2. Photo Selection contents page
I chose this photograph
because I really like the split
lighting and my model’s
expression because she is
clearly engaged with the
camera.
I chose this photograph because I
liked the angle and I liked how
clearly you can see the headphones.
I chose this image because I really like
how the right hand is blurred
I chose these 2 photographs because I love the mise en scene and
I feel like they will make my contents page look a lot more
professional because they have concert lighting.
I really like this photo because of
my model’s makeup and I think it
could look good on the contents
page

4. On each image, I used the shadow
and highlight tool to make them
clearer. I then used the brightness and
contrast tool to add depth to each
photo and make my photographs look
more pop/professional.

5. I made my contents page on
Photoshop. I used the text box tool
to insert all of my text and changed
the font colours to work with my
images. I used the shape tool to
insert my banners and the place
tool to insert my photographs. I
made sure that I had my masthead
in the top right hand corner to
create a sense of branding.

7. Feedback

8. I played with the hue of my photographs
to make them all a bit more purple
toned to match my new colour scheme
which I created with the paint bucket
tool. I also increased the levels of blue in
the photos to make a sense of house
style.

9. Teacher Feedback:

10. I used the rulers to make
sure everything is
equally spaced out and
aligned with each
element
I inserted an image of my
front cover into my
subscription box to show
what it advertises visually.
I extended my
banner all the way
across the page and
put the date and
issue number in it so
that it has a clear
function.
I moved my
selfie closer to
my name to
make it clear
that it’s the
editor in the
photo.
I got rid of the ‘p’ in
front of each number
as I felt it was already
obvious what the
numbers were for.
