250 this was paired with 3 other light 4
including its self to deliver powerful quick bursts
of light to my model. This Bowens was paired
with a soft box

create a less hard shadow for my models the
softbox works by diffusing light and making the
light softer.

create effective shots roughly medium close up
to close ups the lens was set to automatic
focus so i didn't have to adjust the focus
myself.

photoshop was helpful because it
allowed me to move and adjust
photographs in order to create a
effective front cover and contents
page

InDesign was used to create my double page
spread it was more easier to use due to the
larger bodies of text i had on my
page i designed the image and
back ground in photoshop then
placed it under the text in InDesign.
