Magazine covers

Our fifth task in the first module was to create a rough design for a potential magazine cover. I composed three possible ideas, which I sketched up (incredibly roughly) before deciding which one to go with.

I was told that one wasn't a medium shot of a student (which I can see, as the people have their faces cut in half)

The second sketch is the one that I'm going to work with, as it includes everything the first sketch has, as well as the medium shot. 

The third sketch is a little boring, to be honest.

I sketched the second one up in a better style, to get more of an insight as to what it would look like.
