Front Cover 1 - Editing

 I am pleased with my first mock up especially considering my photoshop skills this time last year. I believe my magazine shows many magazine conventions. The cover price, masthead, issue number, anchor etc. My only concerns would be not hitting the brief of the 'upmarket audience' as the colours and style may not be reflective. I have utilised Barthes semiotics theory through the red lighting and some red wording to highlight the horror theme on this front cover as this issue is released at the start of autumn season so people will be craving Halloween and cosy movies. 

Second Photoshoot

 

These photos are what i would consider the ‘best’ from my first photoshoot. I utilised a bike light to give a red hue and used black dress gloves to show the theme of ‘captured’ which creates the enigma which is what i want to achieve. What I like about the first: The backround, the centring. What I like about the second: The direct address, the emotion. What I like about the third: The position, utilising the foreground and middle ground and the direct address. 

 

First Photoshoot

 Ajuni- my model looked stunning for this shoot. I really like all the photos but all for different reasons. I really like the positioning and the way the dress flares out. The second i love the angle and the was the dress flares out. However for both these photos she looks tired and i feel like we could have gotten better shots. For the last photo i love the way she looks.
