Sulymaan Hameed chose two backgrounds for his final pieces that clearly showed a foreground, middle ground, and background. This would allow him to easily photoshop his portraits into the images following the rule of thirds. Taking inspiration from Eugenia Loli, he decided galaxy images would make good backgrounds and add complexity to the photos. However, two other background images were declined - one with a red tint restricting additions, and another that was too complex to photoshop over.

For the second spread, close-up shots of both musicians incorporating fun props like flowers or confetti will be taken against a white backdrop. Post-shoot editing plans include adjusting brightness, reducing noise, adding glow, and smoothing skin. Contingency plans are also provided in case of changes to lighting or model availability.
The document provides instructions for using various software tools to edit documents, images, and create designs. It includes over 30 steps describing how to use tools in Excel, Photoshop, Publisher, and Word to perform tasks like merging cells, adding graphics and text, adjusting colors and lighting, selecting and cutting out objects, and more. The tools and techniques covered allow for organizing information, representing data visually, designing page layouts, editing photographs, and creating advertisements.
The document summarizes four drafts of an advertising photoshoot. [1] The first draft features a model holding a perfume bottle in a simple pose to convey elegance. [2] The second draft changes the product from perfume to fashion due to weather preventing an outdoor shoot, and crops the image close to the model. [3] The third draft moves the model higher in the frame to reduce empty space. [4] The fourth draft moves the advert title to the top of the image to utilize empty space created by the model's pose.
The document outlines 4 drafts of an advertisement. The 1st draft features a close-up pose of a model promoting rosé lipstick. The layout places the title and product on the left. The 2nd draft changes the pose based on target audience feedback. The 3rd draft crops the 2nd draft for a closer face shot. The 4th draft does not place the title on the left due to a new pose and instead advertises perfume based on target audience feedback.
Draft 1 summarizes the editorial pillars and layout for a magazine contents page. It discusses using a bold font for the pillars to catch attention, and a collage layout for the table of contents using relevant images. Draft 2 further develops the layout by making the frames appear hung with string for a 3D effect, and adding musical notes to represent the magazine's content.
2. Planning for Double Page Spread 1’s
Image
I will be taking two separate pictures for Hannah and Louisa to show their different lives
Model Hannah Sewell and Louisa Tooth
Camera height/angle/distance Hannah: the camera will be at a high angle/ long-shot
Louisa: eye-line/ Medium-shot
Location Hannah- inside the house, on the pink carpet. Or on the stairs
Louisa- inside the house by the white wall, or sitting on the chair
Lighting/Macro/Flash I will take the picture underneath the down lighter to make the lighting
seem like a spotlight. I will not use flash, because flash inside will make
the picture look unprofessional. I will make sure that we are in a room
where there is natural light.
Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume) They will be using the same costumes as they did for the front cover
Props:
Hannah: she will be holding a guitar
Louisa: holding a music sheet
Background I want to make it seem as if we are interviewing them in their own
homes, and watching them work (make music in their separate houses)
Hannah: will have the pink carpet and the background of the living
room, as it is a long-shot
Louisa: she will be preferably on the chair with a medium-shot (only her
with a slight background, with her legs slightly cropped off) she will have
the white walls behind her with the book shelf.
3. Continued….
Attempted connotation (what you’re trying to show through the Hannah: Hannah talks about just loving her music, therefore I’m trying to
costume, models, etc….) how much music means to her
Louisa: a glamorous life
Planned denotation (what you see when you look at the front cover) Hannah: I want to show a calm and fun environment
Louisa: I want to show Louisa’s focus
Contingency (in case of model absence/weather) If the lighting doesn’t work for the both of the sets, then I will just bring
them back to the white sheets on the cupboard, and then change the
lighting after
Alternate angle Hannah: if the high shot doesn't work, then I would preferably use an
eye-level shot, but keeping everything at a medium-shot level, because I
need to show her whole body to be able to add text.
Louisa: I can use a high angle, and, or a long-shot to show the whole body
Thinking points: I must make sure that the background does not have too many different colours in the background, I want mainly white or pink,
because it will be very hard to add text on top of the picture if I need to.

4. Photography Explanations
• Aperture- will be at ƒ/11, because there will be
lots of natural light on the musicians, therefore
the iris doesn’t need to be large
• Shutter Speed- will be handheld at 160, because
the musicians will be in still positions, therefore,
the shutter doesn’t need to be fast to capture the
image
• ISO- will be low at 200, because there is lots of
natural light, therefore the sensitivity must be
lower to avoid noise in the picture
5. Decisions on Double Page Spread 1’s
Hannah
10% 40%
Image 10% 40%
• Firstly, I short-listed these four images, using this criteria: if there was enough space around Hannah, for text, and just
showing character
• I then asked 20 teenage girls to choose one of the picture on the basis of what they thought looked most professional, and
looked fun. They picked the 2nd and 4th picture as their favourite on the basis of this criteria. However, because they are both
of equal percentage at 40%, I have picked the 2nd image from the left because, the 4th image’s background looks to close to
the front cover. Also, I wanted something completely different, and plus I wanted the living room in the background
6. Louisa Continued….
10% 50% 10% 30%
• Firstly, I short-listed my four images on the theme of fun and focus, so I have picked two for focus and two for fun
• I then asked 20 teenage girls to pick the picture that they would normally see on a magazine, and they came up with the 2 nd
picture from the left at 50%
• This picture is also fits into the way I had planned the shot which is in the planning table on the slides 2 and 3. as it shows
Louisa focusing on her music, with the chair and with a bit of the house interior in the background.
7. Basic Photoshop Tools for Editing
Hannah Louisa
• I will use brightness, • Again I will use brightness
contrast because the and contrast, as the
picture is slightly dark picture is slightly dark
• I will reduce the noise • The same thing with
and then sharpen to give Hannah's picture, I will
more detail use the quick selection
• I will then use the quick tool, and blur the
selection tool and select background so Louisa is in
the background and blur the centre of focus
it, so Hannah is the centre
of focus
8. Planning for Double Page Spread 2’s
Image
Model Hannah Sewell and Louisa Tooth
Camera height/angle/distance Eye-line and close-up
Location Inside house/studio
Lighting/Macro/Flash This will be shot where the white sheet is, therefore, there will be
nautral light due to the window above the sheet, as well as down
lighters
Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume) They will wear the same costumes that they have worn from the
front cover
Props- I must go for a fun theme, therefore I can use flowers, glitter,
confetti or sweets
Background The background will be the white sheet hung up on the cupboard,
but if the background needs a change in colour, I can change this on
photoshop
9. Continued….
Attempted connotation (the secondary meaning of the picture e.g. I am trying to show elegance from the way they pose, as well as
home- warmth, comfort, affection) demonstrating the theme of fun
Planned denotation (the direct meaning e.g. poodle is the When my target audience look at the images, they will see the two
denotation for a dog breed) musicians having fun or just posing
Contingency (in case of model absence/weather) If the lighting above the sheet does not help to create a professional
picture, then I will take the picture outside, in complete natural
lighting
Alternate angle If the close-up does not work, then I will take medium-shot picture,
as this will still help me to capture the theme of playfulness
Thinking Points: I must make sure that the background does not have too many different colours in the background, I want mainly white or
pink, because it will be very hard to add text on top of the picture if I need to.

11. Decision on Double Page Spread 2’s
Image
60% 10% 30%
• Firstly, I short-listed the pictures through the criteria I made: thi is on the
theme of playfulness and elegance
• I then asked 20 teenage girls to choose a picture that they thought went
with the theme of playfulness and elegance, and they chose the 1st picture
from the left
• This is a good picture, as the lighting and the medium close-up shot make
the picture seem very professional, as well as there being different levels
with the poses, and creating a bigger enough space between them, so the
picture fits the whole page
12. Basic Tool’s for Editing
• They will mainly need brightening and
contrasting, but not too much, as the natural
lighting makes the picture seem professional
• I will also add a glow, because this will create a
glossy appearance, which would attract my
target audience
• I will also be using the healing and spot tool or
even the smudge tool for the musician’s skin,
eyes and for the background
