Time Lapse

I have taken a time lapse video of my photoshoot as evidence to prove to the examiner that the photos are my own. Also I have been able to look back at it to assess how well I directed my model and to show the varity of angles I used and how I achieved these, (for example standing on a chair to produce a shot at a high angle).



Diary 11

I have completed all these coursework tasks and I will now be able to start working on the actual magazine on photoshop. I just created my article draft that will be used on my double page spread and I made sure that the style of my writing informal so it has a 'chatty' and friendly tone to it that the reader will be able to relate to. I will use all these tasks that I have completed over the past weeks to help me create my magazine in different ways and I have found that doing them has been worthwhile. I'm looking forward to creating my magazine and will start doing so in my next lesson.

Article Draft

I have created a draft article that I will include on my double page spread. I have made sure to aks relevant questions that will interest the readers of my magazine. I have also made sure that the article is informative and entertaining.

Diary 10

As the deadline for completing these tasks is this Friday, I have taken the time to complete some at home. I created my schedule which is a brief outline for when each task is due. This will count as a checklist and help me to manage my time effectively. I also sketched out some quick drafts for my front cover, contents page and double page spread and then created drafts on PowerPoint to give me a rough idea of where I will lay things out on the page and where they look best. I also had to think about where I can incorporate my images in to the double page spread to prove that I have taken a wide variety of different shots and used different angles. Next I am going to create my article draft that will be placed on the double page spread when I complete it on photoshop.

Draft Double Page Spread

I believe that my double page spread was the easiest to draft as the main aspect that will fill the page is the actual article. I will have to create this article as a word document and add this to the real double page spread when I have completed it on photoshop. I made sure that I included some images on my double page spread and I will probably end up using more than two to show that I have taken a variety of different shots. The double page spread also has a title and an introduction for readers that may not know much about the artists and to briefly explain what will be mentioned in the article. I will add the text in columns and use 'text wrapping' to make sure that there is little blank space around the images.

Draft Contents Page

Similarly, when creating my contents page draft I also started out with a sketch on paper before I created a copy, similar to this, on PowerPoint. I found that creating a layout for a contents page is much harder as I have to think about where to put the information so that the reader can easily find it, yet ensure that it fills up the space needed. Also, there are certain things that I have to make sure that I include within my contents page. Such as subscription details, social networks and a small variety of images to entertain the reader. I will need to use the contents ideas that I thought of to fill my contents page, but I believe that I will need to add to these to make sure that I have a sufficient number of pages in my magazine.

Draft Front Cover

When creating my draft front cover, I started off my drawing it on to paper to get a rough idea of where I wanted my masthead, images and sell lines to be. I then went on to PowerPoint and created a rough colour version with a picture and different fonts. This way, when I start to create the actual magazine on photoshop, I will know roughly where I want things to be laid out, where they look best and what information I will need to include. Also, I will use my sell lines that I created to help me fill any white space I might have when creating my real front cover. I'm not completely sure that this is the image that i want to use, but from creating a draft, I have realised that I want the main image to be a close-up.
