Magazine Project Genre Research-Outdoor Photography Canada

-
On the cover of Outdoor Photography Canada, a stunning photograph of a forest is shown. There is a man sitting on a rock in the lower right corner, staring out into the wilderness; a river runs below him, and it travels through the forest until it disappears behind the horizon and perhaps reaches the ocean that is displayed in the far background.The trees are hues of orange and yellow, which catches the viewer's eye. After being drawn in by the colors, the viewer sees the man in the corner. Next, he or she will spot the river, and follow its trail throughout the whole photograph. After looking at the image, the reader will be intrigued to look at the text surrounding the photo and buy the magazine. In all, this is an exquisite usage of color and photography skills to draw in an audience. Inside the issue, there are articles on photo editing tips (page 9), a photographer finding his passion for photography as well as nature conservation (page 10-11), and different types of photography (page 30-32). The advertisements are based on pictures as well: ads for photography trade shows (page 2), picture printing companies (page 5 and 29), camera cleaning kits (page 35), photography tours (page 37), and more. The distribution number of this magazine is issue 47, and it does not appear that this magazine has won any or been nominated for any awards.

Revision- Cover Page

-
Image
     Revising my cover page was a bit difficult because my peers gave me many conflicting opinions. Some people loved the way my cover looked while others believed that the design should be changed. My feedback was a bit broad, so it was difficult to figure out how exactly to change my cover; however, I did get one helpfully specific critique: add an outline to the star that contains the words "EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PHOTOGRAPHER".      The photo shown to the left displays the border I added to the star shape. I used the color Accent 2, Lighter 40% to match the blue theme of my cover. I tried different colors and shades, but anything lighter than this was barely visible and anything darker contrasted with the text too much. While the edit is small, it polishes the cover page and makes it look more aesthetically appealing.

CCR 3

-
     At the beginning of this project, I had never used Microsoft Publisher before. I was completely new to this program, so I had to ask my peers and teacher how to perform specific actions. I was used to some features, such as how to add text boxes, from using it on other applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint. I still had to learn how to change the background color as well as add gradients, page borders, and more. Learning how to format my content was a challenge too: my text was cut off by pictures and I could not figure out how to fit everything in an appealing way onto the page. After much trial and error, though, I figured out how to fit everything in a satisfactory way.      The other program I used was Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. While I am no expert at this and there are still many features I do not know how to use, I already had some experience in this application and I knew how to edit my photos due to digital photography classes I have taken....

Dog Table of Contents- Location Scouting

-
Image
I chose this location - my house - because it was very sensible to do so. Because of this location choice, I did not need to schedule anything; all I had to do was come home and photograph my dog. Due to this convenience, I got many pictures of my "model" in a few diverse poses. This allowed me to have a wide variety of options to choose from when I was selecting the final photo, which is shown above. I took some pictures inside my house and some in my backyard, but ultimately chose to use one of the images from indoors.
