Photos i am not using






These are the pictures i dont think i am using but i might use a few but i'm not sure. I am not using these pictures because a couple of them are blury and not as good quality. Some of these pictures are the same as the ones i am using because i made sure i took 2 of the same picture just incase i lost one.

Photos I am using for my Magazine

 These are the pictures i am using in my student magazine, i am using these pictures because they are better quality and they show student life well. I am using one group picture and the rest are individual. I am also using a picture of my prize for the compitition for my front cover. The settings for the pictures are in the college to make it look more of a student magazine.
