Photo Selection DPS

I discarded this photo because I don’t like how it cuts off the top of my model’s head and I don’t like the tilt down angle

I chose this photo because it has the perfect amount of space for me to put my article and I love how bright the model’s face looks

Although I love this photograph, I didn’t use it because it doesn’t have enough space for me to work with to put my article.

I don’t feel like my model is the focus of this photo and that the green wall distracts from her so I don’t want to use it.

I really like this photo however for my DPS, there isn’t enough space to put my article over her.

I didn’t want to use this photo because the lighting makes my model’s eyeliner look a bit weird.

Having duplicated my layer, I used the convert to black and white tool and changed the contrast until I was happy with the photograph.

I then used the eraser tool to pick out her lips, eyes and guitar as they are the most important features of the photograph.

I used the quick selection tool to select the guitar strap and used the bucket tool to make it more vibrant.

Feedback

I used the scribble tool in Publisher to make my article go around my model’s shoulder and guitar to make it look more professional. I also realigned my text using the ruler to ensure that when its printed, it falls to the right of my page. I created my page numbers using the circle tool and made a drop cap for the beginning of my article as is convention in magazines.

Having changed my colour scheme, I changed my model’s lip colour and also her guitar strap to be purple.

Teacher Feedback:

Here, I rotated my photo credit and put it on the right of the page to make it less distracting to the reader

I made my page numbers smaller and got rid of its pink outline again this is to make it less distracting.

I moved my masthead to the left of my page number

I added a slug to my DPS so that my page would be easy to find for a reader and to show that this is a feature article
