Prelimary Task

Pre-Lim. Front Page

I like this picture, however did not use it because it doesn't have much resemblance to school, seeing as it's a school magazine. The picture is effective because it's well focused. I took the picture because i was simply experimenting on different backgrounds and trying out different ways of presenting my model.

I started to experiment with pool tables and different way's in which my model can be shown. i liked the idea of taking the picture from behind the '8' ball, as it looks effective. Because your looking up at the model. I didn't choose this picture because i knew i could take a better picture, plus i didn't like the background in which the picture was taken.

Once again i experimented with using the pool table in my final picture. This time with more ball's involved, the angle is different from the picture above. However i didn't use this photo because i didn't like the background. Or the layout in which the model was standing. Therefore i took many more pictures, using the same model/equipment, whilst changing the background.

This is my final picture in which i used on my front cover of my school magazine. The reason for this is because the lighting works really well, there's not too much going on. It's pretty plain and simple. Plus the background is plain and not very eye catching. I then made the picture portrait as a magazine cover is portrait and not landscape.

This is the final result. As you can see i changed the picture from landscape to portrait. Added the title, and created caption's for the magazine. I was going to add more pictures onto the front cover, but i didn't seem this was necessary.






Pre-Lim. Contents Page

I thought it would be a good idea for the contents page, to get a student in yellow and blue. Therefore it would look more like its aimed at WGSB. I went ahead and took many pictures of students to try and get the best picture. In the end it came down to this picture. Because the background and the student work very well together.

This is the final product, for the contents page. I chose the colour font as white because it's really easy to read. For example if i was to use brown, it would be harder to see the writing. The page numbers and headings were pretty straight forward, as i looked inside the current 'School Magazine' for ideas in which to name the pages. I kept the title font and colour the same as the Front page to keep the 'house style'.
