Before creating my first fashion spread I had to take a wide variety of shots of the model which I was using within this process I aimed to apply a lot of the photography skills that I had already learnt within the unit. These techniques varied from the rule of thirds and manual focus and I believe these features are apparent within my pieces of work. However we were not allowed to use digitalised skills such as auto focus and aperture. The theme surrounding the four fashion spreads that I was creating was based around the season of spring and the brief indicated that each fashion spread must have relevant Mise-en-scene regarding the theme so that the magazines was appealing to both genders male and female, however this article would be predominately based around the female gender.I believe my intentions for this photograph are apparent as I aimed for the beauty of the model to be expressed and the items of clothing that she is wearing to be expressed as well. I believe my intentions were portrayed successfully in this photograph as the technique of the rule of thirds is used appropriately and immediately draws the attention of the photograph to the models clothing . This is seen as the models clothing is located on the horizontal and vertical lines of the photograph (also known as the golden points). This helps the audience as the clothing is the first thing that they will look at within the photograph. I believe this photograph fully fulfils my intentions to portray the beauty of the model and her clothing as the use of relevant and appropriate photography techniques such as the rule of thirds and manual focus are used to capture these intentions. I believe that the photograph that I have taken is appropriate for a teenage lifestyle magazine as the model that I have used is aged 17, the fact that the model is this age makes the magazine more relatable to a teenage target audience, also the items of clothing that the model is wearing can be purchased from shops that many teenagers shop at so it is appropriate to its target audience in that ways also. I also believe that this photograph is appropriate to the specific theme of fashion and spring that I aimed to create for this fashion spread as the model has a passion for clothing and floral designs, I believe this is expressed through relevant Mise-en-Scene within the photograph. I believe the meaning created through this image is clear, as the image fully portrays the beauty of the model and positively represents the theme of spring, this can be clearly seen through the lighting of the photograph and the use of relevant Mise-en-scene (location and clothing).Fashion spread 1

For the production of the four fashion spreads based around the theme of spring that would be used in the teenage lifestyle magazine that I have already created (Prime) the brief indicated that it was essential that the fashion spreads that we are creating must follow the stereotypical codes and conventions of fashion spreads by applying these codes and conventions each of the spreads that I create must have appropriate headlines, fonts sizes layout and by-lines.

The brief also indicated that the photograph is the most important aspect of this process, and I believe that my fashion spreads fully reflect this statement as within each of the four spreads that I have created the main image is the focal point of the fashion spread. For the production of my first fashion spread based around the theme of spring I believe the combination of image and text works appropriately to the theme I have chosen.

I believe the meaning created for this fashion spread is very similar to the photograph that I mentioned In the previous slide as, the spread still portrays the beauty of the model and her clothing also the use of the warm colours and text illustrates the point even further as the colour pink has connotations of love and warmth.
