This is my first picture that i took. I liked this picture becasue it showed a happy student, suggesting that students enjoy life at the college and this would appeal to students interests. I also like picture because as well as being simple, it shows some background of the college in which shows the modern intrior and it shows the college not to be boring and dated. My first thoughts on this pictures is that I will most likey use this as my cover piece. I like how the lighting emphises her face but doesnt shade the setting/background to deeply. The picture is a mid close up and the colours will not clash or draw the attention away from the text with the picture when completed.
My second picture that i took is of the student sitting a "fucky" chair in what looks like a college classroom or common room. I like this picture becasue it suggests a very 'laid back' and calm representation to the college, as of course, my aim is to make the college appealing to teenagers. However, i am not to keen on the dingy or dull background in my picture but if i wanted to brighten it up i could do so on InDesign however i want to use a picture where i do not need to edit so much and so it looks very natural. I also do not like the composition of where she is stting, with her leg pointing one way and then a stream of light coming from her other side, this looks very unorganised and ruff. I think my students posture suggests that perhaps she is uneasy about haveing her photo taken but this represents that student to not have to worry about people talking about eacher, where as the college offers a freindly and supportive atmosphere.Overall, i believe i am going to use my first picture as it offers a more postive look on the college and i can do varies things with the layout, where to text for example.
