The document describes various experiments the author conducted in creating magazine pages and taking photos in a studio. It discusses testing different font sizes, color schemes, and layouts to see which options are most aesthetically pleasing and fit with the intended theme. Different software applications and tools were used to manipulate elements like brush styles and page designs. Angles for taking photos in a studio were also examined to minimize shadows and create a professional look. The overall goal was to experiment with visual design elements before finalizing an approach for the author's magazine.

2. Experiments
I like the colour scheme as the black and white makes it quite timeless, and also makes the green really
pop. However, I feel like its missing colour and isn't as aesthetically pleasing I would want it to be. Another
thing that I will do when I create my magazine is mess around with the fonts a bit more, for example where
I've done the competion on the side of the page I would enlarge the word WIN to make it stand out more.

3. Experiments
For this contents page I have gone for quite a
plain but aesthetically pleasing look. I
wouldn’t use this in my actual magazine as it
doesn’t fit in with my theme of magazine. For
my contents page in my magazine I want it to
look urban but this looks far too girly.
I used the app krita to create the contents
page. One feature krita has is a large
amount of different brush tools. It enabled
me to create the cool paint splat effect like
at the top of the page
To Stick to the colour scheme I have
used the same pink and blue for
the paint splats, writing and page
divider

4. Experiments
When taking photos in the studio its hard to get a
good angle where the shadow isn't in the picture.
To workout which is the best angle to take photos
from I have used a mannequin and a torch. After
trying holding the torch at different angles, by far
the best angle was straight forward. It blocks out
most shadows showing and gives it more of
a professional finish.
Side angle Straight forward Slightly high up angle Shone straight down

5. Experiments
When experimenting how different ways to layout my
double page spread I came up with this idea. I like how
the writing is all split apart and isnt too over whelming.
Id definitely use this sort of layout in my real magazine
as I feel aesthetically its quite nice to look at
