2. Adobe InDesign C56
This is the program that I’ll be using to make my final magazine. Some
magazines in the real world use this software as it uses a professional
layout and is easy once you know how to use it. Also, it lets you set out
the pages in any way you want so they can look as professional as you
want e.g. columns of 3. The tools and layout of this software allows me
to create my magazine successfully so that it looks as professional and
pleasing as possible.
3. Adobe Photoshop C56
This is a software that I use to edit all of my photos from the different
photo-shoots to make them look more pleasing. It’s a great program to
use in order to remove a background from a picture so that it can fit
nicely on a page. Moreover, you can alter the colouring of an image to
make it lighter or darker to suit the colour scheme of your magazine.
The software is so easy to use for example if a model had shine or spots
on their face, I could simply use a tool to patch it up and their skin look
perfectly clear.
4. This camera is the one that I used to take all my pictures during my
photo-shoot in school, it was very simple to use as it’s easy to hold,
lightweight and I’ve used it before so knew how to use it. Obviously,
the camera is the most important piece of equipment this is why I
chose to use one which produces such high quality photos. There was a
memory card in the camera which stored all my photos on before I
transferred them over the computer.
Canon 5 50D Digital SLR
5. Canon zoom lens EF-S 18-55mm
1:35-5.6 IS II
For the camera, I used this lens which I attached to the end of the camera.
The camera is very lightweight and adding the lens to it didn’t effect the
weight therefore the camera was still easy to use. I used the lens to help
create even more high quality images the focused quicker and it helped me
to zoom in closer so that I could grasp every little detail of my models facial
expressions and clothes.
6. White and Black Screen
In order to add a more professional look to the photos that I took, I
used black and white screen backgrounds. This allowed my images to
focus on the model rather than the background. Also, this is very
helpful when I’m using the images on a plain page as I don’t need to
edit the backgrounds out.
Additionally, I used a textured background screen that was a brick wall
as it looked much better than a proper brick wall and it meant that I
could use the studio lights instead of a flash.
