Prelim 2- Magazine Cover and Contents Page- The finished magazine and contents.

For the cover as i stated above we were advised correctly to use a limited colour pallet, this creates an eye catching covert that wont confuse the reader at first glance.



Myself and Hannah both thought the picture of Miles fit perfectly for the purpose of our magazine, being a relevant student body.
The Cover stories we decided to use we joint decisions, we thought they were slightly humorous but still had relevance.
We were both extremely happy with our magazine cover.

Contents --- For the contents page we again chose a limited colour palette for the reasons above. This time we thought to give out contents a more realistic effect we would use a different shot of somebody else. This shows we have backups and have thought further into the design process before hand. We also thought Dani (who we were originally using) has the right look for editorial pieces as she is extremely photogenic.

MYself and Hannah were extremely pleased with the outcome of our contents page and believe we followed the brief well.

Prelim 2- Magazine Cover and Contents Page.

As another introduction to the course and photoshop we were asked to crearte a School Magazine Cover and Contents page. We were asiked to go into groups of 2 I chose to go with Hannah Scoular because I think she has a certain relevance to the school community. At first we chose Dani Haigh to front our magazine cover but later changed it as it was difficult to cut out. Later after deliberating as a group we thought it would make it easier to take another picture and would be visually better quality to take another photol. Unfortunately  Dani was unavailable to take another photo for us at short notice. This caused complication for the group, we later decided to have Miles Splevings as our cover photograph, we chose him  because we thought his look was relevant and likely to be seen on the front of a published magazine.


Over all we were very impressed with out end product, we even considered wether we would buy this magazine.


Here is the starting picture which we took of Miles for our Front cover.

After gaining further feedback from the teacher and making a few minor alterations we transformed the picture above into what we thought was a marketable magazine cover and contents page.

Preliminary exercise.- Short video

As one of our tasks we were asked to create a short video no longer than 15 frames. Using skills such as shot reverse shot, action shot and a range of other camera angles. In the film we had to include a member of the group walking into a room sitting at a table and having a conversation with somebody.
In ours we thought it would be a good idea for one of us to go into the library and ask to use a computer. Unfortunately the librarian was not willing to let us film, so instead of recreating a new storyboard we thought it would be better time management to create a library scene of our own. When the film is completely finished and edited I will make sure I post it onto my Blog.!
