[Post Number 5]
3 – 12 November 2019 As a preliminary task for this course, I have published a magazine cover. This included research, taking professional photos, editing the photos, and formatting a photo to a cover with text. The photo shown is the final product, following experiencing researching and creating. With classmates completing film as their focus throughout this course, I have produced this work on my own. The sole contribution from others are the subjects being photographed to be used in my print.
Evaluation: As a preliminary task, I put much effort to produce this cover. It involved photography and editing, culminating many roles to produce a single product.
Text Styles: A relatively plain font was used for the text. This is easy to read, attracting a wider audience. However, the slight cursive appearance creates a
Photography: The photography itself was the most time-consuming, since it required ample communication between myself and my subject. Finding the correct lighting and camera settings while the subject posed appropriately was challenging. Below are a few photos taken as trials and were potentially used as the cover.
Practice shot following the extreme close-up style with eye contact from the subject. Black and white edit to not contrast other potential text on magazine.
An extreme close-up angle is utilized in the photography work. Sharp focus is the technique to indicate professionalism and to have an impression on the audiences. The photograph shown is an unedited version.
Different angle with higher sunlight on the side of the face. This one did not make it as a cover magazine since it was a widely shot photograph and the face was tilted too far to the side.
Lower angle attempted to be used to indicate power, however this differs from the initial goal to create an emotional, close-up shot.
