Editing a photo for my contents page

Process of editing the photo

Here what im doing in this screenshot is changing the contrast. I chose to increase this in order to make the image more distinguishable in terms of the lighting as I believe that once I changed this it brightened up the image and gave objects such as the buildings and the trees more definition too them and made them stand out more.

In this screenshot I am changing the vibrancy and the saturation of the photo. I changed the vibrancy of the image in order to make some of the more muted and dull colours in the image stand out more. The reason I chose to also change the saturation is that I felt even after changing the vibrancy of the photo, it still seemed washed out and dull so I rose the saturation slightly in order to make all the colours in the image stand out and make the image less dull.

In this screenshot you can see that I am changing the curves of the image. I did this so i could change multiple aspects of the photo at once such as lighting and colour. The result of doing this was that I made the borders of the image slightly darker in order to draw the viewers attention to the centre off the image.

I am happy with the result i got after editing the photo. I believe the strengths of this image know is that it gives the image a lot more colour and definition to multiple objects around the image, overall giving the image more detail. I believe this still falls into the genre of my magazine which is a local Sheffield magazine as it shows off a key area of the Sheffield town centre.

The reason I made the edits to this photo were in order to have the model be the subject of the photo. I did this by increasing things such as vibrancy and contrast in order for washed out colours to stand out more and give the model more fidelity. I also lowered the brightness in order for the models face to be more noticeable.

What i wanted to achieve by editing this photo was i wanted to have the subject of the photo (my model) stand out more for the viewer. I did this by using tools such as vibrancy and contrast in order to have some of the more dull colours stand out and give the subject more definition.

LO3 : Setting up InDesign

I chose these measurements for my intro page and dps because when i looked at the magazine i was pastiching i measured out the width and height and used those measurements on my own page in order to have the pages turn out the same as the ones i was pastiching. I chose 4 columns as this allowed me to give equal spacing for my interview and helped me keep it in line with one another.

I chose these measurements for my front cover because when i looked at the magazine i was pastiching i measured out the width and height and used those measurements on my own page in order to have the pages turn out the same as the ones i was pastiching. I chose to use 2 columns firstly to keep it in line with the page i was pastiching and because i thought these would help me space my text and pictures effectively on the page.

Setting up front page

The reason for why I chose these measurements were because these were the same measurements as the front cover on my magazine that I was pastiching and I wanted to keep the same size as I felt it would suit my magazine. I also chose a transparent background in order for me to edit the page without the inclusion of a white or black background obstructing the page.

LO3 : Final house style designs

For my final house style designs i chose the colors Red, Black, White and Grey. I chose these colors as they complement one another well but they also stand out from one another allowing certain aspects of my magazine to stand out from a different aspect.

 

For my mast head design i looked at the mast head design in the Exposed magazine and saw that a bold font helped the title stand out on the cover. I chose the impact font as i felt that this best suited the design i wanted to go for. I chose a red font in order to help the mast head stand out from from the cover image. I used a stroke when editing my mast head i felt that this added more depth to the mast head and gave it more color variation. I also used a drop shadow in order to further give the mast head depth.

My best photos

 I believe that the strengths of my photos is firstly they capture the scenery which is the focal point of the photos but also the model i believe adds layers onto the photo and in some case makes the scenery stand out even more. I also think ive used multiple rules of photography effectively such as rule of thirds and leading lines.

The images of peace and winter gardens will be used on my second double page spread and on my contents page.

I believe they fit the genre of my magazine which is a local magazine based around sheffield as they capture multiple areas of sheffield in interesting and effective ways that are interesting for a viewer and make them want to see more.
