2. I used my flat plan as an influence and took photo’s
around the college to use for my front cover and contents
page.
I had to alter some of my original idea’s after finding that
some of the images did not turn out as well as I had hoped.

3. I chose not to use this image as the strong lighting from the window
caused my face and body to shadow. This would not be a good
photo for a main image.

4. This image was another image that I felt was un suitable for my
college magazine. The light from the window is making my face
shadow. As well as this, I look un happy which could potentially put
people off reading the magazine. Finally, the ‘learning centre’
poster is cut out of the image, which would not look good on a
magazine cover.

5. Although I liked the fact
that this image looked
natural, and the plain
background attracts
more attention to the
model. I felt as though
using an image where
the model is looking at
the camera would
connect with the
audience more and
draw them in.

6. I decided that this image did not work. I felt the background was too
busy and would draw attention away from the model and any
mastheads or coverline’s I add to the cover.

7. I really liked this image, however I felt a closer shot of the model
would connect with the audience more. I felt a shot of this distance
was not suitable for a magazine cover.

8. I liked this photo as I felt the way the model (myself) was looking into
the lense will connect with the audience and draw them In. However I
felt the bookshelf background was too busy and would distract the
reader from the main image and the masthead.

10. So I deleted the background
from the image of the model I
preferred.

11. And I added it to the background that I liked and this is what I
created.

12. However I felt the parts of the image (shown using green arrows)
where too busy and un needed (such as the reflection of a car in
the window)

13. Therefore I cropped my image and also changed the brightness
and contrast.

14. I then cropped the image
further and I was happy
with the result I got. I like
the fact the reader can still
see the words ‘St.Peters’ in
the background. I also
think the plain brick wall will
focus the attention on the
model.

15. And this was my final
result.
