EVAULATION OF MY PRODUCT

I think my product could possibly compare well to a professional product, as from the questionnaire I found out what types of magazines they read and used the top answer to help me with the layout of my magazine. For example in my magazine I included a sky line at the top of the magazine front cover, as many of the kerrang magazines have a sky line which usually advertise something that people can win, something they can win in the magazine, or an important article that is included in the magazine, which I involved in my magazine. I also included a strap line in my magazine at the bottom of the front cover which was also about another article in the magazine. I also placed the main stories head line across the main picture in the magazine which is what they have on every kerrang magazine. I also made sure that my magazines main image was large are powerful the same as karrang do. I have also kept to a four colour scheme have used the same colours as karrang does, black white red and yellow, this will help my TA feel that this magazine it like what they would usually read which is karrang.

I think my magazine has an emotional impact in the picture, as I think that it is a powerful image, as I am trying to make her look ill from drug use. I did this so that people would wonder why she looks like she does, and to feel either feel sorry for her or angry that she let herself look the way she does.

In my questionnaire I asked people what magazines they mostly read and most people said kerrang and because I have used the same layout as kerrang I think this will attract my TA as they will think it will be the same as the magazine that they usually read. Also the on the front cover I included information that there will be free posters inside so this will make the TA want to buy the magazine if they like the bands who are on the posters. Also my main article is about drugs and because I have realised that many teenagers have taken drugs and not realised the consequences.

I asked Lisa Wilkinson what she thought about my projected and her advice was ‘I should have made the back ground of my main image a colour that would fit in to the colour scheme I picked’ now that it has been pointed out to me I realise that it does my magazine look a bit disorganised as the back ground is grey and my colour scheme is black, white, red and yellow.

If I were to do my project again I would have managed my time more carefully, and would of planned out my project in more detail. For example I would of tried to find the actual font that karrang use on their magazine to make mine look more realistic. I would also have made the backdrop a different colour when I was taking my pictures

UNIT 3 PROJECT PICTURES FOR MAGAZINE

first person second and third narrative

In this image I have used the heeling tool to make Zoë's face looks more clear as she was covered in spots, to use this tool you have to click once at a time to make sure that it doesn't make the skin complexion look disorientated. I have also liquified her face, this gives her face a thinner looks, I adjusted her nose to make it look slimmer and also her face and chin to make to her face look more attractive.

shutter speed experiments

to produce this picture i set my cameras shutter speed to 0.8", this makes the shutter speed take longer to close so that it captures the light that we are experimenting with. 

in this picture to produce the heart we had to make the shutter speed slower to make sure that we got the full image in. we changed the shutter speed up to 6" which makes the cameras shutter speed slower so that it was easier to capture this picture.

in this picture we tried to write our names with the torch and we put the shutter speed up to 8" which makes it longer to take the picture and this helped us capture some of the writing we was trying to achieve.
