Magazine First photoshoot

This picture was one of the first I took and I made it black and white because I thought it looked quite effective. The problem with these photo's is that they all have a shadow. Luckily, I can edit the shadow out on photodhop.

This is another of my favourites but I will not use this one because half of her arm is missing from the picture.

This is the picture i will probably use for the front of my magazine if I am unable to retake these photos. This is definitely my favourite.

Update

I have taken my pictures for the magazine and will upload them as soon as possible. I have also begun my contents page for my magazine. I have added more designs for my magazine title and the style is becoming more and more focused. I have narrowed it right down to only two desgins and they will be published as soon as I have decided finished editing them.

MAGAZINE TITLE DESIGNS

This page of designs was my first. You can probably tell by the varying types of design. I didn't know what sort of design I was looking for, so I created these to give me more ideas.

Here are my few chosen desings. I have narrowed them down to about 8 favourite designs. I have narrowed them down even more because they are all around the same area of colour and it is a blue colour that I am looking for for my title.

This is my last page of designs. I have chosen two designs, the one with the big 'PROPHET' and the ones with the big 'MORGANVILLE'. You can see that I prefer the big 'PROPHET' ones due to the fact that I have done so many of them in different ways.

This title design is the one I have chosen for my magazine. The 'Prophet' part stands out and it is clear to read but not boring to look at. This is not set in stone however and may change if I find something better for my magazine 

Day 5

I have decided which kind of cover I will have on my magazine in this lesson. On my Example Magazine Covers page, I have explained which magazine covers I think are effective, and which kind of layout I wish to base my own magazine cover on.

Day 4

In this session, we are finding pictures from the internet that we think would be suitable for a school magazine. We are finding pictures that we personally think would work well as the front picture of a magazine cover.

Day 3

Today, I edited my blog and continued to plan my school magazine. I have now decided on a picture of Marilyn Monroe for my blog because she was an iconic figure who was always in the media. This picture is a classic and I thought it was a very good idea for my blog. I have also researched some magazines covers and these will help to determine my ideas for my own work.

Day 2

In this lesson we learnt about the different properties of a camera. E.g. the lens, the megapixels and how to change the lighting suited for different environments. We then began to plan our assignment one: the school magazine.

Hello there!
