Task 8 - Chosen image for Soul's front cover

This is the  image that I have chosen to place on the front cover of my magazine. This is because her position is unique and unusual for R and B  magazines. This is also because the type of shot is the same used on the cover of Vibe and generally on XXL (my case studies). I like the fact that direct mode of address is used as it can lead to interaction with the reader and  possibly increase participation (regarding social media e.t.c). I do however, need to brighten the image but I think that she is depicted as a powerful girl - plus it links to my theme which is "Sex Appeal."
