The document provides details on planning a photoshoot for a magazine spread featuring a model named Poppy Casson. It includes notes on the shot type, lighting, editing, and selection of photos. One photo was chosen for the spread showing Poppy playing guitar on a bed in black and white. Post-editing involved converting to black and white, highlighting key features with color, and designing the layout in publishing software. Feedback was received on further refinements including positioning page numbers and credits to be less distracting.

Poppy is
glamourous pop
star who stays
true to her song
writing roots.

2. Photo Selection DPS
I discarded this photo because I don’t like how it cuts
off the top of my model’s head and I don’t like the tilt
down angle
I chose this photo because it has the perfect
amount of space for me to put my article and I
love how bright the model’s face looks
Although I love this photograph, I didn’t use it
because it doesn’t have enough space for me to
work with to put my article.
I don’t feel like my model is the focus of this
photo and that the green wall distracts from her
so I don’t want to use it.
I really like this photo however for my DPS, there
isn’t enough space to put my article over her.
I didn’t want to use this photo because the
lighting makes my model’s eyeliner look a bit
weird.

4. Having
duplicated my
layer, I used the
convert to
black and white
tool and
changed the
contrast until I
was happy with
the
photograph.
I then used
the eraser
tool to pick
out her lips,
eyes and
guitar as they
are the most
important
features of
the
photograph.
I used the quick
selection tool to
select the guitar
strap and used
the bucket tool
to make it more
vibrant.

6. Feedback

7. I used the scribble tool in Publisher to
make my article go around my
model’s shoulder and guitar to make
it look more professional. I also
realigned my text using the ruler to
ensure that when its printed, it falls to
the right of my page. I created my
page numbers using the circle tool
and made a drop cap for the
beginning of my article as is
convention in magazines.
Having
changed
my colour
scheme, I
changed
my model’s
lip colour
and also
her guitar
strap to be
purple.

9. Here, I rotated my
photo credit and put
it on the right of the
page to make it less
distracting to the
reader
I made my page
numbers smaller
and got rid of its
pink outline again
this is to make it
less distracting.
I moved my
masthead
to the left
of my page
number
I added a slug to my DPS so that my page would be easy to find for
a reader and to show that this is a feature article
