Front cover photo change

After receiving my rough cut improvements back I realised that my front cover photo wasn't as high quality focus as I'd want. I I decided to retake the photo making sure to have it as focused as possible. To add darken the photo I also edited my photo on photoshop adjusting the opacity and contrast.

Extra photo

Today I took and added my forth photo to my double page spread. I chose to have my model perched on the lines that form his name. To do this I used a table in the media studio then through using photoshop I cut out the table so I had my model perfectly perched on top of the lines.

More photos

Today I took several new possible photos for my contents page and double page spread as the current photos weren't strong enough.

Contents page changes

After handing in my rough cut it was decided that my contents page photo wasn't strong enough for an image dominant contents page so I had to change it. After looking at other image dominant contents pages I noticed that the more effective ones tend to have the model looking right into the lens. I followed this convention when taking my new photos. In the end I decided on this photo as it was clear, nicely proportioned and I thought it would incorporate well into the page.

4th picture

My magazine needed a forth picture, normally multiple photos are placed on a contents page, but because of the image dominant layout I have chosen I physically cannot fit another photo on without making the page look cluttered and disorganised. The second option I had was to incorporate another photo onto my double page spread. Because most of the page was taken up on my double page spread I decided to add a small photo to the top left corner. I experimented this by using an old photo from a previous photo shoot. Overall I like this touch and will experiment further with other photos.

Double page spread 4th photo

Changes made to my double page spread is the small picture added to the top left corner of the page. This is my final picture of the four required for my magazine. It needed to be small as I didn't have much space to add a photo anywhere else because of the image dominant approach I chose.

Final extra photo

In the end I chose this photo to add to my double page spread as it looked the most natural and fitted in the place perfectly. I cut around the picture and photoshop and corrected any imperfections.
