School Magazine Evidence

These are the images I didn’t use, I did not use them as the main model is not looking towards the camera and lighting is dark. Furthermore within image 1 there is a large amount of un filled space in the bottom section of the image. I do not like image 2 as the main models body isn't positioned correctly which effects the composition of the photo.

Within these images I added lights, which were too bright and the composition of the images are not strong . Within image 2 the male models are talking to each other, I prefer the images when the male models are working as it creates a better overall image.

PLANAs you can see I altered my image altogether, originally I was going to have a 6Form student with a younger lower year group student being helped by the Sixth Former. However I changed my cover image so it was more relatable for all Sixth form students by having a number of older models upon my front cover working together.

PHOTOSHOP PROCESSFirst I added a mast head choosing the correct font to create the appropriate effect, I added colour to the text by selecting the blue from my original image onto my text so the use of colours flow again with logo. I decreased the opacity of the logo, to show my photo shop skills and to become more formal and grown up for the oldest secondary students.

Next, I added a banner with 3 key words, again using the same selected blue tone. These words are Success, Studios and Salt with all begin with the letter ‘S’ which ties in with the Masthead. I also edited the original image by altering the exposure and contrast levels.

Once adding my text I edited them by using the drop shadow tools and contour tools to add depth to my cover page. Lastly I added the issue number and date, I kept the colour scheme light and vibrant so it was aesthetically pleasing for my target audience.

FINAL EDITED COVERThis is my final school based magazine cover product. It has key school based genre elements for example the mise en scene includes posters of films, tables and chairs indicate a clear classroom setting. It is clear that the subject is media, and is a class of older sixth form students due to the student lanyard and non school uniform. I like how the magazine is bright and has minimal text, when I did my research school magazines had little or no text on the cover’s implying that the image was the most important aspect of the cover. Furthermore the composition of the image is strong I like how the 2 male students in the background create a ‘V’ in-between them with the media posters. Every part of the image is not blank for example the bottom of the image has a folder and school work which gives the connotation the student is working hard.
