).

This is a shot to the right, which I will not use as it shows scenery which isn't needed, and it in unconventional for magazines.

This is a shot to the left, which I will not use as it shows scenery which isn't needed, and it in unconventional for magazines.

This is a center shot, which is better than shots to the left and right as it shows exactly what is needed. Furthermore, it leaves spaces for text which will be added to the sides of the image.
