This week is half term and for this reason I chose to come into college on Thursday 20th to do some more work due to not being able to access Photoshop and InDesign at home.
I used this time to continue working on my contents page and add small features to my double page spreads such as page numbers.
Here is the current appearance of my contents page, I have added more images which are relevant to what features in the magazine to give the readers an insight.
I also arranged to meet Nicola on Saturday 22nd who is my model for Diets. Dangerous or Delightful? This photoshoot was done at her house and I feel it was very successful. I was successful in gathering the images I wanted which included some of her looking happy which portrays how she feels about the weight loss, I also took photographs of her holding up old pieces of clothing to show the extreme differences of before and after. I have chosen that on my double page spread, I will use an image which shows her holding up an old pair of trousers as a visual for the readers. Due to spacing reasons it was difficult to find somewhere to take the images. For this reason we took the images in front of the curtains with the intention that once back at college I would use Photoshop to edit this out. Below is an example of some of the images I have taken, both successful and unsuccessful ones.
The images above are those which I have chosen not to use, this is for reasons such as not portraying the message I wanted to give to the audience or due to visual reasons such as the model not being ready or due to the image not being taken to a high standard such as not being centered correctly.
The image above is the image I have chosen to use for my main image on the double page spread for "Diets. Dangerous or Delightful?" This is because I feel it portrays the message I am trying to give to the readers in a very visual and literal way as they can see the clear transformation of before and after. Now that I have chosen to use this image, once back at college after the half term break I will begin editing the background on Photoshop to a high standard to ensure it looks appropriate for my double page spread.
As I changed the design and layout of my contents page, it is important that I have images for it which will allow me to show the reader what is going to be involved in the magazine. I have decided to use this image on my contents page for this reason. Similarly with the previous image, once back at college I will edit the image on Photoshop to allow me to have a white background on the image so it fits in with the house style on the contents page.
