Cover photo and feature ideas

In this task I was asked to find out what my target audience thought of my cover pics and what ones they prefer and would like to see. I videoed there responses and used this when deciding what pictures I was going to include.

The first person I asked said that they prefer the first picture because its a close up and you can see there face rather than focus on there body accessories. however they said that the person should be smiling as it helps makes the audience wanna read it as the facial expressions brings the audience in as the main image needs to seem interested in whats going on.

The second person I asked said that they prefer the 5th one because you can see the models outfit and might like her style and might want to carry on reading because they like her trend and clothing. IT also helps that she is smiling as its nice to see and encourages the readers to pick up the magazine and want to read it and buy it.

The third person I asked said that they prefer the 3rd one because its a medium close up shot so you can see her whole body and its good that she is smiling and making eye contact with the readers to it makes the audience feel more connected.

Overall I will take more pictures so I can combine all that feedback and get a medium close up shot so you can see the models face and facial expressions and feel connects and so they model can make eye contact with the audience but also so you can see her outfit and as its a pop magazine my target audience might wanna follow her styles and trends. I will make sure the picture I take the model is smiling and and looks happy and enthusiastic and looks lively and it will attract the target audience a lot more.
