Cover Picture- Photo Shoot

-
 For this photo shoot, I aimed to obtain a picture for the cover of my magazine.
To schedule this session, I contacted my friend electronically and asked if she could be a model for my magazine. I then stated the times that I was available and waited for her reply. Soon after, we had established a date and time. Although we were busy and the allotted time for our shoot was small, I was able to take a good amount of photos that were exactly what I was looking for. The large, black-and-white image shown above is the one I selected for my magazine's cover. I used Photoshop to drain the color from this photo, creating a timeless effect. I also added a slight black vignette around it for depth. The original, unedited picture is shown directly below it along with the rest of the images taken in this photo session.

Project Selection-Magazine

-
Because of viewing multiple media products such as "The Newsroom" and analyzing various magazines, creating a magazine seems like it would be a challenging yet enjoyable experience. I like to take photographs, so stockpiling my magazine with various images would most likely be the most gratifying task for me. Also, designing the layout might be fun as well, but could also be difficult, especially when attempting to figure out new software. However, studying magazines and blog samples in class have heightened my skills and will prepare me to face this challenge if I do decide to make a magazine. Another test I may face is interviewing people, especially people I do not know. It is difficult for me to come up with certain ideas on the spot, so preparing my questions beforehand as well as doing practice interviews would make this task easier for me. Watching "All the President's Men" has also prepared me to conduct interviews, and Woodward and Bernstein's way o...

Revision- Cover Page

-

     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.

Target Audience Research- Digital Photo Magazine

     The target audience for my magazine is around 20-60 years old, and my magazine does not apply to a particular gender. It applies to people from all over the world, but mostly people in first-world countries who have access to DSLR cameras. The magazine applies to many income levels, mostly the middle class and a bit of the higher class. These people are at least high school graduates, and there are many college graduates in the mix as well. Of course, my target audience must be interested in photography, which is what my magazine revolved around.      A magazine that has a similar target audience is Digital Photo Magazine ( DPM ). For one, both of our audiences are photographers, which is the main attribute that readers of DPM and Technique should possess. Digital Photo Magazine is aimed towards adults who are able to purchase a DSLR camera, which matches my magazine's target audience as well. DPM does not appeal to any particular gender and inste...
