When makingmy magazine,Itook several photographsforthefront cover,
contents page,and doublepagespread.Thesearethereasons I chose not touse
some of the photographs-
Blurry photographs-
Someof thepictures Iused cameout slightlyblurry,such as the picturesI took
forthe contents pageforthe festival pageas when wetook these picturesthe
peopleinitwere walkingforward and thereforequitea fewof the shots cameout
a littleblurry.Also,someof these
picturesI used forthe festival partof
the contents pagewerenot suitableas
some of themwere shot too closeor too
faraway and included peoplewhowe
didn’twant inthe photoas we took
them ata festival.I did notuse these
photographsas Ithought this would
makeour magazinecomeacross as
unprofessional and this maydeterour audiencefrombuyinga magazinethatis not of ahigh standard and
quality and the audiencemaythink this will reflectthecontent. It is alsoimportantthat picturescome out
clearso the audienceknow the subjectof the picturesand what they arerepresenting.
Thisis the pictureI decided touse formy contents pageas we thought it
was of good quality,a good angleand represented ourtarget audiencedue
to the factit is quitea natural funpicture.We alsothought it was a good
pictureto use as the lightingcameoutperfectly,thepictureis clearand the
modelsarenot too closeor too faraway. Theotherpeopleinthe
background alsogive the picturean atmosphericfeel whichis the typeof
mood we wanted to achievefor our youngstudent demographic.
2. Thisis the pictureI used as oneof thearticles formy doublepagespread.Ichosethis picturedueto the fact
I thought itwas of good qualityand I thoughtthe lighting
was good
I decided nottouse these pictures of students which I would have used for the interviewson my doublepage
spread as I thoughtthey werenot of good quality as someof themare blurryand the lightingistoo
dark/bright.Also,insomeof these pictures thestudents aren’t lookingatthe cameraand thereforeyou can’t
see theirfaces so I didn’tusethese picturesas I didn’twant ittoo lookunprofessional.
4. Thisis a pictureI used forone of the articleson the doublepagespread whichIused as I thoughtthe angleof
the picturewas good as you can see the DJ and the crowd behind themso I thought this would have a good
effecton thereader.
Thisis the pictureI used formy mainimageforthe frontcover as I reallyliked thelightingasI thought it
added tothe enthusiastic atmosphereof thepicture.Althoughsome aspectsof thephoto areblurrysuch as
the mainsingerof the KaiserChiefsI thought this had a greateffectas it shows the action of the picture
which relatesto our young enthusiastic studentaudience.Its alsoa greatpictureto use for thefront cover as
most students areinterested in music concerts which grabsthe reader’s attentionand persuadesthem to
buy the magazine.
