Although I like some of the action shots, they don't seem appropriate for the front page of my newspaper; I think they would be more suitable on the page of the full article. When studying print publications whilst making my magazine last year, I found that a front page image is most successful when the face of the model can be seen, as it feels more engaging for a buyer. I have decided to apply this knowledge to my newspaper this year.
This is the image I will use:
I have chosen this image because Alice's face can be clearly seen, and she is smiling and looking directly at the camera. The lighting in the shot reflects off the medal, making it more prominently gold which emphasises the headline. The background of the shot is empty too, and clearly illustrates that she is in an ice rink.
I plan to enhance the photo in Photoshop before adding it to my cover, to make it look more professional.
