Original image for Sheldon magazine cover

This was the original image I took for my magazine cover. I took a number of images, but the lighting was quite dark in all of them so I decided to put the brightness up on it in photoshop instead of taking more, because even when I changed the settings on the camera it seemed to still be dark. I liked the idea of having a world map as the background, as the main idea of my cover was showing that Sheldon is now a language college. I didn't particularly like the big space between the top of the model's head and the top of the image. I hoped the fill this space by cropping the image to the correct A4 size, and making the purple at the top take up a chunk of space.
