2. rough sketch of layout
anD image
• Supporting image of hands tied up
by mouse wire – represents that
we are trapped by social media.
• We will edit the image so that the
wire continues down to the
bottom of the page.
• The text will go around the wire.
• At the bottom we will have boxes with facts about
social media – again the text will go around the
image (of the mouse).
3. Double page spreaD
• To emphasis the idea of control and being
‘plugged in we stuck on end of a wire onto
Kaya’s head and used make-up to make it look
like a real wound.
4. Double Page sPreaD
• We tried some shots with her looking at the camera but they made for an awkward image.
5. Double Page sPreaD
• We also tried a range of high angles to emphasis the vulnerability of the character.
• The objects in the background were very distracting and took away from the image.
6. Double Page sPreaD
• Portrait doesn’t work
as a layout as Double
Page Spreads are
always landscape.
• So we cant use these
images.
8. suPPorting image
• We will edit out the background
so only the wire is and mouse are
visible but the hands will remain
inside the image.
• The text will kern around the
wire and mouse.
9. newsPaPer aDvert
rough sketch
• This is an idea I drew for the newspaper advert.
• The computer for a head represents the fact that we are governed by social
media.
• The channel 4 logo will
go on the right hand side
in the middle of the
page.
• Text box with information about the
• Website of channel 4
documentary (time and date).
10. Newspaper advert
• In order to execute this we will take a photo of a person standing up right.
• Then, using ‘Photoshop’ we will edit an image of a
computer monitor over the persons head.
