Looking back at your
preliminary task, what have
you learnt in the progression
from it to the full product?
Ellé Carrington
ABOUT MYSELF
I had to make sure to be:
• Confident
• Dependant on my creativity
• Dependant on my previous photography
skills
SKILLS I HAD TO DEVELOP ON:
• Thinking about how I handled my time,
to ensure that I got the deadlines done
and finished.
• I also have to work on using techniques
to help my magazine have a high
quality appearance, by using
techniques such as rule of thirds and
leaving no hanging widows.
TECHNOLOGY
For the layout and production of
making the magazine, I used
Adobe Photoshop and In design.
When using in design I found it
mostly very easy as they were all
very simple. Firstly the selection
tool was very useful as I could
move images and text on the
page and select things I needed.
The text tool came in handy as it
allowed me to type, adjust the
width/colour and features. The
shape tool also allowed me to
create shaped on the page with
made the page more fun. This
was very easy to use also.
On Photoshop I think a tool that I
need to get to grips with is the
cloning tool because when I used
it to blur out blemishes it did not
give an accurate finish. I think
once I have fully understood the
tool I will be able to give a good
quality photo.
To take my photographs I used my DSLR
camera (A Nikon D3100). From doing this work
I have learnt how to take photographs in
natural lighting, and how to make them look
professional.
To take my first set of photos for m front
cover I used artificial lighting without a flash
to make the photos more natural. For the
contents I took the photos in natural lighting,
with the model standing by the window.
While taking both sets of photos I tried
taking some photographs using sheets of
paper to reflect light onto the model.
I also tried taking photos with artificial
lighting and a flash, but the photographs
were exposed to too much light which meant
that they were too bright. Also I will need to
learn to position the model not so close to the
wall so that a shadow isn’t formed.
I applied this to my work floating my images
on the front page and also using the grid
lines to keep the text and pictures in line with
each other. I think the layout features came
out mostly successful; however there were
some disadvantages like the title not being in
line with the writing, and the bottom line of
the writing not being in line with the barcode.
If I was to do this work again I would be
more creative when designing my front cover
as I feel as though it is very basic and not
very exciting. I would do this by maybe
adding a photo to the front cover or adding
another colour, and making sure everything
is in line and every image is floating.
USE OF PEOPLE
For my models for my magazine I
chose people that I could rely on, so I
chose people who were quite close
to me. This enabled me to tell them
what to do, and if they acted badly I
could tell them to stop.
