In this week of production I managed to get 2 of my photoshoots done, I think that my photoshoot went well because my models cooperated well due to the fact I had a meeting with them before, I told them how they should pose, their costume, what props they need. Another thing that was good was my lighting, due to the fact at first I wanted butterfly lighting, but i made a discovery that the use of broad lighting would me a lot more effective. I am happy with this because it means that I am well on my way with my product meaning that I wont have a carry on of needing photos sooner or later, this is also a positive as it means I am able to now start shaping my Front cover, and the two double page spreads that I have taken the photographs for. I have also made a start on my front cover and got well away with it, now being able to place my image, create my masthead and I have added sky lines and sell lines on. I feel that this is good progress as it means that later on i will be able to get away with my Double Page Spreads. I think that with my front cover I have made progress due to the fact that I have learnt a lot, able to know the size of sell lines and mastheads. I have learnt how to use the burn tool and the dodge tool to enhance the look of my photo, used auto-colour to make it look brighter, I also learnt how layer pictures and text, due to the fact i Put my masthead behind my photo by using the pen tool and cutting it out then placing it over the top. Another bit of progress I made was the i am nearly finished my second article, I think this puts me in good stead for now being able to get well away with it, meaning i will be able to start the double page spread for it very soon.
this is my front cover this week
I tried my best to follow my schedule, I looked at some magazine front covers and Double Page Spread's and noted down some features that I liked the look, I did indeed look at fonts I feel I should download it but did not download any as I didn't find any that really caught my eye. I didn't look at the exact colour codes that I want, but I did manage to find some when choosing what colour I wanted then noted them down, all in all I feel that I have followed my schedule briefly, but not right down to the letter which could come as a bit of problem later on if I lose time to do things.
