I have recently took a picture of Molly which I thought out of the ones I have took would have been the best for a magazine front cover. After looking through all the pictures I have took I have chose this one In particular. However i knew that the picture would have to go through some cropping exercises before it actually would have been perfect for a magazine front cover.
This is a perfect example of why the picture would have to be cropped. The background is very unnecessary and as i know from my research before the most important feature on the front cover of a pop magazine is mainly the face. In this case i would have to crop the photo down to about a mid-shot which is what usually the main imagine of the front cover is.
Through previous research i have found out that any super start which are on the front cover have to look very welcoming and certainly make eye contact with the camera. In this photo this is exactly what Molly is doing, however we are not able to see unless the photo is cropped and zoomed.

After actually cropping the photo, it could now certainly be one for a magazine front cover. You can clearly see that Molly is making eye contact with the camera which means in a way she is making the audience welcome into reading the magazine. She is smiling which also makes the magazine even more inviting. By using a cropping exercise it has allowed me to see the change that the photo goes through and how it gives off completely different impressions to the readers.
As researched also previously, most of the pop magazine have plain backgrounds behind the pop star, In this case the background has not been removed but cropped. It would also be possible to make the background white however its not very visible in this so i personally think it wouldn't have made a huge difference.
