This document discusses several images chosen for a fashion spread and magazine covers. For each image, the document analyzes how technical elements like focus, composition, and color meet the intentions of clearly showing outfits, attracting attention to key elements, and representing the magazine's themes. The target audiences and how the images would appeal to them are also addressed. Overall, the images are assessed as successfully conveying the necessary information and intentions for the fashion spreads and magazine covers.

1. Do my all my images meet my intentions?

2. Fashion Spread

3. This is the image I have chosen for my fashion spread, it shows the models outfit
very clearly as the model is sharply in focus. The background of the image is out of
focus so we can clearly see depth of field in the image, the model is making direct
address with the audience clearly, this makes the audience feel more involved. The
way she is propped up on the railing is very interesting and brings in the use of the
environment in the photograph. The environment goes well with my theme of
gender reversal because the place she is
in is somewhere the opposite gender could
possibly hang out. The text I used for the
description of clothing is Myriad Pro, this text
is very simple so it doesn’t detract anything from
the main image. The text is in 10pt size, this is
a code and convention of fashion spreads as it is
well-known that this is the size of this text next to
the image of the model and that is why I used it,
it is probably very common because the text is
the perfect size where it is small enough to not
take attention away from the image but isn't too
small so that the audience cannot read it .
Overall I think this image meets my intentions.

4. This is the image I have chosen for my photo-shoot, the model is sharply in focus so
the audience can clearly see the whole outfit. The jacket of the model is pushed to
the back so we can clearly see her top & over shirt, which is the whole outfit. The
model will be cropped out of the image so that it is portrait. The colours of the
image are mainly on the model, so that she is the first thing that attracts our
attention. The background is rather grey and blends together which doesn’t take our
attention away from the main point of the
image. The model in this image isn’t
making direct address with the audience
which makes her seem more dominant in the
image. This is a good feature. The image
meets my intentions because the text is small so that
it doesn’t detract from the actual image. The
image is very interesting and meets my
intentions, the image focuses very much so
on the model which is good for a fashion
spread.

5. I have chosen this image because of how interesting technically the image actually is.
Firstly, the camera shot size is a canted low angle. This is a very difficult camera shot
to execute but I believe I did it well. The low angle gives the model dominance & the
direct address works well in this image. The canted angle works because the model is
leaning back and the camera makes it appear as if we are leaning with her. This shot
angle also shows more of the models outfit, which is important as the purpose of the
image is for it to be a fashion shoot. The model also has the cardigan open in this
image so we can see the grey shirt
underneath, the beanie hat compliments this
shirt, making the outfit look good.
The image is very interesting because of the low
angle shot, the mise en scene of the image is
perfect for what I am trying to convey to the
audience, which is gender reversal and how
women can look good in males clothes.

6. I have chosen this image as it is the most interesting out of my photo-shoot. The angle
used is an over the shoulder but the model is making direct address with the
audience. The model is not centred in this photograph but she is sharply in focus so
she is the first thing we look at. The rest of the image is clearly out of focus, showing
depth of field as we go down the ramp. The whole outfit of the model including the
shoes can be seen in this shot, this is very important as it is a fashion shoot for
clothes, so the audience needs to see the clothes primarily.
The colour red stands out predominantly in this image, it is very important as it makes
it so we look at this first, the audience will do
this because the rest of the image is neutral colours. The title is perfect for conveying
the meaning of my
fashion spread. The male gender
O symbol in the women perfectly
represents the theme of my
magazine, the blue colour also has
connotations of masculinity. The
white stands out very well and the
text below the title works very well
as the blue drop cap allows the
audience to see it clearly.

7. Front Covers

8. This image was chosen for my magazine front cover because of the direct address of
the model. Also his actions looks as if he is very serious about prom, the action of
pulling up his trousers is also very suave and adds to the image. The text on the image
is very good because the red is easy to read and stands out so the audience’s eyes will
be drawn to it and then they can read the text below. The title Fun is also red so it can
be seen easily and also so it fits with the colour theme of the magazine. The audience
of the magazine
is teenagers, so the model had to be a teenager
so it would fit with the theme. The model also
had to look very smart and well dressed to pull
off the theme of this magazine being around
‘Prom.’ The model has been cut out of the
background so that he stands out more against
the white, the top left of the white has been
slightly darkened to give it some differentiation.
The image has also been edited in terms of
brightness & contrast so that the model stands
out more and looks the best he possibly can.

9. This image was chosen for the front cover of my party themed magazine. I believe the
image meets my intentions because of how the model looks. She clearly looks as if she
is having a good time because of her smile. The models pose of brushing her hand
through her hair also works well as it shows off the mise en scene of her outfit, there
is a fishnet glove on her hand which signifies a kid of rock / punk theme, this is how
people would generally dress if they were going to a rave, it is extremely colourful and
connotes fun. The text is similar to
every other magazine cover so that there is a
general theme that runs throughout and so that
it is very easily so read the coverlines. The
magazine has met its intentions also because
of how it would appear to its target audience,
it looks like fun and would provoke teenagers to
buy it because of the model on the front and
possibly because of the enticing cover lines.

10. I chose this image for the cover of my music themed magazine. The image works well
because the model is making direct address with the audience and his mise en scene
suggests he is a teenager which is the target audience of this specific magazine. All the
cover lines are also relevant to a teenage audience so that they would be interested in
the article and consider buying the magazine. Even the title of the magazine has
connotations of teenage life, this is so that teenagers feel inclined to buy it. The cover
lines are also easy to read and stand out well on the white background. I feel as
though this finished
product meets my intentions because it can
persuade teenagers to want to buy the magazine.
The image has also been edited in terms of
contrast & brightness so that it is more pleasing
and looks more professional. The contrast
brings out the more vivid colours which is
good because I believe it brings more attention
to the brown guitar which should be quite
noticeable and make the theme of the magazine /
a lot more clear.

11. I chose this image for the cover of my technology magazine. The image works well for
my intentions because the phone in clearly viewable by the audience so they will
know that it is the main point of this issue. The mise en scene of the image works
because the models facial features clearly represent that she is in a phone call she
wants to get out of, which lots of teenagers experience with their mothers. The
coverlines are also extremely relatable to the teenage audience. This is so that the
audience will feel inclined to buy the magazine. The clothing of the model in this
photograph is bland which is
good so it doesn’t detract any attention away
from the main point of the image.
Overall I believe this image meets my
intentions because of the mise en scene of the
image and how the cover lines relate to the
theme of the issue.
