The image of Miley is a close-up of her face. It is a side-view and it has been taken at eye level.

The background is just a sky blue colour, so the text and the foreground image contrasts against it and also so nothing distracts the reader from the focal point which is Miley.

PROS CONS• High-key lighting which makes

the image visible and clear to see.

• No props used which does not take away from focal point.

• Plain sky blue background so the cover does not look crowded/busy.

• The text are in contrasting colours to the background so that they contrast from it

• Minimal amount of colours have been used for consistency.

• The image of Miley is too large, so not much text can be added.

• The reader is indirectly addressed from the beginning. In my opinion the reader should be directly addressed on the very first image that they see.

• The title should just be in one plain, bold colour and not different variations.
