Front covers

I chose this image to use as it was suitable for use in my clothes front cover. I like the image because it is fully in focus and has the right framing, the lighting is also nice as it shows detail.

It fits my theme as she has a casual pose. She is a teenager as this caters to my target audience of teenagers. I feel as if it fits the teenage life style genre as it is casual and has accessories such as wrist bands.

The final outcome fulfilled my intentions as it follows my theme of clothes in the cover lines, it mentions new styles and different clothes.

I feel as if the grey background and the black outline on the text allows the image and words to stand out. I also have everything necessary for a magazine as it shows the barcode, mast head, main image and cover lines.

It also caters to both male and female as none of the cover lines are directed towards one gender. I have also not used any colours that are stereotypically directed to one gender either

I felt as if this image was what I needed for my hats front cover as it fulfilled all of my intentions. The image has nice lighting, the background allows the model to stand out. The hat is also very bright so it acts as a focal point.

The model has a relaxed pose and is smiling, this caters to the teenage audience as it is friendly.

I feel as if this image went well with the front cover as it allows the words to stand out making it user friendly. I have highlighted some words in red to make them stand out over the rest and made some words bigger so it looks more important.

The cover lines relate to my theme as some of them are about hats. It caters to both genders as the theme (hats) is not specifically for one gender.

I feel as if this image fulfilled my intentions as the theme for the magazine is music and the earphones are easily visible from this angle. His pose is casual and relaxed with a smile, this is because the magazine genre is teenage lifestyle so this will cater to the target audience.

The image is also bright so it is clear and easy to see.

This front cover fulfilled my intentions as it covers all of the conventions of a magazine, I put my model over the title to make him easier to see. It clearly shows the cover lines as they are outlined in black with some words highlighted in red to keep the colour theme.

I used banners for advertisements, I planned to do this at the beginning and I am happy with the outcome, I had to change it from my original plans. The font is easily readable so it caters to the target audience. This magazine is for both genders and I make this clear by not having colours or accessories that are stereotypical for one gender.

This image worked well for me as it show cased the coat as the theme is ‘winter’. I wanted the image to be bright and for the model to have a friendly smile, I felt as if I got all of these. The pose is casual this is because it is a teenage lifestyle magazine.

I wanted the coat to be in the middle of the image and clear, I felt as if this image has that.

My intentions where to make a magazine that would cater to both male and female, to have a clear image and cover line that would relate to the theme and the target audience and make it user friendly. I fulfilled these by making the colour scheme red so that it is not gender specific.

The image is clear on the front as it has a grey background allowing it to stand out. I outlined the text in black and highlighted some words in red to make it easier to read for the audience.

My intentions for this image was to capture depth of field, nice lighting and for the model to have a good pose. All of these features would appeal to the target audience as it would help showcase the clothes.

I fulfilled these intentions by using manual focus to get the depth of field, I also adjusted the aperture and shutter speed to get the right lighting. I feel as if his pose is casual allowing the focus to be on the clothes. My theme is smart and this was made evident by the clothes he was wearing.

My intentions for the outcome where to make all of the words easily visible and to have the clothes stand out. I added a box to the background of the text so that the audience can easily read what is on the page.

To keep a constancy to all of my photos I added an orange glow over them making them all look part of the same shoot.

For this image I wanted to capture a portrait image so that it would fit with the third on the same page, I also wanted to show all of the outfit. I feel as if the outcome was nice as the clothes stand out against the green background making it the focal point for the target audience.

I wanted to capture a portrait image here so that it would fit on a double page with the second shot, I also wanted to get the whole outfit in the shot. I feel as if this image worked out nicely as his clothes stand out.

The image on the left is the second shot, my intentions where to keep the orange theme and to have it on a double page with the third image. I felt as if this image worked as it did keep the theme.

The image on the right is the third shot, my intentions where to keep the orange theme and to have it on a double page with the second image. I also wanted to create a happy meaning through the edit and I think the colours allow this to happen.

My intentions for this photo where to have depth of field to allow the clothes to stand out over the background. I also wanted bright lighting so the audience can see the image clearly. I like the outcome as the focal point is on the model.

My intention for this edit was to carry on the theme and make the outfit clear. Since the lighting was bright on some points of his shirt I adjusted the brightness on Photoshop to make it easier to see.

Fashion SpreadAll of the fashion spread images work together as the clothes all follow the same theme. I also used a lot of the same editing techniques in each photo for example the orange and white overlay is on each image making them look part of a set. I kept the same font running through all of the images to keep the theme.

The images work well with my magazine front covers as they all showcase the clothing and keep a similar theme running through the whole shoot.
