Images I will use to integrate aspects into my own cover.
In this image the colors have been chosen specifically to contrast the protagonist to the people around her. Even though it is a medium long shot she seems to be the main focus through the lighting hitting her face more. It is interesting that they have used a black female but purposely made the person behind to wear orange to contrast with her purple clothes. This makes her seem more vibrant whilst giving her a clearer complexion.
Also, the arrangement is interesting as it shows that the mise en scene has been carefully constructed as camera shot, lighting and costume all emphasize the overall frame. However, this image will not be useful for me as my image for my magazine cover will work better when portrait.
Next, I found these two images which I thought are very similar but have different characteristics which makes them individually valuable.
In this image the lighting hits the top of her face which displays the protagonist's face brighter with the different shade of darkness.
The portrait image is composed at the centre which dominates the frame. Moreover, in both of these pictures they use people with similar skin tones and hair.
For this next image, I will position my protagonist in a similar way with a white background behind. I will try to focus the light on one side of the face whilst using natural light on the other to contrast the colours.

Excellent focus onto the one subject and idea. Make sure you carry this into the creation stage next.
