Photo for magazine front cover

Originally  we were going to use a photo where it included all of the girls because we wanted that to be our running theme throughout each of our products. After we started creating the front cover we were acing trouble fitting all of the girls on the page and when we tried to fit it the photos either looked too long or too wide, so we have the decision to cut the girls who were on the edge in the photograph. This was a decision we had to make to improve the overall look of the front cover and it had things a lot easier for us adding the tittles and text around the edges. The reason why we cut the two girls who were on the edges was because one of the girls had a slight smile which would have distracted from the whole front cover and it would subvert the genre horror. Also the girls that we kept in the photo were the main girls that were featured more in the trailer.
