Photos that I am not using for Aaron

This was my first draft image of Aaron. After having another photo shot I didn't like this image because it looked like a mug shot of Aaron going to prison.

 This was an image from my second photo shot. I haven't used this image because Aaron's hair is blowing from the wind.

I haven't used this image because Aaron wasn't ready for the photo.

I haven't used this photo of Aaron because mainly Aaron's smile looks fake. Another reason why I haven't used this image is because of the shadow that he made on the background.

Photos for Andrew & Tom that I am not using

 I didn't use this photo of tom because it looked to plain and there was to much of the background in the picture. I took this picture because I was thinking of doing an individual image for both Andrew and Tom and having just a close up of their face.

 I liked this photo and the location but I didn't like the grass or Tom not looking at the camera. I would have chosen this image if the grass was a hard surface instead and if tom was looking at the camera.

This image wasn't chosen because of the same reason for Toms individual photo. But also they are a duo so it would be better if the image was of them together.

I really liked this image of Tom and Andrew. However, the reason why I didn't chose this image was because I didn't like that they were both looking away from the camera and the angle of the image.

Props

The only prop that I used was a scarf for Andrew.

This is my third draft for my contents page of my magazine. There are only a few improvements which I have made from the second to third draft.These are:

First draft mark

After my first draft I will be needing to make a lot of improvements. These improvements are the text and font. I will need to vary my fonts over all three of the pages and the size of the text should be relevant. For example, the front covers main article should be in a bigger and bolder font then the rest of the front cover. Another main improvement will be to manipulate the images that I have. Doing these two main improvements will make my mark increase.
