Production Log - Monday 30th March

Today I acted upon feedback given to me by my teacher, for example I removed the bevel and emboss from my contents page where I have created a black box that says '@rhythmik', in doing so I think that it has made my contents page look more consistent as all of my boxes had a 'clean' look to it without any effects. therefore by getting rid of these effects makes the page look neater and more professional.
On top of this, I have made my main image on my front cover much larger to draw significant attention from my target audience to my front cover, moreover I have placed the main image in front of my title so that you a few letters of the title are covered by the image. This highlights that my magazine is an already well known brand and therefore can afford to do so, as consumers will already recognise the magazine without needing to explicitly state 'rhythmik'.

Draft Magazine - March

This is the third draft of my magazine, I have again changed my quote page to style now that I am content with.

Chosen Images

Draft Magazine - February

This is my second draft of my magazine, I have made made improvement such as the consistency and house style on my front cover by changing my sell lines, also I have added pull quotes and changed my quote page entirely.

Equipment

I used the program in-design to create my entire magazine, I also used Photoshop to edit the images I took of my models, I used Photoshop to do things such as change the colouring of the photos to make them more vibrant and eye-catching to fit in with the ethos of my magazine. Another piece of equipment I used was the camera to capture different types of shots of my models such as long shots, mid shots, high view shots and close ups. In order to take these pictures I used lighting to illuminate my model, creating a high quality picture to be used in my magazine – I had to manipulate the lighting according to the position of my models in order to make sure that the picture would come out in the clearest format and not have the appearance of being ‘washed out’. I also used the plain white backdrop to take these images in front of in order to make the model the main focus of the picture, however different backgrounds can be used to create a more edgy RnB look to suit my magazine genre.

Box Out Text

 

This is the box out text that I have created on InDesign for my magazine. "Im taking it back to basics" and "Jasmine discusses all" will appear on my double page spread to entice readers into my article, increasing interest and enjoyablity of readers. "Never forget who you are - jasmine one" will appear largely on my quote page to display the ethos and branding of my feature artist.

Contact sheet

This is the contact sheet from my first photo shoot including my feature model, I will be using various different pictures shown here on the contact sheet throughout my magazine.
