Ancillary planning pp
The document discusses planning for ancillary products like a poster and magazine to promote a soap opera. Photos were taken of the main characters in front of a green screen to allow flexibility in the backgrounds. The poster features the character Archie with his two girlfriends, Sambuca and Bella, to show that he "rules" over them. Sambuca is portrayed as provocative while Bella looks innocent and angry. Individual shots of each were selected to depict their personalities. An alternative group photo was considered but separate shots were chosen instead. The magazine cover features a murderer, Mark, in close-up to draw attention to his evil expression.
Image manipulation
This document summarizes the editing process of an image for a double page spread. The original raw image is on the left and the manipulated image inserted into the double page layout is on the right. Guidelines were used to crop unneeded spaces and follow design principles. Brightness, contrast, and hue/saturation techniques were applied to lighten the dull grey background and make the image and skin more vibrant. The cropped mid-shot focuses only on the model's face to portray provocation but also innocence from her clothing, drawing inspiration from example images of provocative but glowing poses of singers Rihanna and Taylor Swift.
Final photo analysis
This document contains opinions on potential placements and uses of photographs in a hip-hop music magazine. Several photographs are proposed for the front cover, contents page, double page spreads, and advertisements. Locations are suggested for portraits of individual artists and action shots showing artists performing. Photographs are selected based on visually representing the hip-hop genre through clothing, backgrounds and props, as well as telling stories about the subjects through their expressions and positioning.

3) For the table of contents, the main feature image shows two models laughing and making direct eye contact, conveying an enjoyable tone for readers.
4) The double page spread image is landscape, showing a model and motorcycle in light against a dark background, coming across as mysterious compared to other direct eye contact images.
Presentation on images
This document discusses image ideas and poses that the author intends to recreate for their indie music-themed content. They analyze several photos, including a band shot that could work for their contents page due to the casual clothing. They also like a full-band cover photo that would target their specific audience and a relaxed high-angle shot showing different audiences can enjoy indie music. The author wants to use poses like those seen in magazine layouts that have one focal image followed by secondary images.
Analysis of images took
Charlie Canterbury took images for their magazine to make the models look like professional models and give the magazine a sophisticated, realistic look. For the front cover, Charlie made the image black and white to fit the R&B style of the magazine and engage readers by making them question why it was black and white. On the contents page, Charlie included two photos, one side-on but facing forward and a close-up of the face, to engage readers through direct address and express that the text is aimed at them. For the double page spread image, Charlie airbrushed the whole image to make the model look professionally edited by adding and enhancing shadows.
Photos for our front cover
1) The document discusses photos taken of a male model for the front cover of a magazine.

Photoshoot - Photo Analysis
This document discusses photos that will be used in a magazine. It explains that the front cover photo will be a mid-shot of the artist to fill most of the frame and attract attention. Internally, one photo shows the top of the artist's legs to feature her on one page while leaving space for text. Another internal photo shows the artist tilting her head and shaking her hair to provide a new perspective. Varied poses and angles between the photos are intended to sustain reader interest and prevent repetitiveness.

Varied photos of the artist sitting and standing help make the magazine feel more interesting and real.
Double Page Spread Steps
The document discusses the process and choices made in creating a double page magazine spread featuring an artist. It describes using two photos - a close-up and long shot - to showcase the artist being crowned as "Queen of Hip-Hop". Fonts and colors were kept consistent to make elements stand out. Some difficulties arose in editing the images and finding the best layout. The stages of production involved placing the artist's name first, then adding images and text, establishing the layout before finalizing all elements.

The document compares images from the author's magazine to real music magazines. Both the author's front cover and a Lady Gaga cover feature the artist in the center obstructing the masthead with their name written across. Double page spreads in both magazines feature the artists looking away from the camera, which the author found to be a common convention. Contents pages in both magazines feature a large central image from another article surrounded by smaller images representing other features.

- 2. IMAGE.IMAGE. I used my image right across the two pages, but I took this photo in a certain way, to Ensure that Alys was clearly seen on the right hand side, and the wall and graffiti to the Left of her was covered with my article. I wanted her here so that she was clear and not Covered in writing so the reader can focus on her and the article seperately. From my Research I noticed that the reader first notices the image, and so if I made this clear And noticable then they are also likely to read my article. PULL QUOTESPULL QUOTES. I have used two pull quotes within my article, and I made them bigger than the article Writing so that they would stand out, and catch the readers eye, making them want to Read more about the artist. I have also included a small advertisement at the bottom Of the image, to encourage them to buy her new album. ARTICLEARTICLE I wanted to attract the audience by letting them directly hear from the artist, so I chose To do an interview, as I thought that the reader would prefer to hear directly from the Artist themselves, using informal language that they can relate to and feel relaxed while Reading. I thought that my audience would get bored and stop reading if it was just Simply a write up on the artist, but they may feel more of a sense of communication if It is written in this format.
