My first attempt at a magazine cover for sixth form

My First attempt... I have decided to call the magazine "unite" because sixth form is such a close community. I like the photo because it seems really simple but I think it would have worked even better if it was a mid-shot so that is why I am not using it as my front cover, I also think that there should be a couple of more people on the cover to show more of a community. Overall I like the cover but it is not suited to what the magazine is for and about so when I actually start doing my front cover I have this as a reference to look at.
