The author selected various photographs for different sections of their magazine cover. For the front cover, they chose a photo of a girl posing with her hand on her hip wearing a purple dress to match the title color. They felt this image best represented their vision. For the double page spread, they worked with others to take a photo of a girl with amazing shadowing that looks like a professional shoot. They plan to layout text around her. For the couple photo, the first photo taken captured shadows making the subjects seem important, as they were smiling and looking like a real couple. They also liked another photo for the contents page. Finally, for the next issue photo, they picked one with all subjects smiling happily like a girl band,

2. Front Cover Photo
The photograph I decided to use for my
front cover is one similar to what I
wanted. A girl posed not looking at the
camera with her hand on her hip. I’m
also happy with what I made the girl
wear as she has purple in her dress,
which ties in with the title’s colour.
The one highlighted is the one that I
used and I’m very pleased with it, it is
the exact image I planned to have in my
head.
The other photos weren’t as good as the
one I chose because they didn’t look
professional enough and the shadowing
didn’t look good.

3. Double Page Photo
The photo I have chosen is the one with
the red line around it. I didn’t know how
to have the girl posed for the double
page spread but with help from my
photography planning and people I was
taking photos with I am very happy with
the outcome.
The shadowing on her looks amazing
and it’s my favourite photo that I have
taken so far in Media. I think it looks like
and actual photo shoot photograph.
The other two photos weren’t as
professional looking as this one and it
looks perfect for a double page spread
in a magazine. I’m going to position the
text so that it’s around her and have it in
3 columns to make it look as realistic as
possible.

4. Couples Photo
I didn’t take many photos for my
couple photo because the one I
have chosen was actually the first
one I took and I knew I wanted to
use it straight away. The shadows
on the back-drop make them seem
important and significant
somehow.
They are both smiling and look
happy to be together, like an actual
real life couple would and that’s
why I have decided to use the
photo highlighted.
I am however going to feature the
top left one on my contents page
along with the one highlighted
because I do like that one equally
as much.

5. Next Issue Photo
The photo I have decided to use is
my favourite photo because they’re
all smiling and happy, which is what
I would picture a girl band to look
like. I positioned them in a girl band
style pose to make it more realistic.
The fact they’re all wearing different
types of clothes stands out and
makes them seem individual and
you notice them.
The top right photo is also a good
photograph but it didn’t look
professional enough to me. I
especially like the shadows on the
highlighted picture and that is what
gives it a realistic look.
