Front Cover Flat Plan

Photo Analysis

I chose this picture for my main imagine on my front cover as it is clearly a sports imagine. I thought that it would be easy to make compatible with a colour scheme as there are the use of the same colours throughout which also relates to the school logo. This would allow me to keep a theme throughout my front cover and contents page. It also was voted popular in my survey. I felt that this picture was something that the TA could relate to, making it more appealing to them.

I chose this as a potential main image for my front cover or an image to use on my cover page. It follows a clear colour pattern which would be easy to match in a colour pallet. This picture is easily recognisable as a sports image. To use this for my main image i would crop it down to look as it the main protagonist it heading towards the audience, creating interaction.

I would use this on my contents page as its a real image with people that the audience would recognise. The image quality is good, giving the impression of high production values. It also shows sucess therefore giving the college a good perception.
