Taking photos behind a white screen makes the images stand out more, draws the reader's attention, and looks more professional. A white background allows for easier editing of colors and removal of distractions compared to other backgrounds. Most magazine covers and spreads use a white screen for these reasons, as it helps the photographs look polished and tailored for the publication.

Aaron Johnson created a magazine about a football team called Goal Sports. Gathering photos of matches was the most difficult part of the process. He attended two matches to get photos of the team, an individual player, and action shots. He was pleased with the photos he collected. For the front cover, Aaron designed a simple layout with the team name in purple text behind a football graphic. He refined the colors from a practice version. His first double page spread introduced the players with a team photo and names. The second featured player quotes and a starting lineup. Aaron designed one page in Photoshop and imported it into InDesign. The back cover kept a plain design with the team logo, awards, and social media links.

Brad Matthews Advanced Portfolio - Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses feedback received from a focus group on various design mockups and drafts. For the contents page, the focus group preferred a single page spread and liked colorful images, which led the creator to modify their design. For the billboard, feedback noted floating computer/tablets looked unrealistic, so they were adjusted. Individual comments on the front cover criticized colors and layout elements, which the creator addressed in the final piece to make it more appealing and professional.
Week 9.4
The goal is to recruit volunteers for a classroom in a professional manner. The audience is parents, guardians, and family members. The message is that volunteers are wanted and needed in the classroom, and only a simple background check is required to get involved. The document then describes key changes made to presentation materials to better convey a sense of being wanted or needed as a volunteer through modifications to images, fonts, colors and layout.

The goal was to resemble example magazine covers that provide informative overviews to help readers understand the magazine's content. Video games were chosen as the topic since it is enjoyable to read about and a topic many others would be interested in.
Band image manipulation
The document discusses image manipulation of a band photo for use on the cover of a media product. The raw photo was darkened, so the author increased brightness and added contrast to emphasize shadows and make elements like a ring and nail polish stand out. The author also cropped and resized the photo to focus only on the model's face and hands, engaging readers as seen on other magazine covers. Inspiration was drawn from another music magazine cover photo using a plain white background to focus on the artist and convey the indie/rock genre through similar styling of the model.

Research
Here are a few key things this book says about your target audience:
- They have an interest in photography as a hobby, not just professionally. So your book appealing to amateur photographers as well as professionals would be good.
- They have some disposable income and free time to dedicate to hobbies/self-improvement. So your content should provide value beyond just casual interest.
- Both men and women are interested in the topic, so your content and design shouldn't target one gender exclusively.
- A focus on practical techniques and skills, not just theory, would engage this audience that wants to improve their photography. Step-by-step tutorials or examples could work well.
- High production values

It also discusses camera types, resolution, color casts, and lens flares. The document then covers creating digital images through scanning, as well as manipulating images in Photoshop using layers, effects, and color correction tools.
1. research pp 1
The document provides research on existing magazine covers. It analyzes 3 magazines - a scuba diving magazine, surf magazine, and older magazine. It finds they commonly give the cover photo plenty of space with minimal text. They use contrasting colors so the title and text stand out without interrupting the photo. The research will inform the author's own magazine cover by giving the photo room, minimizing ads to focus on the topic, and including an action shot for the cover.
Media studies
This document analyzes magazine covers and layout techniques. It discusses how magazines use:
1) Celebrity images and grouping photos to draw attention and create a playful feel.
2) Consistent color schemes and professional formatting to appear mature.
3) Varied text sizes and fonts while maintaining consistency.
4) Teasers of article contents to interest readers.
Reconnaissance and ideas
This document discusses how the author took professional-looking photographs for a pop magazine using a photography studio setup with a white backdrop and screen, as well as high-key lighting and a Canon camera. This allowed the photos to look like those produced by top companies. Using a white backdrop also allowed the text on the front page to stand out and be easily viewed. Considering professional magazine photo conventions, the author shot images on a white screen and edited in a light blue background in Photoshop. This made the band featured stand out against the plain background due to their brightly colored clothing.
3. fmp production experiments
The document describes the process of editing mock magazine covers and spreads. It discusses 4 experiments with different styles and color schemes. For the first, bold colors were used to make lines pop. For the second, a pink color scheme was chosen. The third used a monochrome scheme based on feedback. The fourth used unconventional brown tones. Advantages and disadvantages of each approach are described, such as some styles being more appealing or legible than others. The reflection indicates the second cover and fourth spread experiments will influence the final product, which will use minimalism and monochrome styles with original photography.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Reconnaissance Research
- 2. Using a white screen will make the image look more professional and original. The colours will make the image stand out even more. As white is a bright colour it will make the image stand out and it will make the image draw the readers attention in because the image will be the first thing a reader would look at. The lighting and colour would also make the image look much better. If an image was not taken behind a white screen then it will make the image look less professional and it will make the image not look as good but taking a image behind a white screen will make the image look much better and it will look as if a skilled photographer has took the image. Another advantage of using a white screen is that it will make the artist face look clear so that it will be easy and clear to see their face. White Screen The locations used in existing and inspirational magazines is normally behind a white screen. Most magazine front covers, contents page and double page spread images are taken behind a white screen. There are a few reasons why their images are taken behind a white screen. One of the main reason is because the background colour could be changed much easily and the colours used can also be changed to suit the magazine. Another reason is that when you take an image behind a white screen the image would look much professional.
