Front Cover Production
The document summarizes a photographer's process in taking photos for a magazine cover shoot of a band. The photographer took several test shots with different compositions and backgrounds before finding an arrangement they felt best reflected the band's fun personality in a more professional layout. They settled on an image with all band members on a sofa prop against a plain blue background, using their expressions and added props to convey a busy, fun and adventurous atmosphere for the cover.
Practise of different photo shots
The document discusses three different photo shots - a dirty shot, reflection shot, and lead shot. For the dirty shot, the model is too far away and there is too much headroom, making the focus unclear. For the reflection shot, the background could be changed to draw more attention to the model. And for the lead shot, there is too much headroom, which makes it seem like something may fall on the subject; less headroom would improve clarity.
Photoshoot
The document summarizes photos taken of a local band called "The Goodtimes" for use in a magazine. Several black and white photos are discussed, with one photo chosen as most suitable for a double page spread. The chosen photo clearly shows all band members while still keeping them close, fitting conventions of a double page spread image.

Music magazine draft_and_photos_chosen
The document discusses photo shoot plans and choices for images to use on the front cover of a music magazine. The author planned to use a close-up portrait but did not because the quality was poor, the model's face was hidden, and part of the arm was cut off. Instead, the chosen image is further back with the model's full body visible against a plain colored background, representing an upcoming artist.
Researched photographers natalia pereira
Natalia Pereira is a Spanish photographer and graphic designer whose diverse body of work stands out. The author was drawn to Pereira's work, particularly a photo that distorts a model's face with elastic for a dramatic yet simple effect. Another photo the author likes is an advertising campaign shot featuring sugar skull-inspired makeup with a modern twist. A third photo repeats images to create interesting shapes open to interpretation. Pereira's innovative use of the body and image manipulation provide inspiration for the author's own project.

- Weaknesses: Risk of unintentional plagiarism if not careful. Secondary research lacks context.
Questionnaires:
- Strengths: Gathered quantitative data from a large sample quickly.
- Weaknesses: Data was broad and didn't provide rich context. Responses may not be accurate.
Interviews:
- Strengths: In-depth qualitative data through open-ended questions.
- Weaknesses: Time consuming. Quality depended on interviewee knowledge/engagement.
Presentation photos unedited and edited
The document summarizes the edits made to several photographs from a photo shoot. For one photo of a musician at a live gig, edits were made to make it black and white and increase contrast to look more like a studio shot. Another long shot photo from a gig was de-saturated to emphasize the lighting and shadows. A third photo was given a neon effect to make it stand out. Edits were also made to several nature photos to make them look more mysterious or soft and natural.

Task 1 work sheet 2 (1) finished
The document discusses photographer Daniel Harris' work documenting the British rock band Darlia on their 2013-2014 tours. The photos aim to capture the essence of the band naturally, showing them backstage and on stage. Some photos solely feature the frontman Nathan Day to portray him as the band's focal point. The photographer uses filters to give the photos a vintage look and depth of field to draw the eye. His strengths are the natural feel, point of view shots, and use of filters, while a weakness is extraneous objects left in frames.

The document summarizes a photographer's series of crystal photographs. Each crystal photograph represents a different mood or emotion, such as love or the sea. The main focus of the photographs is the crystals, which are prominently featured alone with no other objects in the frame. The compositions are similar, with closely shot details of each crystal on a plain background. The photographs were edited to look sharp and enhance colors in a melted or connected way, likely using Photoshop. The strengths include each photo having a meaningful theme that many can relate to and the use of bold colors, while a weakness is not including descriptions of each photo's meaning.
Photos slide
The document discusses photos taken by Asiya Mallu for a reggae music magazine. Several photos were not used for various reasons such as being landscape orientation, having an out of focus background, or duplicating a model already used. Other photos were used in specific sections like the contents page, double page spread, or front cover because they featured a close-up, direct eye contact, or followed magazine conventions through a mid-shot at an angle.
Photo shoot contact sheets
The document discusses contact sheets from photo shoots for a music magazine. It describes shoots with a musician named Tyler, where some images were taken at his gig with existing lighting, and others in Chester city center locations chosen by their band The Jigsaws. For the Jigsaws shoot, the early images had lighting issues but improved, and the subjects wore clothes they would normally wear. Selected images from the Jigsaws shoot were edited in Photoshop and one image incorporating Chester and the soft rock theme was chosen for the magazine cover.
Photo shoot!
Laura chose Heaton Woods as her first photo shoot location because she felt the outdoor, woodland setting would provide a different vibe for her indie music magazine compared to other genres that typically shoot in studios. This location allowed her to pose her model to look innocent against the natural lighting. For her second shoot, Laura used a home location so she could control the lighting and allow for easy outfit changes. She posed the model intentionally for shots she planned to use in the magazine. For her third location, Laura used a school to get more models and access those with busy schedules. The outdoor areas provided natural backgrounds fitting her magazine's style.
Production diary
The document summarizes the production process of a music magazine over 3 weeks. In week 1, the student created the masthead, strapline, barcode and one coverline for the front page. In week 2, the student created multiple sections for the contents page and continued the color scheme, repeating the masthead. Photos were added to the contents page linking to articles. In week 3, the student built a double-page spread in InDesign, linking and separating text boxes over two pages, and still needed to add photos, a title, and change the background color. Before and after photos showed enhancements like removing backgrounds and adding color filters to mimic stage lighting.
Original and final photos
The document discusses the selection of photos for the front cover and spreads of a rock music magazine. Several photos are evaluated based on their suitability for the genre, composition, lighting, and whether they effectively convey the mood and themes of rock music. In the end, one photo is selected for the cover based on the model's clothing representing the genre and her moody facial expression appealing to the target audience.
Street photography
Street photography captures candid, unposed moments occurring in public spaces. It aims to document everyday life and explore relationships between people and their surroundings. Successful street photos often capture a decisive moment, like someone jumping, to add impact. When taking street photos, photographers should be respectful by smiling, asking permission, and avoiding invading privacy. Certain subjects, like homeless people, require consideration of whether the photo benefits or exploits them. The photographer Rui Palha specializes in black and white street photography seeking soul and inspiration. The document discusses street photography techniques and ethics before analyzing some of the author's own street photos from London capturing performers, landmarks, and crowds.

Good and bad images
The document discusses techniques used in photography to direct the viewer's eye. It analyzes three images - one good, one very good, and one bad. The good image uses symmetry and blurred edges to focus the eyes on the biker's face. The very good image of a woman uses rule of thirds, high contrast, and eye line to draw the viewer into her face. The bad image is unfocused, lacks a point of interest, has cluttered edges, and fails to use compositional techniques to guide the eye.
5) photographs analysis 2
The document discusses photograph selection and analysis for different elements of a music magazine, including the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, a clear photo of Katy Perry's face was chosen over another option where her face was not fully visible. For the contents page, a photo showing the full model was selected instead of one where parts were cut off. And for the double page spread, higher quality photos of Katy Perry performing and fans were picked for visibility and to help tell the story. Photograph quality, visibility, and suitability for the purpose were prioritized in all choices.
Organising
The document provides details about a photography student's plans to photograph a band for an alternative music magazine. It outlines that the student will stage the photos in their college music studio due to available equipment and ability to control lighting. Costumes will have a casual, alternative style. Props will include guitars and drums. The student's camera and 18-55mm lens will be used. Photos for the cover, contents page, and double-page spread are described as close-ups, action shots, and emphasizing individual personalities respectively.
Edited photgraphy
This document discusses editing three photographs for potential use in marketing a horror film. For the first photo, the editor cropped and changed the temperature to give a cool, blue tone that conveys a sense of something being cold and heartless. For the second photo, the editor added soft focus and darkened the contrast and saturation to make the image appear dull and signify that the film is not associated with happiness or joy. Scratches were also overlaid to indicate the horror genre. The third photo was cropped and had highlights and shadows adjusted to focus on the victim's face which captures fear, drawing the reader in and making them interested in the film.
Nick pickles (music)
This document summarizes and analyzes the photography work of Nick Pickles. It discusses the themes, compositions, techniques, and strengths/weaknesses of 6 images by Nick Pickles. The main theme across the images is musicians and singers at concerts or festivals. The compositions generally center the subject. Techniques like similar shutter speeds and rule of thirds are used. The photos effectively capture people enjoying themselves, though some could benefit from less zooming in.
Photos
This document discusses photo options and choices for a magazine cover and spreads. The writer selected several photos of a female pop artist featuring good lighting, rule of thirds composition, and imagery representing her music genre, tour speakers, and softer calmer side to be exposed in an interview. The photos were chosen to effectively anchor cover lines and introduce related magazine contents.
Fashion spread And Magazine Covers
This document provides details from a student about images selected and edited for a fashion spread assignment. The student chose images that fit the theme of portraying teens in childish situations. The images were edited to enhance qualities like lighting, focus, and framing. Effects like selective saturation, toning, and cropping were used. The edits were intended to make the images look cool or stylish while still showing the subjects in childish settings, fulfilling the goal of conveying teens engaging in childish play.
Digi feed back
Focus group participants provided feedback on a digipak album design. Several participants liked the use of only two colors that grabbed attention and the negative space. One commented they liked how the male actor's photos subverted the male gaze. Suggested improvements included adding another review of the music video and making the negative images clearer. Participants felt the similar design of the digipak and advert showed continuity. They thought the simple design without much writing gave it an indie or edgy vibe that matched the music video genre. The contrasting colors and unusual color inversion would make them want to buy the album to see the genre.
Progress dps
The designer initially considered a photo booth layout with bloody frames for a double-page spread, but it seemed too gruesome and overwhelmed the interview. They then tried spacing three artists across the pages around the interview text, but positioning the female in the middle made her appear dominant. To improve the design, the designer changed the female image to lean away from the center and made the background darker to make the photos and text stand out more clearly.
Proof of original imagery
The document discusses the selection and editing of images for a magazine poster and layout. It provides reasoning for including or excluding various photos based on factors like posing, lighting, expression, style fit, and ability to incorporate graphic elements. Key images were chosen for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread due to qualities like eye contact, posture, persona portrayal, and lighting quality.

Image Manipulation
This is a brief slideshow outlining the various images I've edited for use in my AS Media Studies Coursework (creating a music magazine). I used Adobe Photoshop for editing and in this PowerPoint I outline the tools used, and how and why I used them.
Photography analysis
The document discusses the selection and annotation of photos taken for a music magazine project. The photographer provides reasoning for including and excluding various photos of bands and musicians. Photos were chosen or rejected based on lighting, composition, posing of subjects, background settings, and how well they represented the music genres. The ideal photos captured the essence of the musicians, had striking lighting and angles, and would catch readers' attention on the magazine pages.
why i chose my images
The document discusses the selection process for various images to feature in a music magazine. It describes choosing models based on their hair, style and appearance alongside different artists. Several images of potential models are considered and rejected for reasons such as facial expressions, positioning and lighting. Alternative locations are tested to vary the backdrops. The final images selected include close-ups of two models in a graveyard to feature on the contents page and double page spread, as well as group shots of models and solo shots of individual artists throughout the magazine. Locations, poses, appearances and professionalism were key factors in the decisions.
Evaluation of photos
The student took photographs for a music magazine during a college photography project. They tried different styles like "girl band look" and "acoustic look" at various locations. Their favorite setting was "The Three Sisters." They edited photos in Photoshop, adjusting brightness, colors, and applying filters. Two final photos are highlighted - one shows a guitarist in a tree, the other shows a model playing guitar with a blurred background. The student aims to improve by capturing more angles and editing more photos next time.
Development of ideas
The document describes the process of developing print productions for an album. Key points:
- Images were edited to intensify colors and crop out distractions to create a cohesive color palette and professional look.
- A photo of the actress from the music video was incorporated on the front cover to create an artist identity.
- Geometric shapes and layers were experimented with to create a minimal, symmetrical design taking inspiration from other album covers.
- Continuity across the covers was maintained through similar editing of multiple beach images and use of a consistent color palette. Different designs and elements were used to differentiate the inside and back covers while relating them through common themes.
Taking pictures
The document discusses photographs taken by the author for their magazine cover and double page spread. They took photos of the artist Kerry Glaysher, who was the focus, as well as other people to include in the magazine. The author evaluates four photos of Kerry Glaysher and explains why they chose one photo for the cover - they felt it had the best eye contact, background colors, and tone for the magazine.
Before and after photos
The document describes the process of creating photoshopped images for a band's digipak album packaging. Key steps included cutting out hands and band members from photos and layering them to create the illusion of the band balancing on a hand for the front cover. For the back cover, photos were layered and cropped with some flipped and colors manipulated. Individual band member photos were edited to emphasize different colors representing each personality. Additional inner images were created by resizing and relayering previously manipulated photos to link the designs and show the band more clearly standing on the hand. A symmetrical group photo was selected for an advertisement with added confetti effects to hint at the band's persona.
Production Process
The document describes the process of designing an advertisement for a music magazine. Several draft designs are discussed and changes are made based on feedback.

It describes taking close-up shots of faces to familiarize readers with subjects and using bright, clear images as main cover photos. Photos were edited to emphasize lipstick color, add glow effects, and lighten hair and faces. Mid-shots were taken to show body language and a smiling pose aims to portray women positively. Photos were cropped, darkened, lightened, and given sepia or black-and-white effects to attract readers' attention and portray subjects in different ways for various sections of the magazine.
Print: Production Reflection
This document summarizes the process of creating a magazine cover and double page spread focused on the band Shinedown. The creator wanted to incorporate the band's signature yellow and black color scheme. For the cover, they used a photo of their own guitar against a dark background. For the double page spread, they included the album cover, a photo of the band's lead singer Brent Smith in color on a black and white background, and used splattered ink patterns in yellow. They experimented with different fonts and layouts to draw attention to the band and make the pieces cohesive.

Young guns

Strobe lighting represents the fast tempo, while shots around corners and through doors add a voyeuristic element. The only color comes from fast flashes of orange and red, conveying that the band has a dark rock style but is not heavy metal. The band is perfectly synchronized with the music at one point, adding dramatic effect.
Animals

They include mammals like dogs and cats, birds like eagles and sparrows, fish like salmon and tuna, reptiles like snakes and lizards, amphibians like frogs and salamanders, and many other species.

Front Cover Production
- 1. Magazine front cover production
- 2. Photoshoot – Test shots This was one of the first images I took on the Photoshoot. My main aim was to get images that reflected the bands fun personality; seriousness was out of the question! This image isn’t busy enough, the expressions are too plain and the overall image just doesn’t work for me. This image is a completely different approach compared to the image on the left. This is more the style I was aiming for. Busy, fun, adventurous. I decided that I wasn’t too keen on having one member ‘out of the group’ as it seemed to break up the busy atmosphere below.
- 3. This was a follow up of the previous image., however this time I got all of the members on the sofa, which made the photo look really cramped and overall, uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable for the band and a good image couldn’t really be achieved. Before this image I had completely ignored the background! The plain blue background is defiantly an improvement to the image.
- 4. This image is the start of my more successful images. The layout of the members gives a more professional effect. The added props add fun, along with the expressions. I had another play around with the layout of the band. I decided to stick with this layout as it looks slightly more professional.
- 5. Photoshoot – final image
- 6. I chose a typeface which would be easily related to rock music. The decaying/urban style of this font was the perfect example. I was influenced by Kerrang!’s use of a skyline and decided to use one in my final product. I feel it again, helps to draw in the audience.
- 7. I decided that the blue background was not conventional of a rock magazine, and did not work very well. I did want to have some colour on my front cover, to help increase it’s appeal. The blue is neutral and is a very bright, eye catching colour, which also contrasts with the yellow.
- 8. I wanted the cover lines to be very bold, so I dramatically increased the size.
