Development of magazine cover

Here are two of the photos we took on our photo shoot and added to the poster plan that we had already made. The one above is a photo which we originally took and wanted it to be an in character photo. We then felt that it would look better as an out of character photo. Therefore we edited it using photoshop and tried to make it appear as though she wasn't crying and was therefore out of character. We also changed her lips in this photo because in the original her lip stick was smudged. I think this is an attractive photo and therefore would work well as a photo for an actress. The was her hands are in this photo makes it look quite innocent. I think this is a good photo on the poster however I dont think this photo should be used for our final magazine cover. To improve this I think we should add more small writing on the cover because I have noticed that on most magazine covers there is a lot of information about what is inside.
